Electric cars are becoming increasingly popular as the world moves towards a more sustainable future. As more people make the switch to electric, one of the most common questions is how much does it cost to recharge an electric car? This article will explore the cost of charging an electric car, as well as other […]

Good news here: There are impressive options for reusing and recycling EV batteries. Already, some companies are using spent EV batteries that can still hold some charge to store electricity generated by solar panels. Likewise, as much as 95% of an EV battery can be recycled — making the critical minerals they contain ready for use

All hybrid vehicles can be refuelled at a service station. Some hybrids may need to use premium grades of petrol (95/98 RON). A plug-in hybrid vehicle can be charged at home from a normal wall outlet. This could take several hours, especially if your battery is low. Keeping your battery around 80 per cent charged,

A hybrid vehicle can run on both petrol/diesel and electric power. They are a cheaper alternative to a fully electric vehicle and provide the benefits of having better fuel economy and reduced impact on the environment than a standard car with only a petrol or diesel motor. There are 2 types of hybrid vehicles: non-plug-in

Many EV models sold can travel over 400km before they need to be recharged. Please note the battery range figures on the label and Green Vehicle Guide are based on a test performed in controlled conditions. Your battery range will be affected by how you use your vehicle, including: how much weight your vehicle is

EVs do not produce any tailpipe emissions. As no tailpipe emissions are measured in the official emissions test, a zero figure is reported on the energy consumption label and the tailpipe figure used on the Green Vehicle Guide. However, emissions may be produced: to generate the electricity for an EV to manufacture a vehicle and

An EV can be charged at home from a normal wall outlet, but could take several hours, especially if your battery is low or empty. Charging your battery to 80 per cent whenever you can will help maximise your vehicle’s battery range and battery life. To minimise battery degradation, you should keep your battery at

01 Charging First, your battery pack needs power, which you can get by either plugging into an outlet or an electric vehicle charging station. 02 Battery Pack Your battery pack is actually a collection of hundreds (and often thousands) of smaller lithium ion cells.The battery pack produces direct current (DC) electricity. 03 Inverter The inverter’s job

The amount of kWh dispensed during a charging session will depend on a number of factors, including: How full your battery is or, your “State of Charge”. Batteries charge fastest when they are nearly empty (low SOC) The duration of your fast charge. As the battery fills up, the charge rate slows down to maximize the battery’s

Electric vehicles now include cars, transit buses, trucks of all sizes, and even big-rig tractor trailers that are at least partially powered by electricity. Electric vehicles fall into three main categories: Battery electric vehicles(BEVs) are powered by electricity stored in a battery pack.Battery Electric Vehicles, also called BEVs and more frequently called EVs, are fully electric vehicles
