Yo what's up we are now sitting in a Tesla Model y performance I'm doing Um a trailer 1 000 kilometer Challenge And I figured that I should have another Um 4K podcast sorry if there's a bit of Shake because actually the trailer Causes some shake on the car and then Yeah since this one doesn't have the Super smooth silky smooth right then There might be some shake there so Excuse my shakiness but yeah so the Topic today is about range on electric Cars so you know I heard recently in the News that Toyota of All Brands out there Man Toyota they are aiming for 1 000 Kilometer range on their cars That got me thinking is it really needed I mean even Roadster you know road yeah The 2020 wrote the Roadster Tesla claimed that it will have A thousand kilometers of range or 600 Miles right from actual Highway range And they claim 200 kilowatt hour battery But not gonna be thinking is it really Needed because that's a little bit Overkill it would actually be better if The Roadster was uh equipped with Roughly 100 120 kilowatt hour And that will make the roads the lighter And by the end of the day you might not Need all that range anyway so so yeah I Mean Okay Um you you hear this all the time people
Say the people who are stuck in the Fossil past They they say that I don't want to Switch over to Electric until we have a Thousand kilometer range and uh it can Refill or recharge within five minutes This is actually the 1 000 kilometer Challenge in a nutshell why did I make This challenge in the first place Because I kept hearing those people say Oh well we want 1 000 kilometer range Then we will consider electric cars I Think that's just uh based on um on I Mean it's a lack of knowledge it's based On wrong assumptions based on fossil Mindset that you need that much range Um also my idea with the 1000 kilometer Challenge was to show you that on the Long trip Uh you st you have to stop and charge Yeah but you still still need to stop For food or pee break or whatever anyway And then when I started the 1 000 Kilometer challenge in I think it was in 2019 Then we we already had pretty good cars Like Tesla Model 3 like to charge fast And have good efficiency and long range Also Uh so my point was that as long as you Can finish 1 000 kilometer or the Challenge was to finish it in in 10 Hours Then that is good enough and by the end
Of the day uh you know I used to own Fossil cars when I took long trips with Foster cars I would also stop and And eat or go to the restroom and maybe Stretch my legs a bit maybe check Facebook so When you travel long distance you might Spend 10 hours driving 1000 kilometer With a faucet car also But people just don't notice that They're wasting time literally you know Not driving and hammering it yeah but Anyway so that was the whole point 1 000 Kilometers but I think it's just that People uh fossil lovers or people who Never used EVS before they they are Stuck in that mindset just like many People they they think that Um rear wheel drive in electric car is Bad for winter but everyone who has Owned a Tesla more or less Raven Drive Or actually many other Raven Drive Electric cars they they can approve that Electric cars they they don't follow the The disadvantages of faucet cars when it Comes to Raven Drive But uh and the same thing my claim is That For electric cars you don't need 1 000 Kilometer range or whatever you know I Used to own a Renault Laguna 1.9 DCI 2004 model That's diesel by the way with 70 liter Tank and I actually I had a video a long
Time ago I did the challenge which was About to drive from Oslo to Buddha in a Single tank and I made it there 1200 Kilometers the Laguna average around 5.6 Liters per 100 kilometers On that trip it was even winter But you see so yeah fossil cars they Have that massive range but did I stop During that trip yes I stopped to eat I Stopped to pee you know So I mean do we actually need that rain Well we have to look at I mean fossil cars they have a great Advantage with it that they are running On dinosaur juice well I'm just kidding They're running on fossil fuels which Has really high Okay that's also true but they are Really highly flammable but they are Highly flammable because they don't have Really high energy density they The only problem is that they are not Utilizing Even half of that energy that's a Different story but But at least they have really good range Because you can just add one extra liter Of fuel tank or whatever and you will Certainly get a lot more range so even My Laguna I went up with 70 liter tank It's 70 liter tank doesn't take up that Much space versus let's say a 35 liter Tank right so it becomes convenient you Have long range and it doesn't really
Suck you don't have to sacrifice that Much for that kind of tank storage thing But in electric cars of course that's Different But for example electrical fossil cars They have a disadvantage or the weakness Of fossil car is that Well they pollute that's one thing also But they are actually quite weak In terms of power our power output so uh You might have a big ass engine filling Up the whole Hood plus a gearbox because They need gearbox yeah they have so Narrow Power Band Um that ways right so like you you Have a big heavy engine Taking up a lot of space and only Outputs 150 or 200 horsepower whereas Electric cars they will then have just a Tiny motor like 400 horsepower you know In one small motor on the inverter so That's the strength of electric cars But my point is that it doesn't cost or It it doesn't take much for electric I Mean for foster cars to have that extra Range so that's why many people have Gotten used to that well you know if you Have plenty range on fossil cars why Don't we we expect the same thing with Electric cars But do you actually need it and also Let's not forget that Um we have many more and more hybrids
