[QUOTE="Ded Driver, post: 572181, member: 12692"] When looking at the c/km running costs of an electric vehicle, the life-cycle cost of the battereis need to be factored in too, in the same way servicing is a running cost for petrol/diesel/lpg vehicles. When buying a 2nd hand electric vehicle it would be prudent to know the typical lifespan of the batteries in it, & factor in the remaining life & replacement cost to the asking price. Also, it occured to me that it might not be a good idea to do river crossings in an electric 4WD (coming soon apparently) after reading this extract; [i]"EV Battery Specs: Voltages and Capacities For example, a 400V nominal pack will often have around 96 series blocks (as in the Tesla Model 3). Common nominal pack voltages in current vehicles range from 100V-200V for hybrid/plug-in hybrid vehicles and 400V to 800V and higher for electric-only vehicles."[/i] . Around 400V & the sort of current that is available could potentially make cremated critters out of the occupants! :skull: Hopefully the manufacturers are going to take this into consideration.
