Revenge of the Electric Car

Andy Frank makes the observation that parallel hybrids (Toyota Prius) are cheaper than series hybrids (Chevy Volt). To date, the relatively high cost of batteries has kept electric and plug-in vehicles at the fringes of the auto industry. The onboard gas engine largely exists to recharge the batteries for the electric engine.

The Karma, a luxury four-passenger sedan, can be recharged by plugging it in; it can then be driven on power from a battery alone for 50 miles. After that, an onboard gasoline generator kicks on to recharge the battery, extending the range by 250 miles between fill-ups. It takes the Volt about 9 seconds.)

800-volt battery. To future-proof its DC fast charging, the Ioniq 5’s battery pack operates at 800 volts, rather than the 400 volts used for the last 20 years in both hybrids and EVs. Hyundai says a recharge from 10 percent to 80 percent will take just 18 minutes (under optimal circumstances). Electronic features galore.

Moreover, professional installation is non-negotiable due to the complexity and safety standards required, adding to the overall cost. It leverages the ubiquitous 120 Volts alternating current outlet, already available in most homes, thereby eliminating the need for any substantial electrical retrofit.

The rear-wheel drive KEB is propelled by a 250 watt electric motor producing a 45 N·m (33 lb-ft) of torque, and powered by a 36 volt, 10 amp lithium-ion polymer battery pack which is easily detached for recharging. The City model has a range of around 40 km (25 miles) on a single charge and a recharging time of four hours.

The basic equation governing the charging of batteries is W = V * A, or to put it into words, Watts equals Volts times Amps. If we wanted to recharge this from 110V domestic service we would need to pull 10,800,000/110 = 96,000 amps. Some industrial sites are even set up with 440V 3 phase service.
