Yep.

As of when I handed mine back, most fast chargers (excluding the Tesla network) were 43AC/50DC. One assumes they'll have to come up with something new as the chargers increase their rate. Or abandon it completely, which seems quite possible given that they're more or less the only ones that are AC only. Last edited by Doodle; 20th February 2019 at 10:02 PM. |

As our IC cars have engine numbers and these are printed on registration documents etc... do electric cars have motor numbers or similar?

I suppose the serial number is more important with IC engines since it's necessary to tie mileage with the engine as a wear-indicator. With much less moving parts, I suspect wear is less important with EV motors.

On the related subject of renewable energy, this recent TED talk is well worth watching:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N-yALPEpV4w As we rush headlong into renewables, it seems that our misguided attempts to save the planet are actually destroying the environment and doing far more harm than good. And what's worse, we've had the answer to producing clean energy for more than 70 years but we choose to ignore it, rather than strive to perfect it and make it even safer, because a misinformed public opinion has deemed it to be dangerous, dirty and not worthy of consideration.
