When coasting to a halt at a red light, the engine in the new Audi A8 shuts down at 22 km/h (14 mph)—much earlier than with a conventional stop-start system. At the same time, the 48 volt board net makes it possible to provide four times as much electrical power at short notice, at the same current.

The magnets—and thus the rotor—follow the rotating alternating current field in the stator windings. The motor on the rear axle is particularly powerful due to its six-phase design: it has two windings with three phases each. This even occurs until they come to a standstill, for example at traffic lights.

87 mph, when the maximum speed of the electric motor would be reached at approx. The basis for the high performance of the AMG 400-volt battery is the innovative direct cooling: For the first time, the 560 cells are cooled individually; they are thus permanently surrounded by a high-tech coolant based on an electrically non-conductive liquid.

The top speed of both all-wheel-drive models is 260 km/h (162 mph). The Taycan is the first production vehicle with a system voltage of 800 volts instead of the usual 400 volts for electric cars. The electric motors: synchronous motors with hairpin winding. This increases power output and torque for the same volume.

With the rear seat folded flat, there is 10 feet of additional storage length, enough to handle a kayak, surfboard or SUP Walk-up and walk-away lighting sequences on the front and rear 10.2 The Silverado EV drove smooth, but there was noticeable wind noise from the outside mirrors to the point we checked if all the windows were up.

The Ford F-150 Lightning isn’t a replacement for any of the existing F-150s, it is a new family member with a smoother, more aerodynamic body and a new front fascia, lighting and wheels. The interior is serene with a 70-mph sound measurement of 65 dB, which is in Rolls Royce territory. Luckily top speed is limited to 120 mph.
