Hello members,
There's a lot going on in the electric vehicle world with the world in the grip of a pandemic for some months now, many of our lives have changed. Some of us are spending a lot more time in our cars, but most of us are probably driving a lot less now. Travelling for many have changed from driving downtown to walking down the hall. Likewise, many of our vacation trips are less ambitious as well – the local park instead of the beach or mountains.
Still, EV life goes on and the changes bring new questions to mind -- how much charge should I keep in my battery if I’m not driving, for instance. We are likely to have the answers to the most asked questions ready for reading after a single search. But if you have a new and unique query, feel free to comment and I will be glad to help you out our our fellow members.

- Peugeot 504 E- Legend Concept
Boredom is clearly not part of the PEUGEOT brand's DNA, autonomous does not mean monotonous, and energy transition will not erase 120 years of automotive history.
The Car With No Driver
Concept cars are often an effective way for manufacturers to demonstrate their design and technological know-how. That glimpse into the future is often short-lived, but one concept car that appeared at the 2018 Paris Motor Show is this;
The Peugeot E-Legend Concept which has the ability to switch between autonomous driving and normal drive mode.
The car has four driving modes, with the two autonomous ones seeing the steering wheel retract into the dashboard and opening up access to a 49-inch curved widescreen display. The Soft mode would reduce distractions and disturbances to a minimum, while the Sharp option would be a nightmare scenario of “maximum connection to your digital activity” like social networks. When you do want to drive, Legend mode would be your default, with a Boost mode turning up the driving excitement.

Fully autonomous and connected cars don’t need to be boring
Powered ByThe Peugeot e-Legend concept is powered by a 100 per cent electric power train. With 100 kWh batteries, the engine reaches 800 Nm torque and 340 Kw power distributed to the four-wheel drive. This level of performance makes it sprint from 0-100 kmph in less than 4 seconds and reach a maximum speed of 220 kmph. The range is 600 km according to the WLTP protocol of which 500 km are accessible in 25 minutes thanks to a fast recharge.
Other Specs
The body is a shade of grey subtly tinted with champagne, extremely tense. Depending on the outside light, the colour changes from a chrome reflecting its entire environment to a polished bronze metal look.
Spread throughout the interior, the digital material is divided into two major themes: Bronze-like line networks or networks of lines imitating cabinetmaking wood. It's broadcast on 16 screens of different sizes, for example: 49 inches curved under the front helm to the occupants, 29 inches in the doors or 12 inches in each sun visor. Digital materials have been the subject of in-depth reflection to fit perfectly and blend into the passenger compartment. The centre console provides access to the main driving controls through a rotary control and a 6-inch touch screen. To the left of the steering wheel, a digital toggle bar is composed of contextual and configurable commands depending on the driving mode.
- Nissan Ariya
The Nissan Ariya will take over for the LEAF as the tip of the automaker’s electric spear.
The new cross over boasts around 400 – 480 kms of range with its largest battery option and the fastest variant will do 0 – 100 in approx. 5.1 seconds.
The biggest news is that it will charge using CCS rather than CHAdeMO (used in LEAF ) to fast charge its liquid-cooled battery pack.
The styling will be subjective since the front of the vehicle is an evolution of the brand’s forward motion V. The interior looks like a pretty sweet place to hang out and there are capacitive buttons embedded in the wood trim.
