Most (?all?) EVs (hybrids & BEVs) use a traditional (heavy) lead/acid 12V battery to power the accessories (dash, power windows, door locks) and to start the gas engine (if it has one). The Ioniq does not- it uses (a portion of) the Li_Ion battery pack that it already has, AND has the possibilit...

The Solo costs $19,888 CAD (US$15,000) before any rebate or tax credit.

I also read that charging stations are specific to vehicle type and they are not Universal it was the first time I had read anything like that and I wanted to ask on the Forum if this is true or where most charging stations available to most models of vehicles Charging stations are specific to *sta...

It's really not that complicated. Use google if you want more info than what follows. Tesla has its own proprietary fast-charge systems, yes. I won't talk about them. There are currently TWO (non-Tesla) standards for fast charging : CHAdeMO and CCS (Combined Charging System). CHAdeMO was developed i...

I don't know a lot but yeah I have read that a few times. It comes up a lot in Eracing and other more conventional car reads
