Speed Override This is a Speed Override Warning Indicator symbol. This is an electric vehicle (EV) symbol that is intended to warn that that the vehicle speed is being limited due the very low remaining range and that that limit has been exceeded. Before continuing, is one of these truly your symbol?? If yes, read …

EV efficiency EV efficiency, measured in miles per kWh (m/kWh), comes up short in the vast majority of electric vehicles. Most will see between three and four m/kWh, covered in some detail here. And the larger the electric vehicle, the lower the efficiency. The Kia Niro I am now driving, however, is a summertime efficiency …

Well, there’s quite a bit of information floating around about the topic out there, and most of it is highly subjective. That said, the best answer is “up to 20%” of an electric vehicle’s (EV) range. So, as a best case scenario, an EV …

Breakdown weak link We’ve done two recent posts related to 12 volt start batteries over the last several months and now comes an item from Germany that puts a finger on the same item being a breakdown weak link that brings together electric vehicles (EVs) and internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles. Reported by InsideEVs, the …

A final hodgepodge of regen braking questions
Regen braking Our search for common regen braking questions turned up several that require only the following short answers. — Does regenerative braking wear out tires faster? Regenerative braking has no impact on vehicle’s tires. Aggressive driving and hard braking with the friction brakes can cause damage to tires. — Should I use regenerative braking …
