How good are these vehicles at knowing the amount of juice left in the battery? I'm completely ignorant when it comes to electric car battery technology but I can't help but think about experiences with mobile phones and laptop computers where I have been using them and suddenly lost a large amount of juice for no apparent reason. Either something drained the battery very quickly or the system was miscalculating the amount of energy left.
Anyway, it's one thing for that to happen when I'm browsing reddit, it's another thing when you're cruising down the highway at 70mph.
- dangrossman 13y agoThere are two batteries here -- the lithium ion packs under the car that run the motors, and the 12V lead acid battery that all types of cars have. That's the battery that died, not the fancy lithium one whose capacity is displayed on the dash.
