Hyundai

Hyundai Ioniq 5 is the Korean carmaker’s first ever fully dedicated battery electric car. It is built on a unique platform, e-GMP (Electric Global Modular Platform) developed by Hyundai and Kia together.
Compared to <a href="https://www.licarco.com/2021-tesla-model-3-performance/">Tesla Model 3</a> and <a href="https://www.licarco.com/polestar-2-long-range-dual-motor/">Polestar 2</a>, Ioniq 5 looks like a boxy hatchback, Hyundai calls it a crossover. Fastest Ioniq 5 can go from 0 to 100 km/h in 5.2 seconds. It has a moveable center console on the inside, safety features like blindspot indicator, lane keeping, and remote parking capabilities.
<h2>Ioniq 5 Performance</h2>
Ioniq 5 has two battery pack options, Standard Range version offers 58 kWh capacity, whereas Long Range models will be equipped with a 77.4 kWh battery. Hyundai also offers two drivetrains for both of these battery options. RWD has a single electric motor and up to 217 horsepower. Those who wants to get more power will choose the AWD option for dual motors and up to 306 HP. It can tow a caravan up to 1,600 kilos of weight.
The stalk behind the steering wheel allows driver to easily change gear, put the vehicle on parking mode etc. Ioniq 5’s smooth driving experience will improve with very clever blindspot indicator feature. Whenever you put an indicator on, cameras from the each side of the vehicle will show you the blindspots, making Ioniq 5 much more safer to drive. There’s also a head-up display (HUD) that includes the vehicle’s speed, navigation etc.
<h2>Ioniq 5 Design and Features</h2>
In terms of appearance, Hyundai Ioniq 5 looks like a hatchback, but it’s actually a crossover, or an all-electric CUV. When Hyundai designed the new Ioniq 5, they took a lot of inspiration from the first vehicle they actually manufactured. It is the Hyundai Pony from the 1980s. It has got a very interest retro design, standing out from the crowd with its boxy shape. The headlights and taillights which use square shaped LEDs are also retro styled.
In profile, Ioniq 5 has an enormous wheelbase of over three meters, longer than a Range Rover Sport, which give this electric Hyundai plenty of space inside.
On the front of the vehicle, there is a little frunk, enough for a few grocery bags or a backpack, not even close to the capacity Teslas and <a href="https://www.licarco.com/ford-mustang-mach-e-gt/">Ford Mustang Mach-E</a> offer.
The interior of the new Hyundai Ioniq 5 is as unique as its exterior design. Modular design allows Hyundai to equip its new vehicle with two 12 inch displays, one for the full-touch infotainment system, and the other acting as a digital gauge cluster. Thanks to its long wheelbase and flat floor, Ioniq 5’s center console can slide back almost 15 centimeters, creating a spacious car experience for the driver and passengers.
The Ioniq 5 got five USB ports, a 220V outlet for any tools and gadgets you want to power, a glove draw instead of a traditional glovebox, seats that can be almost fully recline, Bose sound system etc.
<h2>Ioniq 5 Range and Charging</h2>
Ioniq 5 has the fastest charging technology in its segment. There are two charging systems, 400 volt and 800 volt electrical arcitectures available for the Ioniq 5. With the highest setup, all-electric CUV can be charged with 350 kW DC plugs, from 10 to 80 percent in roughly 18 minutes.
There is also the V2L (Vehicle to Load) feature that turn Ioniq 5 into a power source for your electronic devices, and simple tools that can be powered via a simple outlet. It allows a charging speed up to 3.6 kW. It is even possible to charge another electric vehicle with Hyundai Ioniq 5.

