"...let me concede a point. It's true that BEVs lose range in colder climates...But bear in mind, all cars lose range in the winter....Comfort, control, even durability benefits come along for the cold ride...BEV bodies tend to have lower drag coefficients and slip through the air with less effort..."...Electric motors...will deliver the precise amount of power asked from the traction control system every time and almost always as quickly as the traction system can request it."

"...a 2014 Model S P85, has racked up 1.18 million miles so far, which works out to approximately 131,000 miles per year...Most of the replacement motors were actually refurbished units and the problem there is that Tesla didn't know the real issue so it didn't know how to properly fix the motors...Four batteries at 1.2 million miles mean that the average pack lasted some 300,000 and counting...The Model S has been driven to Africa, Morocco, Sweden, Austria, and China."06 Dec 2023 | Synopsis
"...a fresh fear: that the transition to a new, clean energy system will create a host of new dependencies and insecurities on the purveyors of critical materials such as lithium, copper, graphite, aluminum, nickel and rare earth minerals."Most of those fears are overblown and are leading to policy responses that could make things worse. Markets, for the most part, are doing a good job in linking supply and demand..."

Granada-based "INNengine sees the four-cylinder, eight-piston engine serving as a range extender (hence REX) that complements a vehicle's battery-electric...powertrain."The 700-cc e-REX is tiny, measuring about 16 inches long and 10 inches in diameter and weighing under 90 pounds. With its compact size and limited mass, it theoretically ought to have little effect on vehicle packaging, allowing for a smaller and lighter battery pack while ensuring plentiful driving range."
