HiPhi

🟢Announcing that it will convert diesel mining trucks to electric in 2021 together with #ABB, #Hitachi shared that the first vehicle has been produced.
⛏️The giant truck started to be used in a copper-gold mine in Zambia. It climbs with an electrical connection that feeds the battery, similar to a trolleybus, while going to pick up load. When turning downhill while loaded, it recharges its battery thanks to regenerative braking.
🔋In this way, ABB and Hitachi completed the transformation with a smaller one instead of a megawatt-hour battery. They made this possible thanks to the regenerative braking ability of the huge electric motors seen in the prototype photo.
🔌Mining truck&#8217;s previously had a giant internal combustion engine with 16 cylinders and 2,534 horsepower. It will relatively reduce the impact of mining on the environment by ending diesel consumption and zeroing out emissions after the conversion to electric.

🟢 Electric vehicles, thanks to regenerative braking, brake without using the brake pads, saving on brake disc and pad expenses, and also avoiding environmental pollution caused by particles released from the pads.
⚠️ Attention: When not used for a long time, rust and dirt may accumulate on the brake disc and pads. Additionally, salt spread on roads after snow can accelerate rusting. Therefore, it&#8217;s beneficial to periodically apply full pressure on the brake pedal or reduce regenerative braking to ensure cleaning of the discs and pads.

<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-41996" src="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/IMG_5524-1024x577.jpeg" alt="" width="750" height="423" srcset="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/IMG_5524-1024x577.jpeg 1024w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/IMG_5524-300x169.jpeg 300w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/IMG_5524-768x432.jpeg 768w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/IMG_5524-1536x865.jpeg 1536w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/IMG_5524-1568x883.jpeg 1568w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/IMG_5524.jpeg 2048w" sizes="(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px" />
Even though its platform has not changed, it is certain that the new Taycan is much better than the old one in almost every aspect. While the Turbo S version previously completed the 0-100 km/h acceleration in 2.8 seconds, this time decreases to 2.4 seconds in the renewed Taycan.
The 2024 Porsche Taycan can reach 952 horsepower thanks to the new rear engine. It can reflect this performance on the road for a much longer time with its new generation heat pump thermal management system and inverter. The sports vehicle with 800-volt electric architecture can also charge for five minutes at speeds above 320 kW.
The German manufacturer states that the old generation Taycan was charged from 10% to 80% in approximately 37 minutes at 15 degrees, and that this decreased to 18 minutes with the new Taycan.
The new Taycan, whose small battery option increases from 79 kWh to 89 kWh, and whose Peformance Battery Plus option increases its capacity from 93 to 105 kWh, will hit the roads in Turkey in the spring, simultaneously Europe and the world.
With all these innovations, the starting price increases from 93,000 euros to 105,530 euros. Customers who want to buy the Taycan with 952 HP and a large battery have to pay 217,000 euros.

905 Kilometer Range EV From Chery: Exeed Sterra ES

If you plan on purchasing a used ICE vehicle, mileage matters a lot! The odometer gives you insightful information regarding the vehicle&#8217;s condition. Does this unwritten rule of choosing a pre-owned vehicle apply to all-electric vehicles such as Tesla as well?
The mileage still matters on a Tesla, but it&#8217;s not as important for EVs as traditional vehicles. Because Tesla vehicles&#8217; resale value is mostly based on the battery pack&#8217;s SoH or &#8216;state of health&#8217;. No matter how many miles a Tesla has driven, it all comes down to the battery&#8217;s health and the real-world range of the vehicle.
Electric cars have only a few moving parts that wear over time and need replacement. The most expensive part replacement is, by far, the battery pack itself. That&#8217;s why a customer looking to buy a used Tesla should first seek information on the vehicle&#8217;s battery but not the mileage itself. Suffice it to say that mileage is also a factor in evaluating the battery&#8217;s health status but it&#8217;s not the only criteria.

