Virtually every automaker on the planet is now using or actively developing technologies designed to sway automobiles from their reliance on fossil fuel burning internal combustion engines. While progress is being made, fossil fuels remain the primary source of power for most engines, and in the fossil fuel game, a decades-long debate continues to rage regarding whether diesel or gasoline engines are the better option for most cars.

An electric vehicle’s largest, most important and most expensive component is its high-voltage battery pack. Many newer bespoke EVs are built around their battery pack, and some have even incorporated it as an integral part of their chassis structure. The battery pack must store the vast amounts of electricity required by an EV, not only to provide enough power for daily driving but also to ensure a sufficient range to minimize the owners' charging anxiety.

While Ford has pushed back its EV ambitions for a more balanced approach, it recently launched the Ford Explorer EV in Europe and is about the officially debut its closely related sibling next month.

The first time my family walked into a Ponderosa Steakhouse was in the late 1960s. It was new and the experience was great. Like other new restaurants, if the management doesn't stay on top, the quality of service can decline. The location we went to did change through the years, but in the beginning, it was great.

While it might be true that electric vehicles prioritize economy and environmental friendliness, it goes without saying that they sure can offer a visceral and untamed driving experience with instant acceleration unlike any other. This includes even daily driveable cars such as Tesla's Model S 'Plaid' and Lucid's Air 'Sapphire' trims. Nevertheless, in a recent Top Gear interview with Lamborghini's CTO Rouven Mohr, the executive claimed that the venerable supercar manufacturer's future electric offerings will not be focusing on acceleration alone, but rather on the maneuverability and driving emotion that the raging bull is known for.

Sign up for daily news updates from CleanTechnica on email. Or follow us on Google News!. I have been writing about the EV revolution for well over a decade now. When I started, battery-electric cars were few and far between. The BMW i3 was the eighth wonder of the modern world, and the Nissan LEAF was just beginning to attract buyers. In 2008, the Chevy Volt plug-in hybrid appeared and ignited the debate about which was better, a fully electric car or one that had both an engine and a battery? The Volt seemed the perfect answer for a time when there were few if any public chargers available. No charger? No problem. Let the gasoline engine do the work until you could plug in somewhere, usually at home.
