Name three cons for electric cars.
More expensive
Less distance
Can take longer to “refuel”
Can be hard to find charging stations
Indirect pollution

True or False, a gas powered car was the first vehicle to break the 100 km/h land speed record.
False
200
The name of the federal program that rebates BEVs, PHEVs and FCEV is called this.
What is iZEV?
200
What is this an image of?
What is Tesla battery cell (4680 or 2170)
300
How do EVs indirectly pollute the earth?
The process to produce the electricity to charge the cars uses fossil fuels and has carbon emissions and/or the mining and manufacturing.
300
How many kms per hour does a level 2 charger give on average?

The tires that generally come stock on electric vehicles are plain, no-name tires and have no defining characteristics.
False - most EVs ship with "low rolling resistance tires" which are better for efficiency but lack slightly in performance.
400
Used BEVs get this rebate amount and used PHEVs get this rebate amount.
What is $2000 and $1000?

These 3 characteristics of electricity make up the formula for power.
What are: W, V, and A
OR W, I and V.
In this formula, P is power, measured in watts, I is the current, measured in amperes, and V is the potential difference (or voltage drop) across the component, measured in volts. A lot of times this is also displayed as W = V * A or watts equals volts multiplied by amps.