<h2>What to Look for When Purchasing A Pre-Owned Tesla?</h2>
If you&#8217;re on the market for a pre-owned Tesla, instead of only focusing on mileage, you need to learn more about the vehicle&#8217;s battery condition, the manufacturing date of tires, how many miles previous owner put on them, interior condition, how old is the low-voltage battery, etc. You should put the battery condition in the first place because it&#8217;ll cost an arm and a leg to replace. You should also look for any wear on the tires. Tesla tires are significantly more expensive than non-EV tires.
12/16V low-voltage battery also needs to be replaced more often on a Tesla than an ICE vehicle. Tesla vehicles&#8217; brake disks and pads could be used for years without any replacement, but you shouldn&#8217;t take your chances with them. Take a quick test drive with the vehicle and look for brake pedal stiffness or any different noise coming from the brakes.

Does Mileage Matter on A Tesla? | Tesla FAQ

<a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.licarco.com/cars" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Electric vehicles</a> date back to the early 19th century, but some drivers still get confused about how these cars work. Teslas, for instance, are often seen <a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://insideevs.com/news/632072/woman-sure-tesla-model-3-runs-on-gas-is-determined-to-fill-it-up/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">at a gas station</a> with a clueless driver trying to figure out how to put gas in his/her Tesla&#8230;
Do Teslas use gas, then? No, they definitely do not. A Tesla vehicle, like any other all-electric car, doesn&#8217;t rely on gas as an energy source. Instead, Teslas need to be recharged. For those who got confused last time, please know that Tesla vehicles don&#8217;t use gas or any other fossil fuel to be refilled. Next time you get a low-range warning, go to the nearest charging station and recharge your Tesla&#8217;s battery with &#8216;electricity&#8217;.
<h2>Can You Put Gas in A Tesla?</h2>
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-37521" src="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/Tesla-VW-Swap-Hero-21-1024x576.webp" alt="" width="750" height="422" srcset="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/Tesla-VW-Swap-Hero-21-1024x576.webp 1024w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/Tesla-VW-Swap-Hero-21-300x169.webp 300w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/Tesla-VW-Swap-Hero-21-768x432.webp 768w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/Tesla-VW-Swap-Hero-21-1536x864.webp 1536w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/Tesla-VW-Swap-Hero-21-1568x882.webp 1568w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/Tesla-VW-Swap-Hero-21.webp 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px" />
Nope, that&#8217;s not possible either. You cannot put gas in a Tesla &#8216;electric vehicle&#8217;, because these cars don&#8217;t have any fuel tank or a gas pump system. There is no engine inside a Tesla to be powered by gas.
Even though Tesla had considered building gas-powered plug-in hybrid vehicles at some point in the past, all Tesla cars are built with a pure electric drivetrain. There is no engine, neither gas, nor any moving parts that belong to a gas-guzzling power unit. Instead, a Tesla comes equipped with an AC electric motor and a huge battery pack that contains thousands of cylindrical/prismatic lithium-ion cells.
Can you accidentally put gas in a Tesla? It&#8217;s not completely out of the question. We have been witnessing some drivers opening the frunk and then trying to fill up the windshield fluid cap with gas. You better be careful!!!

How to Connect Tesla Model Y/3 to Wi-Fi? | Tesla FAQ

The introduction of a 600 kW mid-race charging session has been postponed until next year in the electric open-wheel racing championship known as Formula E. This year, the series had intended to feature a brief charging pit stop during races, however, issues with the supply chain have prevented this from happening.
This year, Formula E unveiled a new, quicker &#8220;Gen3&#8221; car that is lighter and more potent than the vehicle from the previous year. The new vehicle has a large DC charge capacity, which not only opens up the possibility of mid-race recharge but also helps to enable better regenerative braking.
<h2>GEN3 Models Will Change The Game For Formula E</h2>
This year, the series is expected to include mid-race charging, with each race requiring one &#8220;pit stop&#8221; for a charge that would last around 30 seconds. Considering how quickly EVs charge, 30 seconds may not seem like much time, but every second counts because Gen3 cars charge at such a fast pace.
With a charge rate of 600 kW, a 30-second charge may provide around 5 kWh of energy, about 1/8th the size of the 39 kWh battery pack in the Gen3 model. In just 30 seconds, vehicles can charge more than 10%.
According to Formula E, the technology for these chargers is fully developed, but supply channels for the ABB charging unit that competitors would utilize have proved problematic.
As a result, the original schedule to introduce charging at the start of this season was delayed until midway through. It now appears as if the chargers would only be available for the final one or two race weekends of the year.
Consequently, the plans to introduce that point turn into a question of justice because, in a racing season that is already close, implementing a modification at the very end of the campaign might ultimately decide the title.
Some teams opposed that, saying that the regulations shouldn&#8217;t alter in the middle of the season and should remain the same the entire time. Porsche has specifically opposed the rule change, despite presently leading both the teams&#8217; and drivers&#8217; championships.
Instead, the series now plans on introducing charging from the start of the 2024 season. It appears optimistic that supply difficulties will be resolved by then and that racing teams would be more accepting of a full-season shift.

