How Do EVs Compare To Gas Cars?

Wallbox

Keep in mind that repairing or replacing the motor of a fuel car can cost up to $10.000 and, all things considered, EVs simply require fewer visits to workshops and are much cheaper to own. However, the process of obtaining raw materials and manufacturing lithium-ion batteries does generate waste and harmful emissions.

BMW MINI E Powered by AC Propulsion?

Revenge of the Electric Car

The battery pack is comprised of 5,088 lithium-ion cells for a cummulative 35kWhrs of energy storage. The Tesla Roadster represents the evolution of AC Propulsion’s 12 year old tzero which in 2002 pioneered the use of lithium-ion batteries (6,800 cells) demonstrating 0-60mph acceleration times in the 3.6
