Spirit of DC - PHEV3A

JANUARY 30, 2009

Cheers PHEV3A'rs, EVADC'rs, and EVnthusiasts, One & All - On Friday afternoon, 30 January 2009, the "Spirit of DC" was operationally in excellent order and happy to be back on the road, trucking from Petaluma via the Bodega Road to the US Coast Guard Training Center and onto Pacific Coast Highway 1 (PCH 1) on into San Francisco on Hwy 101.

You’re a smart little SUV. The e-2008 has a range of only 328km, its single motor offers just 100kW/260Nm, has 100kW maximum charging, and the rear seat and boot space are sized better for a retired couple than our family of four. Day 3 – Home charging 2024 Peugeot e-2008 GT. Most competition is stronger on paper.

Toyota’s debut EV is firmly middle-of-the-road in terms of price, size, range, performance, charge speed and features. A better-equipped all-wheel-drive’s $74,900 plus charges, so you’re looking at around $70,000 and $79,000 respectively to drive-away. Perhaps predictably, the BZ4X is pragmatism personified.

Whether you’re buying a Tesla Model Y , Hyundai Ioniq 5 , Kia EV6 or MG ZS EV , one of the first questions most people have regards the length of the driving range. So just how far can you travel between charges? We’ve chosen the rangiest model available in the line-up, including those where a larger battery is available.

Whereas the original Niro was available as a regular hybrid , a plug-in hybrid (PHEV) and a battery electric vehicle (EV), the new model does without the PHEV option. However, the high voltage battery warranty is capped at 150,000km, which is slightly less than most other electric cars. Kia Niro EV GT-Line serves up decent cabin space.

Okay, 97 per cent battery life and 387km range. It’s mind-blowing, if not quite in the re-wire brain territory of the Porsche Taycan Turbo S. If you want to keep the tyre mobility kit and power cable bags in the boot, this also eats into space. Importantly, I’m back to 100% charge and 376km range. Looks expensive.

One oversight is the warranty, which is an undernourished four years or 80,000km (double that for the high voltage battery). Our car also had a bigger battery, which adds $5000. The $6000 Plus pack brings a panoramic sunroof, full power operation of the front seats, heated rear seats and wireless phone charging.

The two share the same electrical architecture and the same batteries and drivetrains. There are also aftermarket companies (such as EV Stealth Solutions) working on a tow kit for the Model Y. Each car was a 2022 Rear-Wheel Drive with less than 500km on the odo, so in both instances the batteries were basically brand new.

Range is 470km (WLTP) thanks to its 77.4kW battery. The charge port door also electrically rises with a gentle tap, while the GV60 can self-park using the smartkey. There’s a household socket under the rear seats (I plugged the Nespresso machine in here), and another on the charge cable, ideal for things like an electric bike.

A sweetener from the get-go are six years of free public charging (Chargefox), six years scheduled servicing and six years roadside assist. Standard kit is generous. For the same money the wagon with Launch Edition kit looks the pick. A monster of a battery, that’s what. What is charging like for the Audi Q8 55 e-tron?

The cheapest 2024 Polestar 2 available is a Standard Range Single Motor – with 200kW/490Nm, 69kWh battery and 546km range – costing $67,400 plus on-roads, before any incentives. Boon for buyers of the new RWD Long Range is its larger battery can charge up to 205kW rather than the entry-level’s 135kW.

Finally, in a first-of-its-kind partnership in the United States, Mitsubishi announced a strategic alliance with Oregon to develop an electric car charging infrastructure in the state. So imagine a million electric cars on US roads which all need to change these batteries in say 2015. In the U.S. In the U.S.

The four-door sedan will deliver 40 miles on a charge; a small gasoline engine will recharge the battery as it approaches depletion, extending its range by as much as 200 miles. Posted by: canderson | Apr 13, 2009 5:02:50 PM The EV1 gave drivers 80 miles on a charge. The car is expected to cost around $40,000. Thats right.
