Basically the battery stores the amount of energy added when charging and measures the amount of energy used, to determine how much energy is left, and converts it into a range value...

    I think that you will be put back at the end of the list. You should keep your order, and transfer it to someone else instead, and make a second order.

    New Jersey State to Ask EV Buyers To Pay 4 Years of Registration Up Front

    The tax should certainly be based on mileage and weight of the car. This is not a democratic law as small vehicles used only for short commute get taxed the same way as heavy users, such as UBER taxis or limousines, or truckcs used by building contractors.