Tesla

Regenerative braking technology is a bliss for the efficiency of <a href="https://www.licarco.com/cars">all-electric vehicles</a>. But it takes time to get used to this helpful feature. Sometimes it gets annoying or makes no sense on some occasions. There is an option to turn it off, but things get complicated with <a href="https://www.licarco.com/news/how-many-tesla-cars-have-been-sold">Tesla vehicles</a>. Let us explain.
If you want to turn off regenerative braking on your Tesla, you probably won&#8217;t find any disabling option in the menu. Because turning off regenerative braking is not possible on a Tesla. It is also impossible to adjust the regen on Tesla vehicles built since Q2 2020. Tesla Model S/3/X/Y vehicles built before that date can still be able to offer adjustments. You just need to navigate through the main screen and go to Driving, then change the &#8216;Regenerative Braking&#8217; to &#8216;Low&#8217; for reducing the level of regenerative braking.
Newer Tesla vehicles come with standard level regen as default. There is no &#8216;Regenerative Braking&#8217; adjustment option anymore. So, why wouldn&#8217;t Tesla allow its drivers to adjust regenerative braking? The main reason is that the vehicle range is heavily affected by not being able to recuperate the energy you otherwise lost to heat, etc by pressing the brake pedal. Other automakers agree with Tesla as well. According to <a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://electrek.co/2018/08/08/audi-e-tron-quattro-electric-suv-range-regen-braking/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Audi</a>, regenerative braking can extend the range by up to 30% on average. Soon, every new electric vehicle on the market will probably remove the option to adjust regenerative braking for the sake of efficiency.
<h2>How to Adjust Regenerative Braking on Tesla Model Y/3 and Model S/X?</h2>
<img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-32384" src="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Tesla-regen-braking-options-e1603823866425-1024x576.webp" alt="" width="750" height="422" srcset="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Tesla-regen-braking-options-e1603823866425-1024x576.webp 1024w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Tesla-regen-braking-options-e1603823866425-300x169.webp 300w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Tesla-regen-braking-options-e1603823866425-768x432.webp 768w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Tesla-regen-braking-options-e1603823866425.webp 1088w" sizes="(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px" />
If you drive a Tesla vehicle built before Q2 2022, your car&#8217;s main screen comes with an option to adjust regenerative braking. You just need to go to settings, then select the &#8216;Driving&#8217; menu from the left and change the &#8216;Regenerative Braking&#8217; option to &#8216;Low&#8217; for partially turning off the regen.
You won&#8217;t be able to turn off this feature. There is, however, a way to heavily limit the effects of regen braking. Here&#8217;s how:
<h3>Why Does Regenerative Braking Limited on My Tesla?</h3>
If you live in a cold area or your battery is fully charged, your Tesla vehicle would warn you about the regenerative braking is being limited. That&#8217;s because the battery is unable to receive the energy from the regen system and the battery&#8217;s management system temporarily turns off the regenerative braking feature. It might take up to half an hour for your vehicle to recover from that. In order to reduce the negative effects of this limitation, you can enable an extra feature for automatically applying the brake pedals instead of regen braking. Just go to Controls &gt; Pedals &amp; Steering, then turn on the &#8216;Apply Brakes When Regenerative Braking is Limited&#8217; option.
<h3>Does Regenerative Braking Work on Icy/Snowy Roads?</h3>
Not being able to turn off regenerative braking might sound dangerous on icy/snowy roads, but Tesla has a solution for this. In 2022, Tesla adjusted the traction control software of its vehicles and added a hidden snow mode. Its main function is to better handle regen braking adjustments on icy roads and snow. Take a look at the video down below for more detail.

How to Turn Off Regenerative Braking on a Tesla?