Formula E Postpones Its Plans For 600 KW Mid-Race Recharge Until Next Year

Tesla drivers might encounter different problems every day. Because electric cars are fundamentally different in almost any aspect of the car concept compared to traditional combustion engine cars. Take this for an example; do you know how to turn off your Tesla? You probably don&#8217;t know the answer because your Tesla does that for your automatically every single day. In this article, we dig into the details of turning off/powering off a Tesla Model 3/Y.
<h2>Method 1: Leave Your Car Parked</h2>
By simply leaving your Tesla parked will do the trick. On a typical day/or night, you don&#8217;t need to press any button or do something special to power off your Tesla Model 3/Y. Here are the instructions:
&#8211; Park your vehicle wherever you see fit.
&#8211; Put your Tesla into Park mode by pressing the button on the end of the drive stalk behind the steering wheel.
&#8211; Take your phone key, key fob, or key card with you and leave the car.
&#8211; The car will automatically turn itself off when you&#8217;re far enough.

<h3>Method 2: Manually Turn Off Your Tesla Model 3/Y</h3>
Electric cars are like computers and stuff. You can&#8217;t expect them to fully turn themselves off by just switching off the ignition. In order to (almost) fully turn off your Tesla and reduce the battery drain to a bare minimum, disable these features and follow the steps below.
&#8211; Disable these features;
<ul>
<li>Dog Mode</li>
<li>Sentry Mode</li>
<li>Remote features such as Smart Summon, etc.</li>
</ul>
&#8211; Put your Tesla Model 3/Y into Park mode.
&#8211; Go to the Controls menu on the touchscreen.
&#8211; Touch Safety, then turn the &#8216;Power Off&#8217; toggle off.
&#8211; Do not touch the touchscreen or press the brake pedal.
&#8211; The car will turn itself off immediately.
<h3>Method 3: Don&#8217;t Touch Anything</h3>
Tesla surely knows that their drivers will find it hard to turn off a Tesla the traditional way they used to on an ICE car. In order to make things easier for Tesla owners, there are some precautions. Here are the details regarding Tesla Model 3/Y automatically turning themselves off:
&#8211; Tesla vehicles can automatically determine that their drivers are exiting the vehicle (by stopping and unbuckling the seat belt).
&#8211; When a Model 3/Y detects its owner left the vehicle, it will automatically shift into park and turn itself off.
&#8211; The car will be turned off after 30 minutes of no use, even if you don&#8217;t leave your Tesla.

