Mr.Hacker Posted May 11, 2023 Posted May 11, 2023 SAO CAETANO DO SUL. - If there is a segment that has been growing significantly year after year, it is that of electric vehicles, which closed 2022 with almost 10% of world sales of passenger vehicles, against 8.3% the previous year, according to the consultancy EV Volume. But despite the rapid po[CENSORED]rization of future technology, many people still have doubts about how to drive a vehicle like this, the only one with zero emissions. "In fact, an electric car is even easier to drive than a conventional automatic vehicle," says Luiz Eduardo Martins, director of vehicle engineering for GM South America. Since EVs have a system called One Pedal, it is enough for the driver to relieve the pressure on the accelerator pedal for the vehicle to begin gradual braking, also taking advantage of the energy dissipated in the maneuver to potentiate the autonomy of the batteries. "A button on the dashboard activates this driving mode, and if there is a need for more abrupt braking, the driver must use the conventional brake pedal," explains Martins. Another advantage of electric vehicles is the absence of noise and vibrations from the engine, which makes long trips much more comfortable and pleasant, especially. EVs are also relatively very useful in terms of performance, with powerful starts that make them a lot of fun to drive. This is due to the fact that full engine power is instantly available and there is only one forward gear, which also helps maneuvering back into gear, giving a greater sense of safety when overtaking. https://media.gm.com/media/ec/es/chevrolet/news.detail.html/content/Pages/news/ec/es/2023/mar/0321-electrico.html
