From Transport Evolved.
There’s a bit of a battle raging in the electric vehicle world – and it’s not over NACS and CCS – it’s about which battery technology should be the dominant one: 400 Volt or 800 Volt?
But what’s the differences between 400 V and 800 V vehicles? Which are which? And are there any advantages or disadvantages in the ultimate choice you make?
Nikki is here to explain some things… along with a little extra help.