Tesla vehicles are famous for their in-car entertainment experience. There are a bunch of games available for drivers to enjoy while charging their vehicles or spending some time inside the car. You can even use a game controller for better experience. A couple of games will also require you to connect a controller to play.
In this article, we created a guide to help you easily connect your Xbox controller to your Tesla Model 3/Y.
<h2>A Complete Guide to Connecting an Xbox Controller to Tesla Model 3/Y</h2>
If you want to play games with an Xbox controller on your Tesla, use a data cable (not a charge-only USB cable that lacks the data transfer function) to plug your controller into your Tesla Model 3/Y&#8217;s main screen via the USB-C ports in the center console or the USB-A port in the glove box. If you prefer a wireless connection, or your controller cannot be connected to your Tesla via cable, just follow our guide down below.
Step 1. Buy a wireless adapter/dongle for pairing your Xbox controller. <a href="https://amzn.to/3HCaTTv">8Bitdo Wireless USB Adapter 2</a> and <a href="https://amzn.to/3jyyigK">MAYFLASH Magic NS 2</a> are two of the most popular choices.
Step 2. Plug the wireless adapter into your Tesla via USB data ports. Use a USB-A to USB-C adapter if necessary. Please be aware that newer Model 3/Y vehicles don&#8217;t have USB data ports in the center console. You will need to use the USB-A port inside the glove compartment.
Step 3. Put your wireless adapter into pairing mode. 8Bitdo&#8217;s pairing button is on the bottom, whereas the Magic NS&#8217;s pairing mode can be activated by pressing the black button on the side until the light goes green and blinks fast.

Step 4. In order to put your controller into pairing mode, first press the Xbox button for one second until it lights up. Then, press and hold the circular pair button located on the back of the controller for three seconds.
Step 5. Once the wireless adapter and Xbox controller ared paired up, the lights on both of these devices will stop blinking. You will see a notification message on your Tesla&#8217;s screen that confirms the pairing.
Enjoy your games!
<h3>My Tesla says the Xbox controller is disconnected. How can I fix it?</h3>
Your wireless adapter might lose the connection between your Tesla and the Xbox controller. You just need to unplug the adapter and plug it into the car again. The controller will be paired with your car in a few seconds. If you experience this issue often, you might need to contact your seller and ask about the wireless adapter&#8217;s firmware update status. Sometimes a small update could fix these disconnection problems.
<h3>Can I connect all Xbox controllers to my Tesla?</h3>
There are numerous reports on people using Xbox 360, Xbox One, Xbox Series S, and Series X controllers both wirelessly and wired to play games on their Teslas. But some of these controllers are not supported by all wireless dongles on the market. You need to thoroughly research before buying an adapter.

Top 15 EV Charging Networks in the US (Updated on Jan. 2023)

