The modular design will allow from six to twenty-four battery modules under the floor, depending on energy storage requirements. [12] Premium vehicles that use the BEV3 platform have the option of a 4–6 in (100–150 mm) larger dash-to-axle ratio, [ a ] resulting in a longer hood that is intended to recall the classic proportions of personal ...
In automobile engineering, electric vehicle conversion is the replacement of a car's combustion engine and connected components with an electric motor and batteries, to create a battery electric vehicle (BEV). There are two main aims for converting an internal combustion engine vehicle (aka combustion vehicle) to run as a battery-electric vehicle.
A battery electric vehicle (BEV), pure electric vehicle, only-electric vehicle, fully electric vehicle or all-electric vehicle is a type of electric vehicle (EV) that uses electrical energy exclusively from an on-board battery pack to power one or more electric traction motors, on which the vehicle solely relies for propulsion.
The term "electric car" typically refers specifically to battery electric vehicles (BEVs) or all-electric cars, a type of electric vehicle (EV) that has an onboard rechargeable battery pack that can be plugged in and charged from the electric grid, and the electricity stored on the vehicle is the only energy source that provide propulsion for ...

[71] Electric Car Distance Record 1,725 miles (2,776 km) in 24 hours by Bjørn Nyland. [72] Greatest distance by electric vehicle, single charge 999.5 miles (1,608.5 km).
Hyundai E-GMP skateboard platform. A skateboard is a type of configuration for automotive chassis, used for automotive platforms of battery electric vehicles.The skateboard chassis includes a base structure or a platform, which houses the batteries, electric motors and other electronic components fundamental to an electric vehicle.
The MEB platform is part of a Volkswagen strategy to start production of new battery electric vehicles between 2019 and 2025. [4] In 2017, the VW Group announced a gradual transition from combustion engine to battery electric vehicles with all 300 models across 12 brands having an electric version by 2030. [5]
A parking area with an overhead electrical net was in use at Seoul Grand Park Zoo in South Korea, to recharge electric vehicles [citation needed], This was similar to a fairground bumper car arrangement which allowed vehicle batteries to be recharged, prior to introduction of the more modern OLEV Online Electric Vehicle system.
