The Hyundai Ioniq5 and Kia EV6 that I recently tested—a pair of wildly impressive, high-design EVs—take a different approach to solving range anxiety: an 800-volt battery architecture that delivers some of the fastest charging in the EV game, and unheard of at these price levels. As noted, the Hummer costs more than $110,000.

Lightning Motorcycles “Costs are becoming competitive, so the last big issues are range and charge time,” Hatfield says. When it’s time to stop, the Strike can absorb Level 3 juice at up to 120 kilowatts. Yet the bike still slurps juice nearly four times faster than the Harley’s 3.3-kilowatt

Since it was not a Level 2 charger, I knew it would not gain much juice overnight. Fortunately the guy next to me was finishing charging his Mustang Mach-E and he “gave” me his cable to use (the cost was being charged to his company card).

In case of power outage at home, the DC pins in the charger can send juice back into the house, keeping the lights on. GM produces the Chevy Volt and GMC Hummer EV and is preparing its 2023 launch of the Silverado EV.) And he’s skeptical about the cost factor in home bidirectional chargepoints.

The upfront costs of doing the switch at the same time will be more, but you’ll end up saving money on fuel and maintenance costs over the next several years. For smaller fleets, we have the Blink 30kW DC Fast Charger , which is a small footprint charging station that provides up to 100 amps and 1000 volts of output.

this month's Gizmo column , which each cost thousands of dollars. That got me thinking, how hard would it be, and how much would it cost, to do a simple conversion now? Here I took advantage of already owning an electric lawnmower, figuring that the 40-volt, 4-ampere-hour battery I had for it would serve well.
