Electric Vehicles Are In Their Space Race Era

The electric vehicle segment is experiencing its own Space Race era, with the relative infancy of the electric vehicle market breeding a necessity for competition.

Manufacturers across various facets of the EV space have continuously pushed the boundaries and are trying to gain dominance in a still blossoming and developing sector.

The effect of this race is most evident in the performance-crazed arena that was once a niche portion of EV segment populated exclusively by the likes of Tesla 's Model S but is now a segment with a laundry list of titles vying for dominance.

The Rimac Nevera is powered by a lithium Manganese Nickel battery consisting of 6,960 cells that provides the electric hypercar with enough power to spin its motors fast enough to propel it from a standstill to 60 mph in less than 2 seconds .

Supercapacitors have a longer lifespan, can be used at a wider array of temperatures, feature a lower resistance, lower heat loss, and most importantly, higher energy efficiency.

At present, America 's electrical grids are not capable of mass adoption of electric vehicles.

That said, the electric vehicle segment is in its Space Race era, so before completely discounting the possibility of the radical turn of the current situation. Sources: Kelley Blue Book , JENAX, Advancements in Battery Technologies of Electric Vehicles study, Heylion , Tesla ,.
