If you just bought an electric vehicle, you might be wondering what you&#8217;re going to do when you leave for a vacation or a long business trip. Because, unlike traditional petrol/diesel vehicles, electric cars have a battery pack that tends to drain over time. Here is a reliving answer to your concerns:
An electric car can sit for at least two months without charging. The exact time you can leave your vehicle without charge depends highly on the charge level and weather temperature. The average charge loss is around 1.5 to 0.5 percent per day. In some cases it can be as low as 0.1 percent or as high as 2-3 percent. The smart features (such as Tesla&#8217;s Summon), climate control, preconditioning the cabin and the battery pack, always-on security features (Tesla Sentry Mode, Rivian Gear Guard, etc.), dog mode, and other features that keep the car&#8217;s system awake will drain the battery faster.
In order to make your electric car last longer without charge, you need to disable all features that might keep your car consumes energy even if you leave it unattended for weeks.
Here is some advice that will help you conserve your EV&#8217;s battery level:
&#8211; Turn on the vacation mode or power-saving mode if it exists. (some EVs have deep-sleep modes optimized for these situations)
&#8211; Disable security mode, dog mode, etc. that might keep your car and its sensors awake.
&#8211; Do not use mobile apps connected to your car if it&#8217;s not necessary. By merely running those apps will wake your car&#8217;s systems and drain your battery even faster.
&#8211; Make sure that your battery level is above 50 percent. Tesla even suggests that you leave your electric car plugged in if you&#8217;re going to be absent for more than a few days. Other manufacturers recommend leaving your car&#8217;s battery at an average charge level, neither full nor lower than 50 percent.
&#8211; Turn off any preconditioning feature. These settings might start your car without you knowing and preheat the cabin and battery pack in cold temperatures.

Electric car batteries are made possible by using probably the most advanced battery technologies on the market. But they still self-discharge, some batteries might drain faster and some might hold on to their energy better. If you leave your electric car parked for a couple of days, weeks, or even months, you will see that you lose a significant percentage of charge when you&#8217;re gone.

How Long Can An Electric Car Sit Without Charging?

Peugeot

Peugeot struck the mark with the 3008, which is undoubtedly one of the most popular cars in Europe&#8217;s fiercely competitive compact SUV segment. The third-generation <a href="https://www.licarco.com/peugeout-e-308">E-3008</a> is anticipated to debut later this year, despite the second generation receiving a makeover in 2020 and mild hybrid powertrains in 2023.
The latest 3008 made its debut back in 2016, and it marked a dramatic shift from the minivan it replaced. With Peugeot&#8217;s distinctive LED fangs added during the 2020 facelift, the SUV gained in attractiveness. Yet as time goes on, so do the trends in vehicles that call for higher-riding SUVs to have more contoured bodies and sportier attitudes. Peugeot will convert the third-generation 3008 into a coupe SUV just like this.
<h2>The E-3008 Will be Sportier Than  Its Predecessor 408 Fastback</h2>
The newly designed tail will be the focal point of the new model, changing the proportions and allowing it to compete with more expensive rivals. The 3008 will appear sportier than the 408 fastback despite being somewhat taller and slightly longer than it. The revamped design will also make distinguishing the 3008 from its boxier 5008 sibling&#8217;s successor easier.
The character line will be simpler and straighter, and the roofline will be more slanted towards the back. It wouldn&#8217;t be shocking if Peugeot reduced the amount of plastic used to cover the bodywork to make the SUV appear more upscale and less daring.
Like other Peugeot models, the smaller LED taillights with three-claw designs are expected to be joined by a dark-tinted trim piece. The duo-tone approach with the black-painted roof and pillars will likely be carried over to the following generation, while new wheel designs and a fresh color palette might spice up the aesthetics even more.
The future model is expected to get bigger in line with the SUV trend, leaving a more significant gap between it and the soon-to-be facelifted 2008, which has a length of 4.300 mm/169.3 inches. The length of the present 3008 is 4.447 mm/175.1 inches, and the upcoming version is expected to be significantly longer. Despite its coupe-SUV look, this size increase will improve the car&#8217;s proportions and give more space for passengers and baggage.
<h2>The New STLA Medium Architecture Will Debut With the New 3008 As Its Initial Model</h2>
The new Peugeot 3008 will be the first vehicle to ride on the new STLA Medium architecture, the company has officially announced. In the second half of 2023, the electric E-3008 will make its debut, shortly followed by the bigger and mechanically similar E-5008. Peugeot will still provide other choices in the form of electrified powertrains for some areas that are not yet fully prepared for EVs, even if the zero-emission powertrains will be the major emphasis of the new generation.
In comparison to the present EMP2 platform, which supports the Peugeot E-308 and many other Stellantis EVs, the STLA Medium architecture is anticipated to deliver increased technological capabilities on the electric front in terms of power output and range. More precisely, Peugeot will provide customers with a choice of three distinct electric powertrains for the E-3008, with an emissions-free range of up to 700 km/440 miles.

