Electric City Vehicles and the Power Grid
Electric city vehicles are a growing trend in many cities. The goal is to leave internal combustion engines out of our vehicles and move toward cleaner energy. But the transition to electric vehicles is not without its challenges. One of those challenges is the power grid. Electric cars draw an enormous amount of power. And when they are charging, their batteries have to be refilled with a lot of electricity.
A standard electric vehicle can run up to 80 miles per charge. Some models offer more range and some offer more power. However, the range depends on how far you need to drive and your daily commute. The best electric car should be able to travel 200 miles or more per charge. The Electric Power Research Institute has a Consumer’s Guide to Electric Vehicles that can provide you with more information on battery and range.
Another advantage of electric vehicles is their lower maintenance costs. Unlike gas-powered cars, EVs have fewer moving parts, meaning there’s less chance that something will break. In addition, EVs tend to last longer. They also do not require oil changes, which means they will save you money in the long run.
Electric city vehicles (EVs) represent a key step on the road to carbon neutrality. The NYC DOT and its partners are expanding public charging options throughout the city. They are installing 120 Level 2 charging ports at curbside locations in the five boroughs as part of a demonstration project. These charging hubs will include up to four DC fast chargers.