How to Turn Off Tesla Model 3/Y | Different Methods You Can Try

The 2024 Kona Electric has finally received its initial engine specs and equipment specifics from the manufacturer. Hyundai released a sneak peek at the 2024 Kona family&#8217;s striking design in December 2022, and in January 2023. The company released details on the subcompact crossover&#8217;s gasoline and hybrid engine specifications. Two battery packs—Standard and Long Range—are available for the second-generation Hyundai Kona Electric.
The 48.4 kWh battery pack in the Standard model enables a WLTP-estimated range of 342 kilometers/212 miles, while the 65.4 kWh battery in the Long Range model enables a WLTP-estimated range of 490 kilometers/304 miles.
Both models include an electric motor located up front with an output of 114.6 kW/ 154 hp for the Standard model and 160 kW/214 hp for the Long Range. The maximum torque in both cases is 188 pound-feet/255 newton-meters.
Hyundai claims that the larger battery can be charged from 0-80 % with the fast charger in around 41 minutes. Yet it fails to specify the highest charging speed that the 2024 Kona Electric may handle.
The press release also reveals that the electric crossover has battery preconditioning. This ensures safe charging and range performance over the winter. In addition, it incorporates a heated charging door that is operable in as little as -22° F/-30° C of heat.
<h2>Surround View Monitor, Bose Premium Sounds System, and Over-the-Air Remarkable Features of the New Hyundai Kona</h2>
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-33307 size-large" src="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/2024-hyundai-kona-electric-1024x576.jpg" alt="" width="750" height="422" srcset="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/2024-hyundai-kona-electric-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/2024-hyundai-kona-electric-300x169.jpg 300w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/2024-hyundai-kona-electric-768x432.jpg 768w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/2024-hyundai-kona-electric-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/2024-hyundai-kona-electric-1568x882.jpg 1568w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/2024-hyundai-kona-electric.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px" />
The new i-Pedal driving mode, which enables one-pedal operation, and the Smart Regeneration System, which automatically modifies the degree of regenerative braking in response to input from forward traffic flow, are further EV-specific features.
The new Kona EV, according to Hyundai, is one of the biggest cars in the subcompact class. It measures 171.4 in (4,355 mm), 5.9 inches (150 millimeters) longer than its predecessor. According to reports, the interior is larger and broader as a result of the expanded dimensions. This is advantageous for both passengers and their belongings.
The floating horizontal C-Pad, which has two 12.3-inch panoramic display screens and a 12-inch head-up display built-in, as well as the steering wheel-centered placement of all driver controls, make it more high-tech.
Other features of the 2024 Hyundai Kona Electric include the Surround View Monitor, which shows footage of the surrounds of the car, the Bose Premium Sounds System, and Over-the-Air (OTA) upgrades. Later, information relevant to the US market, including range estimates from the EPA, will be available.

Hyundai Kona Electric Engine Specifications for 2024

<a href="https://www.licarco.com/cars">Electric vehicles</a> have not only bigger batteries and electric motors but also more advanced software compared to ICE vehicles. There are even a couple of EV-oriented operating systems for automakers to use. Tesla, as the pioneer of EVs, has the lead in automotive software with its famously cool features, remote capabilities, etc.
But it doesn&#8217;t mean that <a href="https://licarco.com/news/how-many-tesla-cars-have-been-sold">Tesla vehicles</a> always run smoothly. Tesla Model 3 and Model Y users occasionally report that their main screen is frozen, got stuck on a menu, or doesn&#8217;t properly work or respond. It&#8217;s not usual, but there is an easy fix for those kinds of problems. You need to restart/or reboot your vehicle&#8217;s main system.
In this article, we created a step-by-step guide for Tesla vehicle owners to help them reboot/restart their electric cars easily.
<h2>A Step-by-Step Tesla Restart/Rebooting Guide</h2>
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-32907" src="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/tesla-steering-wheel-buttons-1024x639.jpg" alt="" width="750" height="468" srcset="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/tesla-steering-wheel-buttons-1024x639.jpg 1024w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/tesla-steering-wheel-buttons-300x187.jpg 300w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/tesla-steering-wheel-buttons-768x479.jpg 768w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/tesla-steering-wheel-buttons-1536x959.jpg 1536w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/tesla-steering-wheel-buttons-1568x979.jpg 1568w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/tesla-steering-wheel-buttons.jpg 2035w" sizes="(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px" />
Step 1. Pull over your Tesla and shift it into Park Mode.
If you encounter any problem regarding the main screen while you&#8217;re driving, Tesla highly recommends that you don&#8217;t continue to drive and just safely park your vehicle as soon as possible.
Step 2. Put your hands on the steering wheel and hold down both scroll buttons/wheels.
Some other reboot guides tell you that you need to press the brake pedal while holding. This action doesn&#8217;t impact the restarting process. So, it&#8217;s not required.
Step 3. Keep holding down the scroll buttons until the main screen turns black.
The Tesla logo will appear on the touchscreen after a few seconds. It&#8217;ll take around 30 seconds for your Tesla Model 3/Y&#8217;s main screen to restart.
By following these steps, you will only restart your Tesla&#8217;s touchscreen. It doesn&#8217;t power your vehicle&#8217;s whole system off and on. If the screen still has problems while operating, you might try manually powering off the vehicle. Just go to the &#8216;Controls&#8217; menu and touch the &#8216;Safety&#8217; option. Then, press the &#8216;Power Off&#8217; button to power cycle the vehicle.

