Contrary to popular belief, the electric car is not new. Legend has it that at the beginning of the th century, when the automobile was intended to replace animal traction, there were two engine options: internal combustion, gasoline (a rare item at the time, which was purchased in pharmacies), and electric.
It doesn't take a genius to know which one predominated. The interesting thing is the legend behind the choice of the internal combustion engine: in the society of the time, the fact that the electric engine did not make noise did not BTC Number Data please the gentlemen who decided this.
It is known, however, that gasoline was a by-product of kerosene, which had no use and, therefore, had no market value and was thrown away. Well, then why not use it, since it was cheap? Today, in addition to being an environmental villain, it is a product that has its price adjusted daily.
The problem
Due to environmental issues, the entire automotive industry has focused its efforts on the technological improvement of electric vehicles, which have as main obstacles the autonomy and charging time of the batteries, in addition, of course, to the weight of the batteries. But why is autonomy so important?
Currently, humanity uses automobiles for practically everything in relation to mobility. Going to the supermarket, going to work, taking the children to school, dating, having fun, and traveling with the family. And it is precisely this last point that many cling to to believe that km of autonomy is not enough for a car. After all, with a conventional car, after driving km you just need to stop for minutes at a gas station, fill the tank and continue your journey.
So the real problem is not necessarily the autonomy, but rather the battery recharging time, which at ultra-fast charging stations takes minutes for an % charge. And, with common V or V sockets, hours or more for % charge.
Unfortunately this will be the case for some time until they develop faster and more efficient charging battery technology. However, km of autonomy for driving in the city, on a daily basis, is more than enough for the vast majority of mortals.
