Batteries only store energy in this current type.
What is Direct Current?
200
Name three cons for electric cars.
More expensive
Less distance
Can take longer to “refuel”
Can be hard to find charging stations
Indirect pollution
200
These electrical currents can be inverted between each other.
What is Direct Current and Alternating Current?
200
True or False, a gas powered car was the first vehicle to break the 100 km/h land speed record.
What is False?
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.

This brand of automaker is number 1 in spending on EV technology globally.
What is Volkswagen.
300
The negative and positive terminals of batteries are called these.
What is anodes and cathodes?

There are 3 major manufacturers committed to building EVs in Canada thus far, name 1.
What is: GM, Ford and Selantis (formerly Fiat - Chrysler).
400
These are the 2 main types of EV battery shapes.
What is pouch and cylinder type cells?
500
EVs use 6X more than ICE vehicles of this common metal.
What is Copper?
500
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.
500
The first company to successfully implement regenerative breaking in a vehicle
What is GM with the EV1
