UK Studies Suggest New Business Models and Policies Required for EV and PHEV Uptake; Price a Critical Issue

Green Car Congress

This is somewhat at odds with the “urban city car model” of electric vehicle adoption, where both parking availability and car ownership is lower. Battery technology is unlikely to deliver this very high, single charge range in an affordable vehicle. This is based on an average grid CO 2 intensity of around 0.14 Utilization.

It charges the battery in “battery charge” mode; in “battery hold” it saves the available electric energy for a later time. This makes it possible for the waste heat from the electrical drive components to be made available to the interior of the Q7 e-tron quattro. It heats and cools the interior quickly and effectively.
