electric car
An electric car, battery electric car, or all-electric car is an automobile that is propelled by one or more electric motors, using only energy stored in batteries. Compared to internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles, electric cars are quieter, have no exhaust emissions, and lower emissions overall. In the United States and the European Union, as of 2020, the total cost of ownership of recent electric vehicles is cheaper than that of equivalent ICE cars, due to lower fueling and maintenance costs. Charging an electric car can be done at a variety of charging stations; these charging stations can be installed in both houses and public areas.Worldwide, 6.6 million plug-in electric cars were sold in 2021, more than doubling 2020 sales, and achieving a market share of 9% of the global new car market. All-electric cars represented 71% of plug-in car sales in 2021. As of December 2021, 16 million plug-in electric cars were on the world's roads. Many countries have established government incentives for plug-in electric vehicles, tax credits, subsidies, and other non-monetary incentives while several countries have legislated to phase-out sales of fossil fuel cars, to reduce air pollution and limit climate change.The Tesla Model 3 became the world's all-time best-selling electric car in early 2020, and in June 2021 became the first electric car to pass 1 million global sales. Together with other emerging automotive technologies such as autonomous driving, connected vehicles and shared mobility, electric cars form a future mobility vision called Autonomous, Connected, Electric and Shared (ACES) Mobility.

I've been keeping an eye on this US firm, who make electric bicycles, but have developed an electric motorcycle which looks quite interesting and should be available in the UK at the end of the year (I asked them ;)). I just checked on their website today and it appears they're branching out...
I am a new electric car driver, having had an Mg Zs Ev for a month now. I don't want this post to come across as a negative, but knowing what you know now about the Mg Zs Ev and electric cars in general, would you have still purchased it?
My opinion is, knowing things like not getting full range...
...what do the motorcyclists on here think about the current/upcoming crop of electric bikes? I won't post links/all models, but you'll probably know they range from the cheap (Super Soco - new one this month I believe) to very expensive (e.g. Energica). Interestingly, I think the ban on ICE...
One of the clever ways that electric cars conserve electricity (to extend their range) is by recovering it when braking or slowing down. Exactly how they do this doesn't really matter so long as it works.
It's called by various names by different manufacturers and organisations. Some refer to...
GOM stands for GuessOMeter. It's an indication of the amount of range left. But because this varies in the real world depending on your driving style, weather conditions and the amount of hills you have to climb, it can vary wildly.
As the (gu)estimated range can vary so much, it's mockingly...
