This landmark achievement of 5.0 miles per kWh on an EPA cycle has been made possible by an extraordinary effort from our powertrain and efficiency teams. I want to extend my thanks to every one of our employees for pushing the boundaries with yet another step towards a more sustainable future!   Lucid’s mission is to advance the state of the art of EVs, to transport more people more miles with less energy using less of the earth’s precious resources. This will result in less environmental impact and is also the key to paving the way for more affordable EVs.   To put 5.0 miles per kWh into perspective, it’s interesting to draw a comparison between the Lucid Air Pure and the more attainable versions of its competitor set, namely the Porsche Taycan, the Tesla Model S and the Mercedes EQS. These three vehicles collectively average an efficiency of approximately 3.33 miles per kWh, based upon published EPA range and publicly available battery capacities, compared with Lucid Air Pure’s 5.0.    Doing some quick math, this means that with a similar capacity battery pack, the Lucid Air Pure would theoretically be capable of a range approximately 50% further than the average of these three competitors. However, taking the converse approach is where things get really exciting – Air Pure would be theoretically capable of a similar range to the average of the competitor set but with just 2/3 the battery pack capacity. Not all EVs are born equal.    #technology #electricvehicle #evs #lucidmotors #efficiency #innovation 

Efficiency is the future! Less energy required! Evs are approx 90% efficient while gas powered vehicles are around 30% or so

Dealers can't do this, how does Tesla get away with "gas savings" factored into "Payment." Lease Starting at $216 per Month* Enhanced aerodynamics, optimal daily range, all-new interior. Lease upgraded Model 3 Rear-Wheel Drive starting at $216 per month* after estimated gas savings or finance with 1.99% APR for 36 months or 2.99% for 60 months when you order by June 16, 2024.** Now buried in the fine print... Monthly lease price of $299 before estimated gas savings of $3,000 over 3 years. #Tesla #ElectricVehicles #Sustainability #Innovation #Automotive

**** Toyota CEO: This New Water Powered Engine Will Destroy the Entire EV Industry! **** If you have a chemical background, will probably wonder how the toyota car will work as it takes a lot of energy to seperate H2 from O2, electrically, then use the H2 to burn in an engine or Feul Cell. But modern developments in Catalysts have reduced the energy needed to seperate the chemical bonds...that is the secret. #internalcombustion #enginetechnology #innovation https://lnkd.in/d-yDqN9r

Electric vehicle charger hits half a megawatt: Called UFC500, it uses silicon carbide power transistors and charges two smaller vehicles simultaneously at up to 250kW each, or one vehicle at 460kW. The exterior design meets IP55 and IK10, and cables are top-mounted to reduce the changes of damage, on a … #car #cars #awesome

Electric vehicles have a variety of changes in how they are manufactured compared to traditional internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles. An electric motor is the most obvious of those changes but there's other parts that vary from their ICE counterparts. One of those differences are tires, EVs need different tires to optimize their performance. They are designed to handle added weight, provide efficient energy transfer to extend battery life, offer strong traction for quick acceleration, reduce road noise for a quieter ride, and improve aerodynamics to enhance range. CNBC takes a look at how EV innovation is impacting the tire industry as they look to improve design to meet the various considerations of EV performance and safety. #ElectricVehicles #EVTires #FleetVehicles #Motorlease #FleetManagement #WhatEverItTakes

I already know what some people reading this will tell me. They’ll say it’s all the fault of lazy dealers, or blinkered “legacy” brands, or even those pesky customers and their stubbornness! Here’s the rub though. You either bring people along for the EV journey by holding their hand, or you force them to change to hit a CO2 target. I would suggest lecturing, ridiculing and condescending to people is the least effective course of action one can take. The second-least is to pigeonhole one-self into a singular solution to a complex problem. Yet I see both approaches on the daily. I would instead urge regulators and the automotive industry to listen to consumers and to the sales people at the coalface, rather than talking 'at' them. The very notion that this could be a controversial position is amazing to me, but that's the reality. Putting a V8 diehard into a hybrid on the steady march towards an EV is a victory, not a failure. To talk down to people successfully, one must first have earned their vantage point. #EV #EVs #electriccars #Phevs #hybrids

Guess, which one has more power? Yes, you can to argue there’s missing big battery for Tesla. But for ICE there is missing a transmission, a fuel system, cooling system… A typical internal combustion engine has around 200 parts that need to be maintained and possibly replaced if they wear out. An electric vehicle takes that number down to around 20 parts. But what is more interesting, the drivetrain in an ICE vehicle contains 2,000+ moving parts typically, whereas the drivetrain in an EV contains around 20. What do you think? Write me in comments.

This is electric VW from 1985. It was a second generation and it was called Golf II CitySTROMer. Until 1991 they produced 70 of this EVs. The vehicles are initially reserved for well-known energy producers for testing purposes. Including the lead batteries, the curb weight is an impressive 1,410 kilograms. The short-term output of the electric motor is 23 kW (31 hp), and 17.5 kW (24 hp) is available permanently. Allow eight to ten hours to fully charge the drive batteries via the 220-volt network. In order to conserve capacity, the heating is powered by diesel. CitySTROMer could to accelerate to 50 km/h in 13 seconds and the top speed is 100 km/h. What do you say on it? Write me in a comment.
