We buy a used Porsche Taycan! Bargain price, 1000km road trip and charging dramas

EV Central

A Taycan’s DC charge port is behind the front left wheel, and Tesla chargers are designed for Teslas to back into position and recharge at their rear-mount ports. It’s Alan’s first stab at DC charging and he’s experienced the first hiccup. He’s not wrong. It is arse-hole parking. It’s cost us $29.12.

What Type of Motor Is Used in EVs?

Get Electric Vehicle

AC & DC EV Motors The two types of electric flow are alternating current (AC) and direct current (DC). While your electric car’s motor runs on alternating current (AC), the battery requires direct current (DC). Conversion from alternate to direct current is thus required, either onboard or outside the vehicle.

Fly the Hybrid Skies

Cars That Think

Advanced semiconductors, motors, and batteries are enabling energy conversion efficiencies above 90 percent and continuously improving the ratio of power to weight. Each side of the plane has a conversion system that takes DC battery power and converts it to the AC power required to drive the motor that spins the turbine.
