Battery packs hate the cold and it makes them very inefficient hence the drop in mileage.

Major issues for me is the amount of infrastructure changes that will be needed to cope with everyone using electric cars. If you don’t have off road parking or a designated parking space you are toast regards charging ( who pays and is it practicable?). The changes to the power grid in terms of...

Neither am I. I designed battery charging systems back in the nineties when lithium Ion first hit so I’m very much behind the on th3 science but the age old problem with batteries in general is efficiently (I) charging (ii) holding the charge and (iii) discharging. As yet I’ve not seen anything...

Innovation is only as good as to what the physics or in this case the chemistry behind it will allow. There is a finite amount of current that can be stored and once that’s reach then that’s it. Then there is the problem of getting the ‘current’ into the cell and then efficiently discharging it.

I’m not sure that it will be physically possible. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Read the thread with a lot of interest, not least because I was involved with designing battery charging system when Lithium-Ion cells first hit the market. Firstly a move from petrol/diesel is a no brainier. What to is the question and almost as importantly how we transition to the...

I drive a Tiguan which is an SUV because of the driving position, for the simple reason that after having my knee replaced, sitting in anything other that an SUV leaves me in a great deal of discomfort. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