Now On the roads like if I ask BMV or audio Volkswagen or whatever brand out there Right that also has fossil cars in Norway especially but also in Sweden uh How many pure fossil cars do you sell Versus how many plug-in hybrids do you Sell and they can tell you that Like about 70 80 percent of plug-in Hybrids they almost don't sell pure Fossil anymore because at least in Norway if you have plug-in hybrid you Get some tax deductions So yeah so that that's mainly why plug People buy hybrids because they are Cheaper not because they're trying to Save the planet Same for electrical car owners right That's all right but But did you know that because okay I Mentioned that we have the the full set Drivetrain which is awesome when it Comes to range But not so great when it comes to power But then The electric drivetrain complements that By having a small motor compact motor With lots of power good punch but short Range but they can but then it's like a Good signature effect because it can Then get the energy from the the fossil Engine so the hybrid in theory sounds Like The Best of Both Worlds right but It actually isn't
I'm not sure if I made a video about the Problem the big problems Being disadvantages with hybrids maybe I Should make that video one day But um sorry I've been talking a lot in Live stream that's why my voice is Getting a little bit torn down But you see the problem with plug-in Hybrids is that not only do you have to Take up so much space for the fossil Engine and great gearbox you certainly Have to take take up even more space for For a battery and an electric motor an Inverter and some other electronics for The plug-in hybrid and then Uh fossil cars in general they don't Usually have that much space No no faucet car has a front for example So what do they do they cut down they Shave off on the on the fuel tank so Plug-in hybrids usually they have only Around 35 to 40 5 liter tank even bigger Cars you know like yeah even bigger cars Will have just that kind of small tank And that ultimately means that the range Is suddenly not 1 000 kilometer anymore On those hybrids they are roughly around 500 kilometers and I can confirm this When I did a test with both pure plug-in Hybrids like the Kia seed but also uh The Nissan X -trip no it's like Prime I don't Remember but you know that the E power
E-power yeah So yeah that's it man I mean but is that The problem no because uh hybrids for Sales they can okay even if they have Only 500 kilometers of range uh they can Just go to a fast uh sorry they can go To a gas station and fill up Within five minutes So no problem But electric cars they will never get 1 000 kilometer range yet but it would be Great right if every electric car had One thousand kilometers well is it Needed Because there are some Disadvantages with getting a thousand Kilometer range because No matter how cheap the batteries will Be well okay it has to be really cheap But I mean even even if the batteries Were dirt cheap they still weigh Something and they still take up space So that even in the future when we have Higher energy density batteries and they Charge blistering fast well actually That's a good thing Um There will always be people who want to Pay less for An electric car and if they have if they Can choose between something with 1 000 Kilometer range versus 500 kilometer Range They will go for the 500 because it's
Cheaper and they don't need it And then why do they know don't they Don't why don't they need it well Because I have experienced this for a Long time actually 10 years now that as Long as you have Roughly 500 kilometers of range in the Navy and as long as you have cars that Charge fast and that are efficient and As long as you have plenty of fast Charges then on long trips Um the the human becomes the the Bottleneck not the car Like one thousand kilometer challenge Well okay we're not put in a trailer It's a prime example that like the Charging stops are so fast I barely have Time to eat something I end up eating Hot dogs and like that I can't have A proper dinner like I would do on a Regular trip right So it means that already today today's Electric cars with 500 just like the Poster in front of us right the charges Are 250 well the new one is actually 200 Kilowatt like as long as you have let's Say 80 to 100 kilowatt hour battery and Control that 150 200 kilowatt Within 250 Then that is sufficient that is plenty You don't need more like I mean okay I Mean more is always better yes yes true More is always better but that applies To everything right like
