By reducing wind resistance and weight, the company’s engineers effectively are reducing the amount of work an electric engine will have to perform to get the car up to driving speeds, which in turn conserves battery power.&#. The car will go 30 miles on batteries before the gas engine kicks in and be street-legal.

Hydrogen produced by water electrolysis has the potential to be a useful means of storing excess electricity generated using wind, solar, and other intermittent renewable energy. This current technology would be more than twice as expensive as internal combustion engine systems. per gge (assuming widespread deployment).

While history is full of sharp left turns that took people by surprise, we still believe that electric vehicles are the future of the auto industry. In other words, the need for fuel — which cannot be avoided with traditional combustion engines — spells doom for non-electric vehicles. The future, indeed, seems electric.

Performance-wise, it’s a head-turner as well, powered by a single motor which will generate 390kW of pure e-power (around 530 horsepower), keeping it on a par with one BMW’s V8 combustion engines. Both won prestigious awards and added impetus to the public’s perception that e-mobility is where the auto industry is headed.
