That's the most willfully ignorant statement I've seen all week. It's like stating that there's fundamentally no difference between a giant squid and a fruit fly, because both consume organic matter and can propel themselves. Probably the only interchangeable part between the golf cart and the electron electric car is the tire valve stem cover. And most everything else operates on completely different principles, even if superficially they look similar.
- cogman10 1y agoTell me, what's the different principles that an BEV motor uses and a golf cart motor? What's the fundamentally different principle that the battery operates on? Rather than just say "nuh uh". Educate me and other commenters on where the differences lay. Because honestly, I think you're the ignorant one. You think because they are a different shape they have different operating principles. There are differences, obviously, a golf carts doesn't need airbags, HVAC, or crumple zones. However, when it comes to the drive train, about the only fundamental difference is that BEVs have bigger motors and bigger batteries. There's a reason average people have been able to convert their ICE vehicles into BEVs. It's that the most complex part is storing the batteries and attaching the motor. https://youtu.be/dXCTXxL5lr0?si=8FF_5_bkErZVl5UD https://youtu.be/dXCTXxL5lr0?si=8FF_5_bkErZVl5UD
