This video shows exactly how an electric motor and battery are far superior to the gasoline engine when it comes to vehicles. I won’t deny that the internal combustion engine has served us very well for over 100 years, but like Bob Dylan said “Times they are a-changin”. You may have seen a recent video of a frustrated Tesla owner blowing up his 2013 Model S with dynamite because Tesla quoted him $22,000 for an out of warranty battery pack replacement. Obviously that is a very expensive repair bill, but that’s not an accurate depiction of reality for most EV owners especially with newer electric vehicles since that one that was blown to bits was nearly 10 years old. An EV battery is actually a proven technology and under current estimates, most EV batteries should last somewhere between 10-20 years before they need to be replaced. My Long Range Tesla Model 3 has a battery and drive unit warranty of 8 years or 120,000 miles, whichever comes first, with a minimum 70% retention of battery capacity over the warranty period. This might sound surprising to you if you’ve ever experienced your smartphone take a battery life hit after just a couple of years, but phone batteries are not the same as car batteries. Each of these charge cycles counts against the life of the battery, and after hundreds of full cycles, a lithium-ion phone battery begins to lose a significant part of the capacity compared to when it was new. My 2018 Tesla Model 3 is almost 4 years old, and it still has a rated range of 301 miles which is only 9 miles less than when I got it brand new. Based on the battery and drive unit warranties that come with EVs along with the technological advancements, an EV battery will most likely never need to be replaced during the ownership of the car. And given the steady decline of lithium ion battery costs, even if a battery replacement is needed in the future after the warranty expires, the price should be much cheaper than it is today. Internal combustion engine vehicles generally run at about 20% efficiency, meaning that 80% of the energy content of their fuel is wasted, compared to EVs which put about 80% of their input energy into turning the wheels. An easy way to understand this is to think of it like this: a combustion engine creates heat with a side effect of motion, while electric motors create motion with a side effect of heat. The EV motor creates heat while creating motion just like a gas engine generates heat when creating motion but with different means and with vastly improved efficiencies. While gas engines tend to perform better at very high speeds, most legal speed limits are no more than 75 miles per hour which gives no advantage to gas cars. Electric vehicles, on the other hand, are able to accelerate much more quickly which comes in handy for daily driving tasks such as merging or passing instead of having a useless top speed that will most likely never be used.