Um I mean how do I put this uh like a Good sound system is always better than A cheaper sound system but the good Sound system costs more so it's like What are you willing to pay For it so most people they were probably They're price oriented and don't want to Pay too much but as long as they get Okay performance whether that's speaker Or car or whatever they will just go for That one but they were not gonna pay That extra Top tier for uh five percent extra Performance or something like that Um So what do we get um my point long story Yeah is that um wait man Um I have to overtake some of these guys My point is that Um Even if you can make cars with 1 000 Kilometer range car manufacturers Eventually when they realize that they Can make the batteries smaller and Lighter do they think they do you think They're gonna go for it yes Because for example one problem with Sedans electric sedans nowadays is that The battery pack is almost without Exception at the bottom of the car not On the roof or some like that and That means that The battery pack eats up precious space So that you have less leg room like
Lucid for example have some trick if you Go for a slightly smaller battery There's a section of the the battery Pack that is open or I mean you know not Taking up space so you will have better Leg room But you see where it's going that if you Can make the battery smaller thinner You will then minigate mitigate or Reduce the the disadvantage with battery Cars space wise so yeah if car Manufacturers can shrink this battery Then of course they're going to do it And also if the batteries can be lighter Let's say in the future 100 kilowatt Hour might weigh only 300 kilograms okay But if they can Uh shrink it down to 200 kilograms of Course they're gonna do it It would be cheaper and it would be Better for space and better for weight Also Better observation or yeah whatever not Always advantages So but but does it mean that in the Future there won't be any 1 000 Kilometer Um Cars well I think there will be but That's it I always thought about this When you look at some exotic expensive Sports car or whatever you know like Supercar like a Ferrari or Lamborghini Or whatever no what
What is so special about those cars when They look cool they're expensive so You're paying for that Louis Vuitton Brand or whatever you know you're paying For the brand paying to show off that You have money but another thing that Was associated with it with those cars That they were fast whereas all the Fossil cars you see around here you know They have only 100 200 100 150 Horsepower but those exotic cars they Would have 400 500 kilometers 400 500 Horsepower and they can do it people Will be like oh how fast is zero to 100 You know they would be bragging about That but ever since Tesla came out And then more and more electric cars Came out The gap between Uh Affordable electric cars versus Exotic super fossil cars have been Smaller and smaller so that The reason to get those supercars is not For Speed anymore if you want to get the Fastest one get planned you know plant Is gonna beat all of and most of those Cars so electric drivetrain has the Advantage that you can make them Compact And you can have so much house Horsepower it's like um it's like when You compare CRT screens versus LCD you Know if you want to have a let's say if You want to have 50 inch or that's
Actually today today it's quite common To have around 60 65 inch flat screen at Home if you want to have 65 inch CRT screen you probably have to fill up Half the room with CRT tube it's going To be ginormous and that's almost the Way fossil cars are what I think okay That's almost the way it is with Vertical if you want to have 1000 Horsepower in a fossil car you probably Have to have some humongous Um radiators you have to reject massive Amount of heat just like uh Bugatti Veyron you know the Veyron is blistering Fast but it's also a thirsty beast and When you're getting 1000 or 1500 Horsepower Which is about one megawatt of power You don't have to reject Two megawatts of heat or maybe even more It's just insane amount of losses uh It's like it's like a ginormous CRT Screen you need to show off for your uh Bodies but then when LCD technology came It was way better okay LCD had its Disadvantages yes for example when it Comes to uh resolution CRT it's analog So you just you fire that beam and even If it hits the photon hits between some Some of those lines it doesn't matter Too much but with LCD you would then see some pixelation Or if you don't you if you're not Running on the optimal resolution that
The panel has then uh there will be some Uh yeah you can see it's not that pretty Okay there are some tricks with Anti-alyzing and stuff like that to try To smoothen out it but but of course Eventually once the things got better And also latency got better and the Color and everything got better on flat Screen then nowadays flat screen just Dominates Nobody uses CRT anymore maybe except for Some I don't know hospitals or do they Even use that there Oh Yep uh but okay so but yeah my Comparison with the CRT whatever is that Um The same thing you know faucet cars is That fossil cars they are so inefficient And so big uh Uh but with electric cars you can get so Much power like even like the post that We saw earlier has over 400 horsepower And they can match those exotic Supercars so then what is the point of Buying the Supercar then well Um you can get Supercar you can maybe in The future you can get electric Supercar With 2 000 horsepower yeah why not but There is a problem if you have that high Power the human again becomes a Limitation because you will then Apply massive g-forces to the human Driving it and you know those are not
