[QUOTE="johnb2713, post: 541973, member: 35153"] Your probably right. Essentially, EV's are very simple and they truly are. Theres a motor, a speed controller and a battery with a charger and thats it, thats all there is. People fear the unknown and there really is no need. In the case of the i3, the speed controller is housed in the motor terminal box, the charger is in there too. The high voltage cable from the battery plugs into the motor along with canbus. Theres no gearbox, no catalytic converter, no clutch etc, it really is NOT complicated when you compare it to a modern IC engined car - Fuel injectors, MAF's, Fuel Pressure, Fuel pump, Water temp sensor, Crank Position sensor, Lambda sensors, ignition coils, alternator, cambelts, water pumps, EGR the list goes on and thats just the engine, the transmission can have many sensors too. Diesel adds the complication of DPF and Adblue etc. [/QUOTE]
