New battery technology means more power for electric vehicles
Tesla Motors’ Model S can go up to 480km, but it has a much larger battery and can cost more than twice as much as a Volt. Nissan’s Leaf and Ford’s Focus electric cars both claim ranges of around 160km, but that can vary with temperature, terrain and speed. Envia said earlier this year that … Continue reading New battery technology means more power for electric vehicles
