Revenge of the Electric Car

The acceleration was significantly better than my RAV, no doubt due to the Li-Ion battery pack weighing about 400-500 lbs less than the Toyota’s NiMH pack. I was very impressed with the ride. That’s 4 adults worth of mass, and as anyone who drives EVs will tell you, weight is something to be avoided.

This is probably because, unlike NiMH batteries, LiIon doesn’t like being fully depleted or fully charged. Anything more is wasted in my opinion. If you need a long distance car, you should be driving a plug-in hybrid. As for the 35 kWh pack, I was told only 28 kWh is usable.
