Learn About Electric Vehicles
Useful information about electric cars
From its intuitive design to its cutting-edge technology, the benefits of your upcoming EV rental are endless. Progression in electric vehicle technology now means EVs are equally suitable for inner-city travel and longer journeys. With approximately 46,000 charging stations located throughout the country, and more being added every month, electric cars can take you farther than you ever realized.
Are electric cars better for the environment?
According to EPA research,** electric cars are better for the environment than combustion-engine vehicles. That’s primarily because there are zero tailpipe emissions, but there are additional waste-reduction benefits of EVs – both direct and indirect.
For example, the Tesla Model 3, Model Y, and the Polestar 2, use batteries that can last for decades. But it doesn’t end there. As time passes and clean manufacturing technology improves, EV battery production facilities make their environmental impact smaller and smaller. For example, the Tesla Gigafactory in Sparks, NV, will be entirely powered by renewable energy once fully complete; setting a new bar for automotive manufacturing standards.
Do electric cars use oil?
Electric cars don’t use conventional engines so don’t need any oil. Rather, they use electric motors that are powered by batteries which can be recharged at a designated electric vehicle charging station.
Along with not requiring oil and oil filter changes, EVs don’t need new spark plugs or fuel filters, which further helps the environment by reducing waste.
Do electric cars have transmissions?
Electric vehicles contain an automatic gearbox, but not in the conventional sense, as it is a single-speed transmission. In an EV, the transmission takes power from the motor and transfers it to the wheels, driving and rotating them. This power, known as torque, is immediately available, eliminating the need for the car to warm up or idle and significantly reducing emissions.
