Here I took advantage of already owning an electric lawnmower, figuring that the 40-volt, 4-ampere-hour battery I had for it would serve well. So I poured on the juice and blew past him, thereafter maintaining Tour de France speed. The third essential element of any e-bike is, of course, the battery. OK boomer," indeed.

liter turbocharged four-cylinder that works in concert with two electric motors and a 400-volt battery pack, plus an eight-speed automatic transmission.

Plug-in vehicle sales are indeed increasing, with the LEAF and Volt each selling about 2500 units in June 2013.

Providing a conventional 120V outlet is cheap and familiar.
