Toyota bZ4X... ... the bZ4X will be available in all-wheel-drive configuration in our market.
The top speed is rated at 160 km/h. Equipped with a 73.1 kWh battery pack, the all-paw bZ4X offers a claimed operating range of up to 516 km.
The unit we tested is owned by the company’s co-founder and managing director Gideon Wolvaardt, who has clocked over 40,000km in the bakkie.
Riddara higher-spec RD6The RD6 4WD comes with either a 73kWh battery supporting up to 424km of WLTP range on a single charge, or an 86kWh pack with up to 455km of WLTP range per charge.
The top-spec model supports up to 110kW DC charging, enabling a top-up from 30% to 80% in roughly 30 minutes at a supported fast charger. The maximum AC charging speed is 11kW.
CHARGE calls for lower EV duties, etc.The South African government should at least reduce the import duties to match the 18% for ICE vehicles. In fact, they could learn from several governments on the African continent that have reduced and even removed import duties for BEVs completely to encourage adoption.

And It Raises More Questions Than AnswersThe skeptics had good reason to question Donut Lab’s press copy. The company more or less claimed it had achieved the holy grail, but offered no proof. Donut Lab and Verge Motorcycles had no patent disclosures, no demonstrations of the tech, and not even any research papers. It didn’t even have any internal testing to offer anyone. The press releases just claimed the achievement, and that’s it.
Kom ons kyk maar wat gebeur vorentoe hiermee.In response to the critics, Donut Lab launched a website and video series called “I Donut Believe.” Donut Lab’s website doesn’t even hide that people have accused the company of being scammers.
Each week, Donut Lab seeks to prove each of its claims with a video.
Luukse Lexus BEVLexus maak nie aanspraak op reikafstand nie – maar ek reken met daardie grootte battery is tussen 400 km en 500 km maklik haalbaar in die dorpsverkeer as mens nie ʼn baksteen vir ʼn voet het nie – en tussen 300 km en 400 km indien jy baie op die snelweg ry.

Ek sien ook nie eintlik elektriese karre hier om my. Ev's is n scam en die ware groen energie toekoms is hydrogen engines. Toyota is reeds besig om daaran te werk.

En sowaar, hier is die "skeptiese spul" ook sommer byderhand.

Strong demand for Volvo EX60It’s nice to hear of an EV surpassing expectations, going off and surprising its creator with the level of demand it’s seeing. Kudos to Volvo Cars for the achievement.
A 12.7-kg electric motor now produces more than 1,000 horsepower, setting a new benchmark for power density in EV technology.YASA, a British electric motor company owned by Mercedes-Benz and based out of an innovation center in Oxford, has done it twice now, and the second time came only a few months after the first.
"This is real hardware, in real life, delivering real data," Odling said, "and it's performing beautifully."
Hierdie "four times that" is ook seker nodig bloot omdat 'n EV ook seker "four times ++" die gewig van 'n motorfiets is.Donut Labs produced an automotive hub motor earlier this year that reached 15.8 kilowatts per kilogram. YASA's new prototype is nearly four times that.

Unveiled in 50 xDrive guise, the BMW i3 sedan employs a dual electric-motor powertrain .... ....
Although BMW hasn’t confirmed battery capacity, the automaker says the “high-voltage” item is capable of receiving up to 400 kW at a DC fast-charging station. Plugged into such a facility, a 10-minute top up provides 400 km of range, the firm says. The Bavarian brand claims a combined operating range of 900 km (WLTP) on a single full charge.
New BMW i3 EVThis means the i3’s battery can be used to power external devices (V2L) such as small appliances, act as a power source for a house (V2H) and feed energy back into the power grid (V2G).
Donut Lab's Solid State Battery - fourth testThe fourth video of the "I Donut Believe" campaign is also not an independent test, but a real-life experience. Donut Lab showcases a Verge TS Pro motorcycle during a DC fast-charging session... ...
The pack took 5 minutes to charge from 10% to 50%, reached 70% in 9 minutes, and reached 80% of state of charge after 12 minutes. These are impressive figures ... ...
In die video word duidelik gesê deur die onafhanklike toets laboratorium dat die Donut Lab se SSB nie gebrand het nie.Instead, the fifth installment of the I Donut Believe saga shows a safety demonstration test, and even that is questionable.
Hou in gedagte dat Verge Motorcycles en Donut Lab werk saam - so wie weet wat peul uiteindelik nog hier uit.However, this doesn't automatically mean that it's a solid-state battery as claimed. We'll have to wait a lot longer before independent parties can demonstrate that, especially since Verge Motorcycles did not start deliveries in the first quarter as promised.
Donut Lab het meer as net een vinger in hierdie 'pie' ... ...The electric juice in the battery goes to a Donut Lab hubless in-wheel electric motor that delivers 134 hp and 1,000 Nm of torque.
Electric Minibus TaxisOnce GoMetro successfully rolls out the first electric taxis, it will order and roll out more vehicles over the next few years in hopes of going fully electric at Century City in the next three or four years.