<a href="https://www.licarco.com/cars">Electric vehicles</a> have not only bigger batteries and electric motors but also more advanced software compared to ICE vehicles. There are even a couple of EV-oriented operating systems for automakers to use. Tesla, as the pioneer of EVs, has the lead in automotive software with its famously cool features, remote capabilities, etc.
But it doesn&#8217;t mean that <a href="https://licarco.com/news/how-many-tesla-cars-have-been-sold">Tesla vehicles</a> always run smoothly. Tesla Model 3 and Model Y users occasionally report that their main screen is frozen, got stuck on a menu, or doesn&#8217;t properly work or respond. It&#8217;s not usual, but there is an easy fix for those kinds of problems. You need to restart/or reboot your vehicle&#8217;s main system.
In this article, we created a step-by-step guide for Tesla vehicle owners to help them reboot/restart their electric cars easily.
<h2>A Step-by-Step Tesla Restart/Rebooting Guide</h2>
<img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-32907" src="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/tesla-steering-wheel-buttons-1024x639.jpg" alt="" width="750" height="468" srcset="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/tesla-steering-wheel-buttons-1024x639.jpg 1024w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/tesla-steering-wheel-buttons-300x187.jpg 300w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/tesla-steering-wheel-buttons-768x479.jpg 768w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/tesla-steering-wheel-buttons-1536x959.jpg 1536w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/tesla-steering-wheel-buttons-1568x979.jpg 1568w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/tesla-steering-wheel-buttons.jpg 2035w" sizes="(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px" />
Step 1. Pull over your Tesla and shift it into Park Mode.
If you encounter any problem regarding the main screen while you&#8217;re driving, Tesla highly recommends that you don&#8217;t continue to drive and just safely park your vehicle as soon as possible.
Step 2. Put your hands on the steering wheel and hold down both scroll buttons/wheels.
Some other reboot guides tell you that you need to press the brake pedal while holding. This action doesn&#8217;t impact the restarting process. So, it&#8217;s not required.
Step 3. Keep holding down the scroll buttons until the main screen turns black.
The Tesla logo will appear on the touchscreen after a few seconds. It&#8217;ll take around 30 seconds for your Tesla Model 3/Y&#8217;s main screen to restart.
By following these steps, you will only restart your Tesla&#8217;s touchscreen. It doesn&#8217;t power your vehicle&#8217;s whole system off and on. If the screen still has problems while operating, you might try manually powering off the vehicle. Just go to the &#8216;Controls&#8217; menu and touch the &#8216;Safety&#8217; option. Then, press the &#8216;Power Off&#8217; button to power cycle the vehicle.

How to Restart/Reboot Tesla Model 3/Y?

When Tesla first announced back in 2019 that they would produce an all-electric pickup truck starting from $39,900, people rushed to the automaker&#8217;s website and put their names on the waiting list. But at the end of 2021, Tesla removed any info regarding Cybertruck&#8217;s price and specifications from the pre-order page. <a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.licarco.com/news/how-many-tesla-cybertruck-orders-are-there" target="_blank" rel="noopener">All 1.7 million Cybertruck reservation holders</a> wonder: will Tesla honor its original Cybertruck price list?
After almost three and a half years, Tesla&#8217;s original price list for Cybertruck is not relevant today, because of inflation, material prices, chip shortage, etc. There&#8217;s a high chance that Tesla will not honor the Cybertruck prices. But this special all-electric pickup truck is designed in a way that it won&#8217;t be needing any paint or expensive aluminum parts. Instead, Tesla will use a paintless stainless steel exoskeleton body to reduce manufacturing costs. Lithium-ion batteries are also a lot cheaper than what they would cost in 2019. So, it&#8217;s definitely possible for Tesla to produce and sell Cybertrucks at the original price points.
<h2>Cheaper FSD for Cybertruck Reservation Holders!</h2>
<img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-36677" src="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Screen-Shot-2021-08-20-at-12.40.05-pm-1024x567.webp" alt="" width="750" height="415" srcset="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Screen-Shot-2021-08-20-at-12.40.05-pm-1024x567.webp 1024w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Screen-Shot-2021-08-20-at-12.40.05-pm-300x166.webp 300w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Screen-Shot-2021-08-20-at-12.40.05-pm-768x425.webp 768w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Screen-Shot-2021-08-20-at-12.40.05-pm-1536x850.webp 1536w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Screen-Shot-2021-08-20-at-12.40.05-pm-2048x1133.webp 2048w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Screen-Shot-2021-08-20-at-12.40.05-pm-1568x867.webp 1568w" sizes="(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px" />
Truth be told, Tesla is not obligated to honor the Cybertruck price list that was announced at the unveiling event and put online for two years. It&#8217;s, however, officially confirmed that FSD pricing is fixed for the Cybertruck reservation holders, which is half of what the FSD package costs today ($15,000). Even if Cybertruck gets a price bump, there&#8217;s a $7,500 cost advantage for the customers who chose FSD while ordering their pickup truck.

