efficiency

Don't like your EV range? -- Slow Down ! Please spare me the criticism... I do know that you really can't do this under most circumstances because you will be run over ! There are a lot of factors that can effect EV range performance, and there are many discussions in this forum related to...

Hi everyone, we just released a video on the aerodynamic features of the Porsche Taycan: I'm much looking forward to your comments!

I finally got a real winter drive in, and the good news is the SE is handling the cold temperatures much better than I expected. I went for a 55-mile drive in 10-12 ºF temperatures and got 3.4 mi/kWh (29.4 kWh/100 mi). Roads were clear and almost no wind. I had cabin heat set to 68 ºF, seat...

Newbie here. Would like a Tesla, but I can get a huge rebate on Chevy Bolt. So far those are the only two EV's I've considered. Anybody have any sleeper picks for a very efficient EV, factoring in affordability?

Can anyone approximately quantify how much having a heat pump in a BEV will help in seasonal areas where winter temps will be below freezing for 4-5 months of the year? Not just "they're good" or "they help", but any idea of how much power they save per hour of cabin heating, or a percentage...

We drove the MINI from a completed full charge down until it put itself in park at a consistent 56mph / 90km/hr. The temps were chilly (45-50 degrees F), green mode, climate in auto 68-70F (second level fan). The car managed 132 miles before coming to a stop. Pretty impressive! Kyle

Hi, I am a student at the Eindhoven University of Technology and currently, I am doing my master thesis regarding the feasibility of solar roofs on Electric Vehicles. See below an impression of how this would look like on a model 3. As I would like to gather some input from model 3 owners...

TLDR; I am getting ~55mpg exclusively on gas. Here's my data: For the past week, I decided to run a test on the kind of efficiency I should expect out of my driving conditions. I commute 20mi each way from work, consisting of 10mi town roads and 10mi highway. My average speed likely falls...

Another important thing to mention is the inverse relationship between battery pack size and efficiency. It is more visible among high-end EVs.