How to Restart/Reboot Tesla Model 3/Y?

<a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.licarco.com/news/10-advantages-of-owning-an-electric-vehicle" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Electric vehicles</a> are famous for their low maintenance cost. Tesla has also been bragging about how much you will save on service costs by owning an EV.
What about oil changes? Do you need to change oil if you own a Tesla? According to <a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.tesla.com/support/vehicle-maintenance" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the manufacturer</a>, Tesla vehicles require no traditional oil changes. But there is lubricant oil inside every Tesla vehicle&#8217;s drive unit, and Tesla Service Center recommends an oil change every 100,000 miles for some Tesla models.
The oil inside a Tesla is for the reduction gearbox, which is attached to both the rear and front electric drive units. It needs lubricants for smooth operation. In recent vehicles, Tesla added an oil filter to these units to further improve their performance and lifetime. Earlier reports show that some Tesla drive unit gearboxes accumulated metal particles that caused malfunction. An oil filter was placed onto newer versions of the motor. Some say you will never need an oil change with a Tesla, but the fact that there is a filter for the oil and a filling hole, it&#8217;s best for us to be prepared.
<h2>How Often You Need to Change Your Tesla&#8217;s Oil and Oil Filter?</h2>
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-32444" src="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/tesla-model-3-y-oil-filter.jpg" alt="" width="761" height="614" srcset="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/tesla-model-3-y-oil-filter.jpg 761w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/tesla-model-3-y-oil-filter-300x242.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 761px) 100vw, 761px" />
If you own a Tesla Model S or Model X built before 2021, your EV&#8217;s drive units might not come with an oil filter. As a result, the oil inside the motor should be changed every 100,000 miles for these vehicles. That&#8217;s the official recommendation of the Tesla Service Center.
If your vehicle is a 2021 or newer Model S/X, or a Model 3/Y, your electric motor&#8217;s lubricant will last longer than 100,000 miles, because Tesla puts an oil filter into its newer drive units to maintain lubricant&#8217;s quality for hundreds of thousands of miles. Replacing the filter will cost $25-40, whereas changing the transmission oil will set you back around $150-200.

