These points concern, in particular, their price, autonomy or even the possibility of recharging them, as well as the difficulties associated with the availability of charging stations. Let’s look at some misconceptions about electric cars !

Electric cars: their autonomy is too low

Although electric cars are particularly suitable for city trips and everyday trips, most models are now on display comfortable autonomy, having run 400 km. Some even claim even greater autonomy.

Then you can cover quite a long distance before the battery runs out. And with the appearance of new battery technologiesthe autonomy of future generations of electric cars should also increase.

Electric cars: charging takes a long time!

It only takes a few minutes to fill the fuel tank of a diesel engine. As for the electric car, the operation actually takes a bit longer…

However, this depends on the model of the electric vehicle used, as well as on the power supplied from the outlet or charging station. Indeed, the latest models are becoming more and more compatible with high-speed charging stationswhich can restore about 80% autonomy in less than half an hour.

In particular, recharging takes the longest in domestic sockets: it takes a good ten hours, but if you are in the habit of charging your car at night before leaving the next morning, the operation will not be too limited.

That’s it, France has just installed the first terminals that allow ultra-fast charging! They are supplied by ABB eMobility and have a power of 360 kW! https://t.co/MDNs37tdbn
