Assessing the condition of an EV battery easy. However, there are two main indications we can use: state of charge (SOC), and state of health (SOH).  State of charge  State of charge is a measure of t ...

Charging an EV is clearly important. Because of this, the ‘lack of public’ charging is often stated as the reason many people will not yet buy an electric vehicle (EV). There is, however, a level of m ...

The term kilowatt hour (kWh or kW-h) is often used in connection with electric vehicle batteries, but also to household electricity supply. Before I explain in detail what this means, we need to clear ...

In the previous article Tom Denton described equipotential bonding (EPB) as the process of connecting all metalwork and conductive parts, of various components, so that the voltage is the same through ...

Equipotential bonding (EPB) is the process of electrically connecting metalwork and conductive parts, so that the voltage is the same throughout these various parts (an equal potential). EPB is used t ...

In this instalment of the EV series Tom Denton discusses how EVs actually function. After focusing on the motor in the last article, I thought I would outline how EVs actually work in general. In any ...