Astronaut trained people those are not F1 drivers those are regular people with Lots of money maybe And Okay if nobody dies in an accident there Might be some lawsuit where people oh I Didn't expect the car to make me dizzy Or get a blackout because of the massive Uh acceleration right I wonder what's going to happen with Roadster when it comes out but okay So okay but how do you make a car Exclusive then If you offer something expensive well You can offer nice interior Yeah must start but even even affordable EVS today like especially Chinese cars They already have better mustard than The the German cars so what why would You buy a very expensive electric Rolls-Royce for example well range That's what I figure out what they can Offer in the future is that the most Expensive cars they will have the Biggest batteries because they will There will also be heavier and more Expensive uh take up space and like That But those flagships They will then offer a 1 000 kilometer Range and then do you need it no like do You need a thousand horsepower no but do You want it yeah it would be like a Thing to show off right that's what I
Think might happen we will see it in a Couple of years maybe if my predictions Were right or wrong but okay but I also Need to back up that okay so I claim That 500 600 kilometers of range is Sufficient and lots of people will say No no that's not enough and you know Remember that some people cannot charge At home Um yeah true but have you seen in in Norway Especially Oslo the municipality they Have set up lots of AC trotting spots Type 2 and they are slow they are only Around 16 to 30 amp which is around 3.7 To 6 kilowatt Six six and a half kilowatt and that is Actually sufficient for providing energy To day-to-day driving Um And then what so actually I mean if Norway can do it other countries can Also do it and the good thing about AC Charging is that it doesn't cost that Much to put up One charging spot or Several of those and it doesn't pull Massive power unlike a high power Charger and Uh yeah and you can even share it you Can have some kind of payment system and Sharing so and since you don't need it Every day then if you whatever whoever Needs it will charge it there okay and Then move the car when it's done you can
Just have some loss that says that if You're blocking it you will be fine you Know like that and then several People can use the same charging spot or Those same groups of joining spots in That area and they will actually raise The value of that neighborhood because You have public charging and it should Also be fairly affordable the government Should actually subsidize some of that Because it will make the the area more Attractive and and also help the Environment So I mean it already works like that in Norway I'm not talking about some Science fiction here this is actually The reality Norway you can Street charge On type 2. Um yeah they also cause some time limits Also I don't remember maybe 16 hour time Limit but that is usually enough to fill Up the battery Uh and in the future the batteries they Are not going to grow and become too big You know normal cars it's just like you Know Foster cars they don't have 200 Liter tank like most cars they will have 50 to 70 liter time because that's Efficient and the same goes about for Electric cars that electric cars Fortunately they will use less and less Energy They will try to make them more Efficient like Tesla so
In my opinion is that electric cars in The future they will usually have I'm I'm thinking that the affordable cars They will have minimum 75 kilowatt hour And then more expensive cars they will Have roughly 100 kilowatt hour and then Maybe some truck cyber truck pickup Truck or SUV they might have as much as 150 kilowatt hour but you don't need Truck truck batteries in there you know You only need 600 kilowatt hour in a Private car Wow what the heck man I I didn't need to Overtake some of these guys trying to Maintain good speed here but Yeah so that's my claim that Um you know you say that yeah but we Need 1 000 kilometer range because Because the charging Network in that Country is shitty yeah but fix the Joining Network then because ultimately When countries are adapting to more and More electric cars like Norway they will Naturally build more and more fast Chargers so then suddenly like in Norway You will have fast charges every uh 10 to 20 kilometers And then you don't need 1 000 kilometer Range so but in some countries you're Clear but in your country we don't have Enough fast charges so we need that Range well but you will then you then Develop and buy a car or whatever That will work
Done yeah but in the future suddenly you Will realize that you don't utilize all That capacity Um and then also another thing we have To consider is that the environmental Footprint that Instead of putting in a humongous Battery That weighs more and consumes more Energy And and also cost more in CO2 emissions Put in a smaller battery and in the Future when they can charge faster then Not the problem right But also another thing I consider is That what about Mega charging if you can Refill in five minutes ah I mean that is Nice that is very nice if they can Someone can figure out how it works Without killing the battery But I still believe that roughly 200 to 350 kilowatts that we have today is Sufficient and it's actually going to be Future proof and it will be sufficient For all time in the future Um from for trucks that's a different Story trucks and buses they naturally Need more power just like you know when You press the whatever button or when You refuel at the truck stop the pump Can run at higher liter per minute Because they just have a ginormous tank But private cars or small no smaller Cars they they don't need that much