Do Teslas Need Oil Change? | Tesla Maintenance Guide

Regenerative braking technology is a bliss for the efficiency of <a href="https://www.licarco.com/cars">all-electric vehicles</a>. But it takes time to get used to this helpful feature. Sometimes it gets annoying or makes no sense on some occasions. There is an option to turn it off, but things get complicated with <a href="https://www.licarco.com/news/how-many-tesla-cars-have-been-sold">Tesla vehicles</a>. Let us explain.
If you want to turn off regenerative braking on your Tesla, you probably won&#8217;t find any disabling option in the menu. Because turning off regenerative braking is not possible on a Tesla. It is also impossible to adjust the regen on Tesla vehicles built since Q2 2020. Tesla Model S/3/X/Y vehicles built before that date can still be able to offer adjustments. You just need to navigate through the main screen and go to Driving, then change the &#8216;Regenerative Braking&#8217; to &#8216;Low&#8217; for reducing the level of regenerative braking.
Newer Tesla vehicles come with standard level regen as default. There is no &#8216;Regenerative Braking&#8217; adjustment option anymore. So, why wouldn&#8217;t Tesla allow its drivers to adjust regenerative braking? The main reason is that the vehicle range is heavily affected by not being able to recuperate the energy you otherwise lost to heat, etc by pressing the brake pedal. Other automakers agree with Tesla as well. According to <a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://electrek.co/2018/08/08/audi-e-tron-quattro-electric-suv-range-regen-braking/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Audi</a>, regenerative braking can extend the range by up to 30% on average. Soon, every new electric vehicle on the market will probably remove the option to adjust regenerative braking for the sake of efficiency.
<h2>How to Adjust Regenerative Braking on Tesla Model Y/3 and Model S/X?</h2>
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-32384" src="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Tesla-regen-braking-options-e1603823866425-1024x576.webp" alt="" width="750" height="422" srcset="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Tesla-regen-braking-options-e1603823866425-1024x576.webp 1024w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Tesla-regen-braking-options-e1603823866425-300x169.webp 300w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Tesla-regen-braking-options-e1603823866425-768x432.webp 768w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Tesla-regen-braking-options-e1603823866425.webp 1088w" sizes="(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px" />
If you drive a Tesla vehicle built before Q2 2022, your car&#8217;s main screen comes with an option to adjust regenerative braking. You just need to go to settings, then select the &#8216;Driving&#8217; menu from the left and change the &#8216;Regenerative Braking&#8217; option to &#8216;Low&#8217; for partially turning off the regen.
You won&#8217;t be able to turn off this feature. There is, however, a way to heavily limit the effects of regen braking. Here&#8217;s how:
<h3>Why Does Regenerative Braking Limited on My Tesla?</h3>
If you live in a cold area or your battery is fully charged, your Tesla vehicle would warn you about the regenerative braking is being limited. That&#8217;s because the battery is unable to receive the energy from the regen system and the battery&#8217;s management system temporarily turns off the regenerative braking feature. It might take up to half an hour for your vehicle to recover from that. In order to reduce the negative effects of this limitation, you can enable an extra feature for automatically applying the brake pedals instead of regen braking. Just go to Controls &gt; Pedals &amp; Steering, then turn on the &#8216;Apply Brakes When Regenerative Braking is Limited&#8217; option.
<h3>Does Regenerative Braking Work on Icy/Snowy Roads?</h3>
Not being able to turn off regenerative braking might sound dangerous on icy/snowy roads, but Tesla has a solution for this. In 2022, Tesla adjusted the traction control software of its vehicles and added a hidden snow mode. Its main function is to better handle regen braking adjustments on icy roads and snow. Take a look at the video down below for more detail.

How to Turn Off Regenerative Braking on a Tesla?

