And it’s not just a minor saving we’re talking about – it’s a significant margin that puts traditional petrol vehicles in the rearview mirror once and for all! In direct comparison, filling up the tank of a petrol vehicle to the same level would set you back by an astonishing £46.40 – that’s 13.85p per mile!
This is further supported by the London Mayor, Boris Johnson, who has announced his plan to introduce 25,000 ‘juice points’ (charging stations), for electric cars throughout the city. David Martell, Chief Executive, ECC plc, added, “We believe this is the first serious alternative to a petrol or diesel car.
Then on the weekend there’s opportunity to load up the family and kit (careful not to exceed that 535kg) and enjoy off-roading with no need for petrol nor diesel. four-cylinder turbo petrol’s backed by an electric motor, delivering 300kW and 750Nm combined if there’s juice in the battery. seconds to 100km/h.
Instead of being diesel like virtually all its rivals, the Tank 500 is electrified via a petrol-electric hybrid powertrain. litre four-cylinder turbo-petrol engine tuned to run on the more efficient Miller cycle. The petrol engine can run on 91 RON unleaded, claims an 8.5L/100km It’s a combination of a 2.0-litre SCORE: 3.5/5
litre four-cylinder petrol as a generator to top up the battery once it runs flat. Spinning the rear wheels of the Leapmotor C10 REEV is a 158kW electric motor that is fed juice from a 28.4kWh battery. 2025 Leapmotor C10 REEV. 100km and emissions pegged at 21g/km respectively.
Understanding Fast Charging Fast charging, or DC fast charging, is a high-power, quick way to add juice to an EV battery. Like Fuel Stations – Like fueling a diesel tractor at a petrol pump, fast charging enables users to charge rapidly and get back on the road.
The government has already mandated ethanol blending in petrol. Currently, the ethanol blend in petrol is around 12%. Nearly 25% of ethanol used for blending originates from sugarcane juice and sugar syrup, while roughly 45% comes from B-heavy molasses, a byproduct of sugar processing rich in sugar content.
Rent a petrol or diesel car for your holidays. In many places, electric cars are cheaper to rent than equivalent petrol cars. And as Europcar says on its website: Save on Petrol! Imagine having to register with a Shell servo before it let you pump petrol. I rent a Vauxhall Astra with petrol engine.
He has not used his Petrol cars and only uses the Nexon EV. The next time he got adventurous and ventured a further 25 km, ending up with just 8% juice left in the battery. The upper limit for economy driving is 80 kmph, beyond which the juice really starts draining fast. He has been to Mangalore three times.
It takes about two hours to be juiced as much as complete. The corporate claims that the original promoting propositions (USPs) of the efficiency motorcycle come with higher efficiency in comparison to a 150cc petrol bike, new-age design and impish options. It makes use of a 4.4 kWh battery bind and an 8 kWh IPMSM motor.
We watch as the diesel trucks and utes refuel and head on their way, as do the family loads of petrol SUVs. After a bit of mucking around the charger fires up I quietly fist pump and it delivers juice to the EV5 at a rate of up to 119kW. What infrastructure shortage? Kia EV5 Snowy Drive. Charging at Avenel.
Petrol vehicles also saw a relative sales surge ahead of increased emissions taxes. PHEV’s relatively low share was not due to their fall in volume, rather that the volume of BEVs and petrol vehicles were much higher than usual. Petrol vehicle volumes were 4x to 5x recent seasonal norms.
The company, which offers short-term rentals of the all-electric Mega e-City from its base in Brixton, says that the petrol and diesel price hikes during the summer, and the government fuel duty increase in September, have made people look again at the cost of motoring by traditional means.
Buzz was easy to juice up with useful info provided on the center screen. Many Europeans I talked to weren’t fond of it, preferring older petrol-powered vans. Our van’s maximum charge was 290 miles (467 km) at 100% but its worst charge took just 200 miles (322 km). The brilliant display was easy to read and helpful.
Video: Electric Car Watch #1: Electric Car Disruption will destroy ICE Electric Car FUD The first thing I want to talk about is the constant FUD -- fear, uncertainty, and doubt -- regarding electric vehicles propagated by ICE car CEOs, the media, ICE-car-centric magazines and websites, and petrol heads. Imagine you have a petrol car.
Suzuki Burgman electric is a high-performance electric scooter that offers the power of a 125 cc petrol scooter. hours using an 11kW charger while a 50kW DC fast charger and can juice up from 0 to 80 per cent in just 35 minutes. With the help of the fast charger, it can be charged in 1 hr and the battery capacity is 4 kWh. lakh rupees.
