 ALL YOU WANTED TO KNOW ABOUT EVs Riz Ahktar is passionate about cars, in general. He began his presentation with a photo of Nimboy International Speeding, in China, where he had the opportunity to explore the Zeekr, an electric car which is a brother and sister of Volvo. He described the extent to which China had zoomed ahead in technological developement. There are currently over two hundred and seventy thousand electric vehicles on the road. EVs, in his view, are becoming cheaper than petrol cars. It costs between ten and twelve thousand dollars to replace the battery in an electric vehicle. However, the batteries outlast the cars. Companies now offer ten year warranties. Even the earlier battery technology ( from 2015) can last for ten years. Riz claims that it costs five dollars to charge his electric vehicle. Whatsmore, one can set when and how long to charge an EV. One must think of charging an electric vehicle in the same way one recharges one's mobile phone. Due to the variety of electric vehicles now on sale, the price for an electric vehicle has declined. Thus, once the most popular EV, the Tesla Model Y sales have also declined. Yet, Tesla is still one of the most productive car factories of all of them. He argues that the Chinese have a more long-term view of electric vehicles, so car parts are now more readily available. In the future, and not so far away, China may be producing flying cars. Even drones are being used on a daily basis for deliveries. Tesla checks to see if its vehicles can be hacked through the use of ethical hacking competitions. The winner gets a Tesla. The electrical vehicle can be charged overnight, when it is cheaper to recharge. In short, Riz gave us substantial details about electrical vehicles and positive arguments for considering purchasing one. It was an interesting perspective.