The idea of owning an electric car has become more and more popular with the increasing fuel prices. Electric vehicles, which provide the opportunity to travel at a much lower cost than an ordinary gasoline/diesel vehicle thanks to the possibility of charging at home, have now been accepted as an important alternative in many countries. In this article, we gathered around 10 reasons why you should get an electric car.
Electric cars are way more efficient than ICE vehicles, and ultimately cost less to drive. The maintenance is relatively cheaper than most gasoline/diesel cars on the market, according to <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/jimgorzelany/2022/10/06/by-the-numbers-what-it-costs-to-maintain-an-electric-vehicle/#:~:text=According%20to%20the%20federal%20Office,a%20conventional%20ICE%2Dpowered%20ride.">official US data</a>. Because there are only a few moving parts that could wear over time. Thus, there is no need for regular oil and filter changes. Thanks to regenerative braking, brake discs and brake pads will also last longer. By owning an EV, you will not only reduce the cost of owning a vehicle but also enjoy high performance all-electric driving experience. 
<h3 style="font-size: 2em;">1. Low Energy Cost</h3>
An electric vehicle owner only needs electricity as a fuel instead of gasoline and diesel. The fact that the kWh unit price of electricity is 13.73 cents, according to the March 2022 electricity tariff, shows that the fuel/energy costs of electric vehicles are much lower than gasoline/diesel cars.
An average electric vehicle consumes between 15 and 23 kWh of electricity per 62 miles/100 kilometers. In the case of charging at home, the cost will be in the range of 3.3-5.1 cents per mile/1.6 kilometers on average. Although ultra-fast EV charging stations are more expensive, it is possible to say that even in the case of DC fast charging, the cost will be around 35 cents per kWh, and it will still be much cheaper than the current fuel prices.
<h3 style="font-size: 2em;">2. More Efficient Engine</h3>
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-8407" src="https://apidb.voll-stack.de/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/tesla-electric-motor-model-s-live-1024x506.webp" alt="" width="750" height="371" srcset="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/tesla-electric-motor-model-s-live-1024x506.webp 1024w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/tesla-electric-motor-model-s-live-300x148.webp 300w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/tesla-electric-motor-model-s-live-768x380.webp 768w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/tesla-electric-motor-model-s-live-1536x759.webp 1536w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/tesla-electric-motor-model-s-live-1568x775.webp 1568w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/tesla-electric-motor-model-s-live.webp 1600w" sizes="(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px" />
Efficiency in ordinary gasoline and diesel engines varies between 20% and 40%. In other words, almost only 1/5 of the fuel can affect the movement of the vehicle. However, the efficiency rate rises above 90% in electric motors.
The highly efficient electric motors need several times less energy for the same exertion compared to the equivalent gasoline/diesel vehicles. Although the efficiency of the earlier EV models decreased significantly at higher speeds, this problem was mostly eliminated by the newly developed electric motors, inverters, and multi-speed electric vehicle transmissions.
<h3 style="font-size: 2em;">3. Cheaper Maintenance</h3>
Gasoline/diesel vehicles have hundreds of moving parts. In a typical electric car, the number of moving parts is no more than a few. For this reason, the routine maintenance cost of the electric vehicle is also very low.
There is no engine lubricant, oil filters, fuel strainers, timing belt, circulation pump, engine water, or similar elements that need to be changed on regular basis in electric vehicles.
<h3 style="font-size: 2em;">4. High Performance</h3>
<iframe loading="lazy" title="YouTube video player" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Ujp3q_aryRA" width="850" height="478" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>
Electric vehicles provide higher performance than gasoline and diesel-powered cars. Electric motors weighing less than a person can produce hundreds of Newton meters of torque as soon as the driver steps on the pedal, and reach 200+ horsepower figures much more easily.
The fastest mass-production car title today belongs to the <a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.licarco.com/2021-tesla-model-s-plaid" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tesla Model S Plaid</a> in the favor of high-performance advantage of electric vehicles. Tesla&#8217;s luxury electric sedan can accelerate from 0 to 60 miles per hour in 1.99 seconds, or from 0 to 100 km/h in exactly 2.1 seconds.
<h3 style="font-size: 2em;">5. Noiseless, Odorless, Vibration Free</h3>
Electric cars, which do not need an internal combustion engine with hundreds of moving parts to move, emit minimal vibration and don&#8217;t make noise while operating. Moreover, since they do not consume fossil fuels, such vehicles with zero emissions offer a much more comfortable driving experience than gasoline/diesel vehicles.
<h3 style="font-size: 2em;">6. Regenerative Braking</h3>
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-9821 size-large" src="https://apidb.voll-stack.de/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/DT_Regen-braking_Infographic_AW-1-1024x479.jpg" alt="" width="750" height="351" srcset="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/DT_Regen-braking_Infographic_AW-1-1024x479.jpg 1024w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/DT_Regen-braking_Infographic_AW-1-300x140.jpg 300w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/DT_Regen-braking_Infographic_AW-1-768x359.jpg 768w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/DT_Regen-braking_Infographic_AW-1-1536x719.jpg 1536w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/DT_Regen-braking_Infographic_AW-1-2048x958.jpg 2048w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/DT_Regen-braking_Infographic_AW-1-1568x734.jpg 1568w" sizes="(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px" />
