Cringe-worthy seeing all these newbs pointing their cameras

@XXXMoodiboyXXX Why? People like Top Gear, and they'd like to show their friends the fact that they were in their town doing something relatively interesting.

More efficient in the way that a 3 phase electric motor has an efficiency rate of 90% and an ICE has a maximum of 20%...

And the electric power can also be stored in other ways apart from chemical batteries.

I just want to say that I am a massive petrolhead, but I do also think that electric cars are the new way forward in mass transportation.

I like the sound of an engine, shifting gears, etc. but doesn't mean I'm also going to ignore the potential problems of the future...

I wanted to say that it kinda ruins the show that everyone knows who they are now but after seeing this it just seems like they are back in the studio... just outside

Hello.

[creamyfilling102]

@kixxclub have you done research on it? the range really depends on what type of driving you're doing. in the right urban conditions you can get up to 130 miles, but on the highway some people were getting only 60 miles when they planned for that 100. it's not as easy as it looks. 100 miles isn't a guarantee.

They started with charge left for 30 miles on a 60 mile trip. They willfully do this disinformation. They earn money from the petrol industry. Or maybe they do it because they prefer dirty combustion engines.
