Several listeners of the podcast have asked what are the main reasons for the differences in efficiency, i.e. why is there a difference in the efficiency published between Europe and the USA and others have been interested to know why there is such a large variation between seemingly similar cars. In answering these questions we cover the 5 main principle sources of efficiency gains in an electric vehicle:
1. Batteries and charging
2. Traction motor and power electronics
3. Ancillary systems
4. Aerodynamics
5. Vehicle weight
If there are any other subjects you would like us to cover please let us know, we would love to hear from you!
