ELECTRIC FUTURE?6 Aug 2021 10:04
Its always interesting that when the manufacturers talk about the range of an EV, its never real world, much like the mpg lab testing results for diesels and petrol . Winter, sub zero temperatures, (as we all know cold weather hammers a battery), heater on, lights on, stationary traffic, or Motorway speeds which tans an EV battery. Just out of interest I spoke to a rep at a TESLER dealer a few years ago and asked him how far one would go 5 up, and towing a caravan, oh dear, not very far. Great for commuting only or a nice day out. When 50% of the cars weight, in a model S, that`s one ton, is the battery and 5 tons in a HGV, there`s the problem. If as much money had gone into hydrogen fuel cell research as has into EV`s we would be a lot further forward. Cheers and GLA.