<a href="https://www.licarco.com/cars">Electric vehicles</a> are getting really popular, but the main concerns, such as short range and long charging times that hold conventional vehicle owners back from switching sides are still yet to be solved. That is where higher-voltage electric vehicles are coming into play. Tesla recently announced its 1000-volt system and hinted more Tesla vehicles will benefit from the new tech. Future EVs will eventually make the switch from 400V to higher voltage systems.
800V or higher voltage electric vehicles are capable of delivering <a href="https://www.licarco.com/news/top-15-ev-charging-networks-in-the-us">ultra-fast charging</a> rates and offer higher performance while improving the efficiency of the all systems. 800V electric vehicles can only be possible by employing an 800V battery and using SiC (Silicone Carbide) inverter, proper cabling, OBC (On-board Charger), DCDC converter and other electrical equipments that support higher voltage levels. Conventional electric vehicles come with 400V electrical architecture as standard. Because of the voltage limit, today&#8217;s electric vehicles are limited to a maximum of 400-volt when they are connected to a DC charging station. In order to reach higher charge rates, current levels should go up to 600A or even more, which is not ideal for the infrastructure that charging stations heavily rely on.
The first higher-voltage EV is the Porsche Taycan, which has a cutting-edge 800V inverter built-in. Its DC charging rate can go as high as 270 kW with the proper charging setup. After that Hyundai and Kia developed an alternative 800V charging tech to avoid using an expensive 800V SiC inverter. In late 2021, Lucid Motors launched its first vehicle Lucid Air with an industry-leading 924V system developed by <a href="https://eepower.com/news/wolfspeed-announces-the-lucid-air-is-using-its-sic-power-modules/#">Wolfspeed</a>. And one year later, Tesla unveiled its first 1000V vehicle architecture with the launch of the tri-motor electric truck Tesla Semi. <a href="https://spectrum.ieee.org/ev-charging-800-volt">General Motors</a>, Volkswagen, and, of course, Chinese brands such as Aion, Avatr, Xpeng, Zeekr, BYD, Voyah and Li Auto have also been developing 800V high-voltage electrical systems for their EVs.
In this article, we researched our way into higher voltage electric vehicles and created a list of benefits of owning an 800V EV.
<h2>Faster Charging Compared to 400V Electric Vehicles</h2>
<img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-32268" src="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/ionity-ultra-fast-charging-stations-1024x683.jpg" alt="" width="750" height="500" srcset="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/ionity-ultra-fast-charging-stations-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/ionity-ultra-fast-charging-stations-300x200.jpg 300w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/ionity-ultra-fast-charging-stations-768x512.jpg 768w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/ionity-ultra-fast-charging-stations-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/ionity-ultra-fast-charging-stations-1568x1045.jpg 1568w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/ionity-ultra-fast-charging-stations.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px" />
800V or higher voltage systems allow electric vehicles to be charged at as high as 480 kW, <a href="https://www.licarco.com/xpeng-g9-awd">Xpeng G9</a> proved. Regular 400V electric vehicles aren&#8217;t capable of doing that, because of the charging infrastructure&#8217;s current limit. When you plug your 400V vehicle into a DC charger, you limit your session to 400-volt. To provide faster charging speeds, EV charger should deliver more current, sometimes as high as 600A or even more (The third-gen Tesla Superchargers can deliver up to 660-amper). In order to increase the current, thicker and water-cooled cables are needed. Even using these expensive cables are not enough to lower down the charge efficiency, as conduction losses will increase up to nine times.
EV manufacturers have been developing 800V charging technologies to overcome this fast-charging problem. Some companies such as Porsche/Audi, Lucid Motors, and Xpeng use SiC inverters inside their EVs. These next-gen SiC inverters can handle higher voltages and also improve efficiency. Hyundai and Kia took a different approach to this matter. Korean automakers developed a technology that manages to provide 800-volt charging by using electric motors as generator and a regular IGBT inverter.
Thanks to more advanced electronics, 800-volt charging enables vehicle owners to reach up to 480 kW DC charging rates. For instance, Xpeng G9 and Aion LX Plus are already on sale that support ultra-fast 480+ kW charging. Lucid Air can go as high as 300 kW. Porsche Taycan did perform similiarly. Hyundai Ioniq 5 and Kia EV6 is also capable of delivering up to 240 kW DC charging speeds. 800V charging is definitely the future of EVs!
<h3>More Efficient &amp; More Powerful Electric Drivetrains</h3>
<img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-32291" src="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/lucid-motorsports-edu-tech-1024x696.jpg" alt="" width="750" height="510" srcset="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/lucid-motorsports-edu-tech-1024x696.jpg 1024w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/lucid-motorsports-edu-tech-300x204.jpg 300w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/lucid-motorsports-edu-tech-768x522.jpg 768w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/lucid-motorsports-edu-tech-1536x1044.jpg 1536w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/lucid-motorsports-edu-tech-1568x1066.jpg 1568w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/lucid-motorsports-edu-tech.jpg 1938w" sizes="(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px" />
By switching to a 800V architecture, EV manufacturers can make use of higher voltage motors as well. Porsche is the first company to implement an 800V electric motor into its vehicles. Higher voltage improves overall power density of the motor unit and it reduces the maximum torque required to achieve the same output power due to extended RPM range.
As the DC link voltage of the EV motor units increase, the current levels decrease. This leads to lower copper loss and improves efficiency of the electrical traction systems. Higher voltage motors are also tend to produce more power than lower voltage solutions.
From the efficiency perspective, the next-gen SiC inverters used inside 800V electric vehicles are also much more efficient. <a href="https://www.licarco.com/byd-yangwang-u8">BYD recently unveiled</a> its first SiC inverter developed in-house, which scores an efficiency level of 99.5 percent.
<h3>800V Architectures Mean Lighter Electric Cars</h3>
<img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="alignnone wp-image-32293 size-large" src="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/electric-vehicle-cabling-hybrid-drivetrain-1024x683.jpg" alt="" width="750" height="500" srcset="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/electric-vehicle-cabling-hybrid-drivetrain-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/electric-vehicle-cabling-hybrid-drivetrain-300x200.jpg 300w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/electric-vehicle-cabling-hybrid-drivetrain-768x512.jpg 768w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/electric-vehicle-cabling-hybrid-drivetrain-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/electric-vehicle-cabling-hybrid-drivetrain-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/electric-vehicle-cabling-hybrid-drivetrain-1568x1045.jpg 1568w" sizes="(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px" />
800-volt electrical architectures can be created by using thinner cables between the battery pack and the inverter, DC charging port, OBC, and other equipments. As a result, 800V electric vehicles will use less copper and that would reduce the overall weight of the car.
Higher voltage electric motors are also significantly lighter and more power-dense than regular lower voltage units. That means 800V electric vehicles can be equipped with smaller, lighter motors. That creates more room for batteries as well.
<h3>Reduced Cost of Cabling, Less Copper Used Inside the Vehicle</h3>
Electric vehicles use more copper than any other vehicles. It takes 2 to 4 times more copper to build an EV than an ICE vehicle. But unlike 400V EVs, higher voltage systems don&#8217;t require thick copper cables. That will not only help manufacturers reduce the cost of cabling but also ease up the global copper supply chain. Because EV batteries and heavy investments in EV charging infrastructure have already been causing problems for the copper industry, thinner cables will help in the near future.
Here are some disadvantages of choosing 800V electrical system over a regular 400V architecture:
&#8211; Higher cost of electrical insulation and clearance
&#8211; Higher voltage battery packs tend to perform less reliable than 400V systems, because they contain larger number of series connections. The impact of single cell failure in a pack like this would be much higher than the 400V batteries with more parallel cells.
&#8211; Lower voltage battery packs are more energy-dense than the similiarly designed 800V batteries, which is the result of all the additional electrical clearance requirements around high voltage systems and the much larger BMS.

