With a top speed of 258 mph, the Rimac Nevera stands as king of EVs. It blows every other production electric car out of the water, making 1400 hp thanks to four electric motors, one for each wheel.

Electric cars are not the solution But lower doesn't mean zero either. Indeed, fully electric vehicles do not emit waste products but the batteries that supply energy to the vehicle are made of minerals like lithium and cobalt which have an impact on climate change.

The most essential role of the 12V battery has been to provide a reservoir of power for loads that require a lot of power. The typical load in a vehicle will have two types of current draw—one for start-and one for steady-state operation.

Torque measures engine strength expressed in pounds per foot. Electric engines have the edge on torque. They also shine when it comes to acceleration. Electric vehicles go from 0 to 60 miles per hour faster than gas powered cars.
