Study: Offer EV And PHEV Buyers Different Battery Sizes:

This article discusses how Tesla has fallen behind in stealing the show in the game when it comes producing Electric Vehicles. A body based in Germany called as the Institute of Vehicle Concepts states that automobile manufacturers should deploy the use of modular batteries that have different storage capacities. At the Tesla S model launch three battery packs were offered - 48Kwh, 60 Kwh and 85 Kwh. Although the smallest battery pack was dropped in a few months time no other EV company thought of implementing this fascinating concept. GM and Nissan propose to do so with the Leaf and the Volt. This is basically a modular design game where components can be swapped to accommodate different bodies, equipments or drive-trains. The modular batteries come in three configurations- low, medium and high. This gives automobile manufacturers the chance to resolve issues facing adaptability to extreme weather conditions.
