Here’s How Quickly An EV’s Battery Will Die If You Drive Fast via insideevs.com
Owning an electric car is a bit different from the owning experience of an internal combustion engine vehicle, in the sense that you need to be more mindful of where and for how long you need to charge along the way to your destination. And it’s not a negative point – gas and diesel cars need to stop for refueling, too – it’s just a bit different.
But all of this attention to detail goes to the trash when you have a heavy-footed driver next to you. Enter Alex Kersten of CarThrottle fame and Rory Reid, an ex-presenter on TopGear., the two wanted to find out if driving fast will kill an electric car’s battery. Adding to that, the experiment was done when the temperature was a freezing 26.6 degrees , so I think we all know the answer to that question, but what’s more interesting in the video is how quickly the old, first-generationIn a previous video shot by Rory Reid, where he drove sensibly, he managed to get 66 miles out of the Leaf’s battery, but now, with a heavy foot on the accelerator pedal and a less-than-ideal temperature for the battery, it’s anybody’s guess.
The two, along with the people behind the cameras, place some bets, and nobody seems to think that the car will make it more than 33 miles.
