As you know when ICE engines first came out they weren't as practical and efficient as they were today. In terms of efficiency and consumption, incredible progress has been made with ICE cars. Now we're beginning to see vehicles that consume on the south side of 6lt/100 km(north side of 40mpg)
My question is, when it comes to electric cars, which are has the best potential for improvement?
- Lowering motor consumption: Making motors consume less Wh on average for the same job done would make range better with current battery packs, this would be the most desirable improvement.
- Making batteries denser and denser: I know this is happening as we speak and maybe we could see a 100kWh battery pack for Model S in the future but this would make charging times longer. Not a problem for everyday use but for those long road trips it's kind of an hassle.
- Getting the batteries to charge faster: This is a solution for those EV skeptics with road trips in mind.
Thanks for the answers in advance. Cheers;
