INTRODUCTION
Welcome to the second edition of Electric Cars - The ultimate guide 2021. My motivation for creating this guide for both potential and current EV users, was the sheer lack of unbiased information that is available on electric cars in thisformat.locate highbrow academic papers focused on just a just a single facet of EVs, or at the opposite end of the scale, very poorly researched and produced manuals, that were so far out of date, that they were by now, consigned to history.
I have owned petrol, diesel and electric cars, and I can say with absolute conviction that the most satisfying to drive, the most economical, the most ecologically friendly and by far the best performing, have been electric cars.
But I will let you be the judge after reading this guide. Ultimately, the first steps in this process is to gather as much information as possible, then draw up a shortlist, followed by a weekend test drive. Only then will you be able to make an informed decision.
I am an electrical engineer by profession and have worked on EV concept designing, prototyping, market testing, production and collaboration. Most recently I have been fortunate to be involved in pioneering EV charging infrastructure, including Europe’s largest 20 bay multi-point battery supported rapid charging centre, based at Heathrow Airport in London.
Having worked in the electric vehicle industry for more than 20 years, I decided to investigate the most up to date information available on electric cars to bring to market an informative guide encompassing the history, technology and buying and running an electric car.
The result is this guide, focused only on pure Battery Electric Cars, powered purely by an integrated battery pack, without any additional assistance or back up, such as Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) hybrids or ICE range extenders. The latter two are in my opinion not the future and are therefore not discussed.
This sector and its technology are changing at such a rapid rate, that I will be producing a new edition of this book at least every two years. The rate of change in the last 10 years has been incredible. We have gone from the rather pedestrian and low rent lead-acid battery powered G-Wizz, with a range of 40 miles and top speed of 50mph, to the current raft of EVs, some of which break the 350-mile real-world range per charge and top out at more than 140mph.
By the time you have read this book, I hope that you will appreciate what an electric car is, how it works, the pros and cons, how far we have come technically and how far we are powering into the future. If you decide to proceed and purchase an electric car, you will have a greater understanding of the potential pitfalls, features, advantages and benefits of owning a piece of 21st century, in-use emission free technology.
Will petrol and diesel powered vehicles be completely replaced by electric vehicles? Many governments, including the UK, have pledged to ban the sale of all new petrol and diesel vans and cars by 2040.