Um That most charging speed I mean simply Because there's a like a number limit of How much energy a car consumes Per kilometer And that's not going to change it's not Like if we have cheap and big batteries Suddenly the cars will consume more for No reason they won't you know that it Doesn't work like that but of course There will be cars that will have bigger Batteries like more pickup trucks and More trucks and more Vans or whatever With big batteries compared to the day Uh and even yeah speaking of a big gun And just hammered by this one you know In the future yeah there will be RVs That doesn't weigh a ton and they Can actually have okay range and joining Speed so they're on those cars it makes Sense yeah but I still think that even For an RV getting 350 kilowatt is Sufficient So so the whole the problem with mega Charging is that it sucks so much power And you will also have some losses there Unless they find a new technology some New transistors or whatever you know That that will have lower losses but Um by the end of the day sucking one Megawatt on several spots in a location It's gonna cost you and it it will Always be more expensive than taking Only 150 or 200 kilowatt and if you can
Choose you know if you know that you're Gonna stay there you know for example if You know you have a footstop And you will spend 45 minutes there you Have your family with you Okay do you choose a mega charger that Costs more Or do you choose a 150 or even 100 Kilowatt charger Right of course you go for the cheaper One because you don't know that it will Hurt the battery less or it will cost You less and less losses or stuff like That And it it might also be because of Practical reasons because if you can Just plug in at the spot and then you Know that that spot is going to take 45 Minutes By the time you're back no problem but If you have to plug in at the mega Charger and then you have to wait five Minutes for it to finish and then you Move the car then you're you're Basically lost five minutes So uh yeah it sounds very much I mean I think mega chargers for like well wow There's so many pole Stars here Must I think mega chargers are um I I think it's actually a little bit Hype or I mean I think People driving mega charger forward Could be the same people who think that We need 1 000 kilometer range and they
Because they have the mindset of fossil Car they don't understand that you can Just plug in at home or at work Uh or swap even yeah Um and that you don't need the range I Mean in Earth there's every time I say something There will always be someone who uh Argues against it okay okay but I have My arguments ready uh for people who Cannot Um slow chart at home first of all Yeah like I said the municipality should Take action and Establish charging Street level charging or even and also The government should Make a law that allows Residents or people who live in a High-rise building to to Um Install their own home charging just Like in Norway you know in Norway you Have the right to install your home Charging station In a in a public parking garage that you Own or rent or whatever So that solves the problem And but also in some places yeah there Might be some places maybe in Asia or Depending on where it is right big Cities where it's not possible to build A slow AC charging stations even though I I'm not buying that but okay okay in
Case that is the case and then the only Way for you to charge is to fast charge Um then maybe it makes sense to have High power charging or a mega charger But uh are you sure that's the only way What about shopping balls what about the Gym what about other places you spend a Lot of time On your day right Um I think there's still a lot of Untapped resources that Businesses can attract customers That spends time there Anyway and you can AC charge on 11 Kilowatts and it will still be quite Sufficient if you AC charge 11 kilowatt For a couple hours while you're at the Gym or at the shopping mall you will be Getting lots of energy and it will most Likely be able to fulfill your daily Energy needs So I still believe that 1 000 kilometer range and mega charger Is not The the answer or I mean it's not the Requirement for everyone moving over to Electric Mobility I mean if we have mega charger and Everyone is going to use it it's going To be like China you know people are Gang banging on the supercharger and the Neo swap stations on busy places So I believe we need to spread out the Load and spread out the cost and I mean
Don't underestimate the power of home Charging or don't underestimate the Power of slow charging like a wise man Said once that Any juice is good juice as long as You're not waiting for it as long as You're sleeping or working or doing Something else then It doesn't matter if the charger is a Little bit slow So um yeah I wonder if I touch into all The topics now but um so that that is of Course my claim and we will see we will See how much range Cars will get in the future but I I'm Guessing I'm predicting that like I said The the smallest batteries will be Around 75 kilowatt hour because I think Nowadays yeah like we have some Volkswagen ID3 with the 45 50 kilowatt Hour and then also the still on this car They had a recent upgrade and now they Have around 54 kilowatt hour net capacity I believe That is still a little bit too small That if they could get bigger batteries Without costing too much then they will Go for it But Yeah Budget cars or affordable cars they will Never get the thousand kilometers of Range because it would just be too Expensive and maybe too big too heavy
