In doing so the power electronics convert the direct current (DC) stored in the battery into alternating current (AC) and use this to drive the motor. The power electronics module is connected to the e-motor via the sort of yellow-and-orange 3-phase cable typical for electric vehicles. The range of the e-up!

And in a true smart grid, electric cars will not only be able to draw on electricity to run their motors, they will also be able to do the reverse: send electricity stored in their batteries back into the grid when it is needed. In effect, cars would be acting like tiny power stations. While utilities such as E.ON
