Thankyou, I’m thinking of doing a few of them covering different aspects, the next one I hope to tackle is about the batteries, the BMS and why you don’t want to leave a BEV fully charged for too long yet you should charge it fully once a week if possible when you are using it. It will deal with the battery chemistry with a light humour rather than going technical.
Perhaps Ian will continue with his excellent take from the BMW i3 side too.
We know that BEVs won’t work for everyone right now, but if we all have an idea of why & what needs to improve, then we’ll have a better idea of what we need to prepare for in another 3 years.
Also we can tackle a few of the reasons why people shy away from going BEV, such as the fire risk… you know, batteries exploding, causing chaos…. when the reality is that a BEV is 6 times LESS likely to go on fire than a fossil vehicle.
