The Truth About Cars

A 116-kWh lithium-ion battery provides the juice but Merc isn’t yet spilling any tea about expected driving range on a full charge. In terms of charging, it can hoover up electricity at 200 kW from a sufficiently robust DC fast charger. This is in contrast to a 2024 gasoline-powered G which is 189.7 inches long on a 113.8-inch

Founder Richard Hatfield claims that the company’s Lightning Strike motorcycle can fill its battery from 20 percent to 80 percent in a little over 10 minutes on a Level 3 DC fast charger. That time isn’t much longer than a gasoline fill-up, especially for motorcyclists who don’t mind some stretching and recovery after hours in the saddle.

That lets the Hyundai and Kia slurp electrons at up to a 270-kilowatt rate, when plugged into a 350-kW DC charger. Hyundai For an Ioniq5 on these Frankenstein plugs, a 5-minute charging stop can add 109 kilometers (68 miles)—not on par with a gasoline fill-up, but eye-blink fast compared with EVs of just a few years ago.
Blink Charging

In the automotive industry, the most obvious shift happening right now is from gasoline- and diesel-powered engines to fully electric motors. A DCFC, like Blink’s 30kW DC Fast Charger , can charge an EV in under an hour, while Level 2 chargers, like Blink’s IQ 200 can charge an EV in just a few hours.

Since it was not a Level 2 charger, I knew it would not gain much juice overnight. That meant looking for a decent public DC charging station in a nearby town. On the last day I knew I would have to get a full charge to make it back to Heathrow and leave it with enough juice for the driver who would collect it. In summary.

As if to confirm that notion, recently a Toyota spokesman in DC was denigrating plug-in hybrids as Hymotion/A123 and Rob Lowe were making a plug-in splash in Congressman Ed Markey's global warming committee. However, the cars can run only short distances before they run out of juice.

In the early years of the automobile, battery-powered electric cars were competitive with cars fueled by gasoline and other types of propulsion. In the 1990s, batteries had far less capacity than they do today, and for the small community of EV users, the prospect of running out of juice and becoming stranded was very real.