Volvo

Volvo, a Geely-owned Swedish carmaker wants to offer solely electric vehicles by 2030. It promises to release one new battery-powered model per year, starting this year to meet that objective. Volvo&#8217;s mystery SUV will be an electric subcompact vehicle rumored to named as EX30.
<img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="aligncenter wp-image-30078 size-large" src="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/volvo-concept-recharge-front-view-1024x576.jpeg" alt="" width="750" height="422" srcset="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/volvo-concept-recharge-front-view-1024x576.jpeg 1024w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/volvo-concept-recharge-front-view-300x169.jpeg 300w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/volvo-concept-recharge-front-view-768x432.jpeg 768w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/volvo-concept-recharge-front-view.jpeg 1280w" sizes="(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px" />
The EX30, according to Rowan, will enter production in China in 2023. It will play a significant role in helping Volvo reach its 2025 goal of selling 1.2 million vehicles annually. Due to manufacturing difficulties in China, Volvo sold 698,693 vehicles in 2021 and it seems to sell slightly less this year.
<h2>Volvo EX30 Ready for Sale in 2023</h2>
Late in 2023, buyers should be able to purchase the EX30. It will be built on the Sustainable Experience Architecture (SEA) electric vehicle platform developed by Geely, which is also the foundation for the new <a href="https://www.licarco.com/smart-1">Smart #1</a> that was unveiled last spring. That vehicle measures 168 inches/4.27 m in length, 72 inches/1.8 m in width, and 64.4 inches/1.64 m in height.

Another compact electric SUV from the Swedish brand: <a href="https://www.licarco.com/volvo-c40-recharge">Volvo C40</a>
The Smart #1 features a single 272 hp (200 kW) motor, a 66 kWh battery, and a WLTP range of 273 miles/440 km. Its starting price of €41,490 may serve as a guide for the pricing of the EX30, which Volvo anticipates to be its best-selling vehicle in a few years.
<h2>Volvo Focusing on More Young Customer</h2>
The average age of Volvo customers is likely to decrease by 10 years, according to various news sources. However, Rowan worries that it will be too expensive for younger customers. Therefore, Volvo wants to offer it mostly through a subscription for a monthly price. Rowan asserts that using the subscription model makes it easier to attract younger customers.
Electrive claims that Volvo has ruled out battery changing as a strategy to keep pricing affordable for younger customers. This might be due to the battery pack becoming a structural component of the automobile for additional safety.
Volvo will offer a variety of batteries in the EX30, according to Rowan, &#8220;so a client may pick the range that best matches their lifestyle as well as their budget.&#8221; He went on to say that Gen Z customers &#8220;continue to seek top safety equipment, a terrific ride, and excellent quality.&#8221;