And too big disadvantages So um yeah And I mean what does it so back to the Okay but The point is that you need to convince These fossil lovers that they can move Over to Electric so if one thousand Kilometer range or five minute recharge Can convince them then Um That that's that's the way to go right No I I think there are other ways to Convince these guys you know I mean Eventually your your neighbor your Friend or you know your colleague will Get an EV with only 500 600 kilometers Of range and then they will be using it For day-to-day driving and also going on Vacation and like that well that's A sport there's so many electric cars in Sweden but they will be used in the cars For just like a fossil car more or less And when you ask them how did you like Quality go down did you have to wait a Lot no Especially now nowadays when you have a Supercharger man which is freaking Supercharges all over the place so the Supercharger is one step big step Towards killing uh One of the big myths or one of the big Disadvantages with the electric car Which is the other style charting cues Supercharged on the network is just
Insanely good the only minus right now It's at this 400 volt base Yeah Um but at least most cars nowadays they Are 400 voltage so they don't they don't Take any major disadvantages on that one Yeah But yeah so you know I I would I would assume that um Car manufacturers they could probably Log this and figure out how many Kilowatt hours they use for example you Know I would like to know for example Mercedes eqs 120 kilowatt hour Do they have any Anonymous data on how Many kilowatt hour The users actually use I mean it could Also be misused in that regard that they Drive around home and they charge the 100 and then they discharge it down to Almost zero before they plug it in but That is misuse in my opinion If they have the opportunity to slow Charge and stay between 80 percent and 30 right they should do that Uh but it must be like a they can figure It out you know if they look at the all The data and they see that no okay you You charge to 100 and then you draw it Down to almost zero on the eqs within uh Just a couple of hours That is a typical uh path that You are using the whole battery but my Claim would be that even for eqs owners
Or maybe even plant owners or you know They are not utilizing That much of the battery but yeah you Can say but having a bigger battery will Then reduce degradation that is true but There are other means of reducing Degradation you can then for example you Know Uh like Tesla they've been having it Since day one you can set charge limit That should be uh A standard feature on most cars rather Than charging it to 100 even if you have A buffer I've seen that the German cars With buffer when you turn to 100 it is Actually 96 which is still not ideal to Stay at 96 for too long Uh but there are ways to uh prevent the Battery from degrading too much So Yeah that's my claim I mean I want to Ask you guys how many kilometers of Range do you think EVS need Do you agree with my uh my claim that Roughly let's say 400 to 600 kilometers Of range is sufficient and then maybe Some of the premium cars they will offer I don't know 800 to a thousand kilometer But that's the premium price you have to Pay Yeah and also that my claim is that Roughly 200 to 350 kilowatt charging is Sufficient because I have experienced it Myself that that is so fast that it is
Fast enough for me I can't keep up with The car man Yeah so anyway I think that's gonna be It for now I hope you guys enjoyed this Video as always thank you watching and Talk to you later

About Electric City Vehicles
The Renault ZOE is a compact, well-equipped electric car with lots of features and the added bonus of an ultra-low price tag. Its instant torque makes city driving simple, while a variety of drive modes allow you to tweak the engine and battery usage for maximum efficiency. The EV also offers impressive regenerative braking and a smart, intuitive infotainment system.
Ford
The EcoBoost-powered Fusion Energi is one of the fastest and most advanced electric cars available, and its interior is packed with cutting-edge tech. There’s a useful regenerative mode for extra energy storage, as well as a unique ‘B’ mode that increases the rate at which the car regenerates kinetic energy during braking.
Porsche
The slick-looking Taycan is the latest entry in Porsche’s burgeoning EV lineup, and its base and GTS models are among the most efficient EPA-rated electric vehicles on the market. Its 93.4-kWh battery pack nets the Taycan 83 MPGe combined, which means it can cover roughly the same distance as an equivalent gasoline vehicle.
GM
The first electric cars hit the road in the late 1990s, and some are still on the roads today. Unlike traditional gas-powered vehicles, fully electric models don’t need oil changes or tune-ups, and their batteries can be recharged at home or at an ever-increasing number of public charging stations. Some electric vehicles—like the EV1 and the Chevrolet Volt plug-in hybrid—run exclusively on electricity until the tank is empty, then kick in with a gas engine for longer trips.