Will Tesla Honor Cybertruck Price? | FSD Price Advantage

With the brand-new Cyberster, which honors vintage British roadsters, MG is going back to its roots. Prior to its premiere at the Shanghai Auto Show next week, the electric car has been largely unveiled courtesy of images from China&#8217;s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. Both rear-wheel drive and all-wheel drive variants of the Cyberster will be offered, with the twin motor type offering up to 536 horsepower (400 kW) of electric power.
Leaked design patent drawings first revealed the production version of the 2021 MG Cyberster concept in June 2022. The concept was then seen in its natural state in February 2023. The outside of the automobile is definitely appealing, and the new photographs offer us the finest look at it so far. Given that roadsters are uncommon in today&#8217;s age of SUVs, the public is likely to react positively to the MG Cyberster.
<h2>Cyberster Can Reach a Maximum Speed of 200 kph/124 mph</h2>
The front electric motor on the Cyberster has a rated power of 101 horsepower (75 kW) and a max output of 201 horsepower (150 kW). The motor at the back typically generates 215 horsepower (160 kW), with a top output of 335 hp. (250 kW). The vehicle can go 200 kph/124 mph at its peak speed. No battery information is provided.
The Cyberster has the following physical measurements: 178.5 inches (4,535 millimeters) in length, 75.31 inches (1,913 mm) in width, and 52.32 inches (1,329 mm) in height. Wheelbase measurement: 105.9 inches (2,690 mm). In terms of length, width, and height, the MG is somewhat larger than a 2023 Mazda MX-5 Miata, which measures 154.1 inches, 68.3 inches, and 48.8 inches. It had a 90.9-inch wheelbase.
The curb weight of the Cyberster is 4,376 pounds according to the Chinese source. (1,985 kilograms).
Roadsters like the T-series, MGA, MGB, and even the F from the 1990s are well known under the MG name. The Cyberster doesn&#8217;t clearly show any stylistic cues from the previous versions except for the two-seat arrangement and the opening roof. Sharp creases are used in the style and flow over the hood&#8217;s arched shape and through the doors.
The taillights are arrow-shaped towards the back. The lowest part features a noticeable diffuser.
A few of the alternatives that MG plans to provide are also depicted in the illustrations. There are soft toppers in black and red. Customers could choose from a variety of wheel styles and symbol designs.

Sony, which has been promoting electric car technologies at the consumer electronics show CES for three years, has come across the world this time with a prototype it will put up for sale. The company, which established Sony Honda Mobility by collaborating with Japanese automaker Honda last year, launched a vehicle that will go into production for the first time at CES 2023.

Reminiscent of the <a href="https://www.licarco.com/sony-vision-s-02">VISION-S</a> concept that emerged in 2020. The AFEELA branded electric sedan draws attention with its aerodynamic design. The vehicle, which is will have a dual-engine power system and a wheelbase of 3,000 mm, also has a front panel that the user can customize as he wishes.

Sony, which has placed a total of 45 sensors and cameras inside and outside of AFEELA, plans to produce a car that will provide high-level safety with its autonomous driving features. The 6-screen sedan&#8217;s interior uses Epic Games&#8217; Unreal Engine to power the visuals, which is under Qualcomm&#8217;s Snapdragon Digital Chassis series system solution on the processor. Additionally, a number of games and Sony content, including TV shows and movies, will be available for viewing on in-car screens.

The Sony-Honda partnership, which will directly target major auto markets with AFEELA, plans to start taking pre-orders in the first half of 2025. The first deliveries should start in 2026 in the US, while orders most probably end by the end of 2025.
Sony&#8217;s first electric car is an example of the struggle to rival Tesla with its software features and autonomous driving capabilities. With its experience in the entertainment industry and the sensor market, the Japanese technology giant is perfect for this job.