EX30 Subcompact Electric SUV Confirmed by Volvo for 2023

Efficiency is key to designing a successful electric vehicle. And Tesla is acing it! Model Y and Model 3 are two of the most efficient vehicles on the market. It&#8217;s all thanks to Tesla&#8217;s advanced manufacturing technologies such as large die-casting machines used for the production of the chassis. To better understand Tesla&#8217;s weight advantage, we created a curb and gross weight information list for Tesla Model Y, Model 3, Model S, Model X, and Tesla Semi.
Tesla Model 3 is the most lightweight Tesla model available today. The RWD version of the electric sedan only weighs 3,880 lbs. In comparison, similarly sized Polestar 2&#8217;s curb weight is 4,680 lbs, way more than Tesla&#8217;s sedan.
Let&#8217;s take a look at the highly-popular Tesla Model Y. United States&#8217; best-selling electric SUV weighs only 4,381 lbs. Ford&#8217;s <a href="https://www.licarco.com/ford-mustang-mach-e-rwd-standard-range">Mustang Mach-E</a> is not even close. Its lightest version weighs around 4,498 lbs.

Zeekr

A relatively recent and popular electric vehicle company from China, Zeekr, is keeping track of NIO and XPeng. As a premium electric car brand, it was established in March 2021 by Geely, one of the biggest automotive corporations in China. Beginning in the fourth quarter of the previous year, 2021, deliveries were relatively stable for a few quarters. But during the previous few months, Zeekr&#8217;s sales have increased rather significantly. It increased from about 5,000 in July to over 10,000 in October.

<h2>Zeekr Has the Best Recent Performance</h2>
Zeekr&#8217;s sales performance in China is encouraging as it prepares to expand into the European market. In 2023, the luxury electric car brand will start selling in Europe. That was always the intention, and as a relative of Polestar, Lynk &amp; Co., and Volvo Cars, it ought to have reasonable access points into Europe. Nevertheless, closely imitating Chinese EV automakers NIO, XPeng, and BYD, which have just recently begun sales in Europe.

EPA published a list of electric cars that scored the highest MPGe, which is the MPG equivalent of the EV world. Hyundai IONIQ 6 is the most efficient electric car, according to EPA. Electric sedan&#8217;s RWD Long Range version scored a 140 MPGe. The second most efficient model is the 2022&#8217;s champion, Tesla Model 3. Popular sedan&#8217;s RWD variant got an MPGe score of 132. The third most efficient electric car is also an American-made: Lucid Air. Another Tesla vehicle, Model Y got the fourth place in EPA&#8217;s most efficient EVs ranking. Tesla&#8217;s all four models made it into the list. There are also three Hyundai, two Kia, and two Chevrolet models.

18 Most Efficient Electric Cars, According to EPA | 2023 Ranking

Jaguar

Thierry Bolloré, the newly appointed head of Jaguar Land Rover. He has declared that starting in 2025, Jaguar will only produce electric vehicles.
Bolloré stated that JLR would leave the production of SUVs to the Land Rover brand starting in 2025. And that Jaguar would solely produce all-electric vehicles after that point.
It has been announced that Jaguar will utilize a distinct platform design, having left Land Rover to use the upcoming MLA (Modular Longitudinal Architecture) platform for reconfigurable electronically controlled gasoline-powered vehicles and the EMA (Electric Modular Architecture).
This implies that the MLA platform-based upcoming Jaguar XJ saloon, which was supposed to debut in the year and go on the market in 2022, has already been dropped from the market. Bolloré declared, &#8220;XJ doesn&#8217;t really match with our prior to the transition.&#8221; &#8220;It was a difficult decision, even though it was a big decision,&#8221;
According to Bolloré, &#8220;We want the best of the best for the Jaguar platform. The determination with an all system would reflect on the design concept for the automobiles.
&#8220;We completely unrestricted the designers to create the most striking looks. Significant importance is placed on proportion, which will determine the platform.

