How much more efficient are electric vehicles?

One of the big surprises people have when they drive an electric vehicle is just how fast they can go.
In fact, around 80% of the energy stored in the battery is actually translated into the movement of the wheels, which is why they are great in terms of sustainability.
In this episode of ‘Debunks’, the new podcast series from the Cosmos newsroom team and Nine Podcasts, science journalist Ellen Phiddian gets into the driver’s seat on Australia’s long road towards electric vehicle uptake to learn whether they have any real limitations; and explore just how far they can go.
Listen to Debunks now where ever you get your podcasts.