Regenerative braking, which is first used in hybrid vehicles, and later in electric vehicles, means that the electric motor is used for braking by operating in reverse. There are two important advantages of this feature. Firstly; with regenerative braking, the energy that is normally lost by turning into heat is converted into electrical energy by the reverse operation of the electric motor, and as a result battery can be charged. Latter; prolonging the service life of brake discs and brake pads utilizing regenerative braking. EVs need less traditional braking, thanks to this feature.
Elon Musk claimed that by dint of regenerative braking, <a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.licarco.com/cars?filter=tesla" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tesla</a> vehicles will not need brake disc and pad replacement throughout their lifetime with a healthy driving habit, a message he shared on his Twitter account in 2018.
<h3 style="font-size: 2em;">7. Safer Drive</h3>
There are no flammable fossil fuels in the electric vehicle and there is no engine that moves by detonating this fuel. Instead, the electric vehicle, which has a more stable electric motor and a battery pack placed on the vehicle floor, is safer in terms of the risk of ignition.
A <a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.autoinsuranceez.com/gas-vs-electric-car-fires/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">study</a> conducted in the USA reveals that the risk of fire is 0.025% for every 100,000 electric vehicles sold. According to the same research, this rate is 1.5% in gasoline/diesel vehicles while the risk of fire is much higher at 3.4% in hybrid vehicles.
Another factor that makes electric vehicles safe is the shift of the center of gravity towards the lower and middle parts of the vehicle by the dint of the battery pack placed on the floor and the absence of a heavy engine at the front. In this way, the driving safety is increased and the electric vehicle provides better road handling.
<h3 style="font-size: 2em;">8. Longer Lasting</h3>
The number of moving parts in an electric vehicle is quite low as mentioned in the third advantage. Moreover, electric cars operate at much lower temperatures unlike gasoline/diesel vehicles, whose operating temperature reaches up to 220 Celcius degrees. Thus, mechanical wear is minimized.
Electric vehicles, which do not have any parts other than the gearbox that need to be lubricated, have very few parts that wear out over time and affect the lifetime of the vehicle. The <a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.licarco.com/news/how-long-electric-car-battery-last-battery-replacement-cost" target="_blank" rel="noopener">electric vehicle battery</a> can also store the energy to run a vehicle at a reasonable capacity (at least 70%) for at least 10 years, in some cases up to 20 years. It will be possible to use electric vehicles for several million kilometers with the prolongation of the battery life through the developments in lithium-ion battery technologies.
<h3 style="font-size: 2em;">9. Smarter Vehicles</h3>
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-7635 size-large" src="https://apidb.voll-stack.de/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/togg-interior-ces-2022-2wq-1024x683.jpg" alt="" width="750" height="500" srcset="https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/togg-interior-ces-2022-2wq-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/togg-interior-ces-2022-2wq-300x200.jpg 300w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/togg-interior-ces-2022-2wq-768x512.jpg 768w, https://api.dolubatarya.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/togg-interior-ces-2022-2wq.jpg 1120w" sizes="(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px" />
The &#8216;smart car&#8217; trend, pioneered by China is a sign that electric vehicles are not just about using a different powertrain and energy source. In-vehicle systems, in which names such as Tesla, Huawei, and Google invest millions of dollars every year are also the priority of the Turkish automobile manufacturer Togg. In this context, it is aimed to create virtual driver IDs known as Togg ID, and to perform many transactions with this digital ID system.
According to analysts, who predict that cars will get smarter with the transformation of electric vehicles, with the spread of autonomous driving in the near future. Vehicle owners will complete their work, shop, play games, spend time on social media, or watch TV series/movies while traveling in the vehicle instead of holding the steering wheel, shifting gears, or pedaling. In order to realize these scenarios, both autonomous driving technologies and advanced in-vehicle entertainment/infotainment systems are being developed.
An electric vehicle owner should expect not only instant torque performance and low fuel costs but also a full in-car digital experience from his car. The fact that names such as Ford, Renault, and Volvo will include Google&#8217;s Android Auto operating system in all their new vehicles is one of the most remarkable developments in terms of smart car transformation. It seems certain that we will witness similar developments more often as the expectations of potential automobile customers increase.
<h3 style="font-size: 2em;">10. Greener, Environmentally-Friendly</h3>
Passenger vehicles, which cause 8.7% of global carbon dioxide emissions*, are among the sectors that need electrification transformation the most. the environmental impact of automobiles will be significantly reduced via the transition to zero-emission electric vehicles.
The positive impact of electric vehicles on the environment is not limited to emissions. This type of automobile, which does not have a waste oil problem because it does not need an oil change, will reduce water pollution, and also reduce city noise and air pollution.