Among liquid biofuels, ethanol is the most widely used for blending with petrol, while biodiesel and bio methanol are produced globally at a y lower scale. E10, which is a mixture of 10% ethanol and 90% petrol can be used in existing vehicles, without any need for modification. the GHG emissions are ~50% lower than that for petrol.
Overall auto market volume growth came on the back of sales growth of HEVs, BEVs, and Petrols. BEVs grew volume by 14.7%, and Petrols by 8.9%. There may be supply chain improvements compared to the past two years, which will help speed a backlog of long awaited orders through, juicing the volumes a bit compared to last year.
It was only around 15 years ago that EVs could barely travel 50 miles before running out of juice. This is in contrast to petrol and diesel cars, which will have progressively lower resale values as we move towards 2030 when new sales will be banned. No depreciation worries. Higher resale values mean lower monthly payments.
This is further supported by the London Mayor, Boris Johnson, who has announced his plan to introduce 25,000 ‘juice points’ (charging stations), for electric cars throughout the city. David Martell, Chief Executive, ECC plc, added, “We believe this is the first serious alternative to a petrol or diesel car.
seconds of overboost that pumps the total up to 475kW, making this the most powerful production Audi ever – petrol or electric. As it fills, speeds drop, but it was still sucking up juice at a rate of 119kW when 78 per cent full when we stopped for quick boost. Combined, they produce 440kW and 830Nm. second 0-100km/h time and a 11.1
We did not have the opportunity to assess laden performance or range and a brief 25-minute drive was not long enough to accurately assess how far one of these utes will travel before needing to re-juice – loaded, towing or otherwise. Ford claims a range of 510km, and by all accounts, this is a fairly accurate indication.
Day 4: Juicing Up Despite all my driving fun, I’m still returning just under Kia’s official consumption figure. That said, I stand by my belief I’d be happier with a comfier, rangier EV6 Air and then buy a fun petrol toy with the money saved. Opportunities galore. I mustn’t be trying hard enough.
It’s likely the new Electric Mobility Promotion Scheme (EMPS) will have the same effect down the line, given the wallet-friendly proposition of an e-two-wheeler compared to its petrol-engined sibling. This is a key EV industry growth factor, which has proven to be an enabler for the transition to e-mobility, both personal and commercial.
The only thing its petrol-burning ICE does is power a generator that supplies most of the juice that goes to the electric motor. All of these, in some way and with great frequency, blend ICE and electric motor outputs to turn the wheels. In contrast, e-Power uses only an electric motor to turn the wheels. Nothing else.
Electrification adds around 200kg over purely petrol Corvettes, the E-Ray weighing in at 1765kg. Another quirk of the hybrid system is that it doesnt disengage the petrol engine during coasting or deceleration, with little sense that any regenerative braking is in play.
With two Electric cars, at the time a Nissan Lean and Mitsubishi Outlander, we use a considerable amount of electricity but not much petrol, so already we were a reasonable way down the less CO2 road. Then as the sun sets in the West, hopefully the battery pack would have enough juice to power the house for the rest of the evening. .
We did not go in for mix mode because we wanted to find out what is the maximum juice that can be extracted out of the pack. Even petrol vehicles are prone to fires, even after a hundred years of engineering. (We use sum of actual km run and DTE displayed to get to the end value.) The average wh per km reported was 27.4.
Go to petrol pump owners and find out who are people who are big time consumers. It was a 10 course lunch and if my memory serves me right, this is what we had: Grape juice, Masala dosa, Wada, Bisellebela rice, Rasam rice, Sambar Rice, Curd Rice, Badam halwa, Sheera, Icecream with fruits and paan. 5,000 upwards.
Therefore, until we get quick-charge batteries -- based on new breakthroughs, Ill take a WAG and estimate that we will have real 5-minute quick-charge batteries in perhaps 10 years -- we are likely to get our juice mostly from our home chargers. No single vehicle does it all even in todays petrol world. When you need to haul.
Step away from them screens for a few hours and get your creative juices flowing! Or if you need your car have a read about some of the benefits of going electric: Did you know the cost of electricity required to charge an electric vehicle (EV) is around 40% less than the cost of petrol for driving a similar distance?
And if you have experienced the raw thrill of doing 100km/h in under five seconds in a petrol car, I’m afraid doing so via electric power just doesn’t get the juices flowing the same way. But it won’t blow your mind like a Tesla Model 3 Performance manages.
A simple, clean, efficient EV that wont run out of juice because of its on-board gas generator. Theyre not trying to send men to the moon, theyre building an ELECTRIC CAR that uses a petrol motor they already make charging batteries supplied by LG all bolted into a vehicle platform they also already have in production.
