However, the performance of an EV relies heavily on its battery, which is susceptible to degradation over time. The EV 80% rule refers to designing the battery capacity of electric vehicles to be around 80% of its maximum capacity to achieve optimal performance and lifespan.

A 92-kilowatt-hour battery and a 130-kilowatt generator combine to bring the juice. Ram is touting a total system horsepower of 663 with 615 lb-ft of torque and a range of 690 miles.

A 116-kWh lithium-ion battery provides the juice but Merc isn’t yet spilling any tea about expected driving range on a full charge. The EQS 580 SUV, which the wind likely thinks is more aerodynamic, has a battery pack of roughly the same capacity and a suggested range of about 330 miles. Will the G crest three hundred?

Some automakers keep trying to soothe it with ever-larger and heavier battery packs, so that consumers can go farther between charges. And battery bulk alone, especially in monstrously powerful trucks, can be a short route to a relatively inefficient and prohibitively expensive EV.

And since even the speediest DC chargers take roughly 30 minutes to juice up an EV, drivers and passengers have time to kill, including enough time for a bite. The company hasn’t cited exact numbers of how many DC chargers it hopes to open, but 7-Eleven operates about 9,400 stores in the United States, and nearly 600 more in Canada.