<h2 class="polaris__heading">Seemingly Small EV Jaguar</h2>
When Bolloré joined Jaguar Land Rover, one of the ideas on the board was to create a new, tiny electric Jaguar SUV. The aim is to compete with the latest Polestar 2 and Tesla&#8217;s Model 3 and Model Y.
A compact Jaguar would indeed be fantastic; we really have to think about it though, said JLR&#8217;s director of engineering, Nick Rogers. The idea for compact, electrical Jaguars has already received backing from the top management.
Future Jaguars will undoubtedly pay homage to the past while still focusing on the future. &#8220;Jaguar automobiles of the earlier were of their time; they weren&#8217;t staring back, they were moving forward.

Polestar To Debut First Electric SUV In Last Quarter Of 2022

One of the biggest challenges of the EV industry is to provide longer ranges with a single charge. That’s why companies try to develop batteries that can be charged as fast as possible.
Polestar has officially announced that it will make its first financial investment in Israeli battery technology innovator, StoreDot.
StoreDot is the pioneer in manufacturing extreme fast charging (XFC) batteries that will overcome the range and charging anxiety of the EV industry. StoreDot&#8217;s strategic investors and partners include Daimler, BP, VinFast, Volvo, Ola Electric, Samsung, TDK, and the manufacturing partner EVE Energy.
<h2>Revolutionizing the battery architecture</h2>
Polestar CEO, Thomas Ingelath says that “Charging and range anxiety are common concerns holding owners of combustion engine cars back from making the switch to EVs. Store Dot’s advanced battery technology potentially provides real solutions to these obstacles.”
The company has revolutionized the conventional Li-ion battery and has been using two different techniques to produce XFC batteries.
The first technique of StoreDot is to replace the conventional graphite in the battery’s anode with silicon nanoparticles, synthesized together with proprietary small-molecule organic compounds. The Israeli company says that this mix overcomes the inherent challenges of the silicon such as its expansion during the charging cycles and the subsequent energy loss.
Secondly, the battery manufacturer company developed a hybrid-solid electrolyte, which creates a low-resistance flow of ions between the battery’s electrodes, increasing energy density.
<h2>StoreDot promises  100 miles range in under 5 mins</h2>
<img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-12057" src="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/FM17X42XEAIhws5-1024x643.jpeg" alt="" width="750" height="471" srcset="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/FM17X42XEAIhws5-1024x643.jpeg 1024w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/FM17X42XEAIhws5-300x188.jpeg 300w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/FM17X42XEAIhws5-768x482.jpeg 768w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/FM17X42XEAIhws5-1536x965.jpeg 1536w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/FM17X42XEAIhws5-2048x1286.jpeg 2048w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/FM17X42XEAIhws5-1568x985.jpeg 1568w" sizes="(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px" />
Through its ‘100inX’ product roadmap, StoreDot is confident that its batteries will deliver 160 km/100 miles of charge in five minutes by 2024, three minutes by 2028, and just two minutes by 2032. In other words, this will be the same time it takes to refuel a conventional combustion engine car.
With this partnership, StoreDot will adapt and apply its technology to the prototypes of Polestar’s EVs. If this pilot program becomes successful, the company will put its fast-charging batteries into Polestars by 2026.
StoreDot CEO, Dr. Doron Myersdorf, adds, “We are extremely excited to be entering into an agreement with Polestar, both as an investor and collaborator. Like us, Polestar is an extremely ambitious, innovative brand and is already proving to be pivotal in the mass adoption of electric vehicles, helping us move to a cleaner, zero-emissions world. We are looking forward to working together and we know that our technologies have huge potential to eradicate charging and range anxieties for future Polestar owners.”
