Solving the Electric Vehicle Charging Conundrum

Cars That Think

And that will get you to your destination with something like 25 or 30 percent of battery range remaining. Nissan Leafs, which were the first battery-electric vehicle to hit the U.S. I mean, my understanding is that's for a new battery and ideal driving conditions. Batteries tend to be like humans. Finally, age.
