Continuously variable transmission (CVT) improves efficiency and performance Smaller battery or greater range thanks to CVT More torque when towing and driving off-road Faster acceleration and higher maximum speeds Continuously variable shifting for optimum comfort and […]
Originally published on U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Due to their efficiency, plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs) reduce the amount of energy used by light-duty vehicles compared to their internal combustion engine counterparts. Estimates show that the […]
There is much discussion about the level of range needed for an electric vehicle to achieve longer journeys. The idea that an electric vehicle requires the same range as a liquid fuelled vehicle is arbitrary, and […]
