We hope to drive our current vehicle for ten more years. Probably electric after that.

There is usually a 12V and then the lithium battery of many, many cells. And they may not all be lithium now. I can't remember. I think there are two main types.So how many batteries does an electric car have? Just the one or are there more with the same or different functions?

We really need an emoji spitting coffee all over our faces!I'd drive one if it looked like a pork bun
Why the two batteries? Why not just one?There is usually a 12V and then the lithium battery of many, many cells. And they may not all be lithium now. I can't remember. I think there are two main types.

From LFP to solid‑state, see how battery chemistry affects performance, charging, and price so you can make a smarter EV choicewww.greencars.com
They show solid state as in development but Chinese maker Chery has shipped one and more are expected in the near future.

IIRC, the 12V does standard car battery stuff like the lights, dash display, and audio. The L-ion powers the electric motors. Else you'd need a whole converter system to use power from the L-Ion for the standard car battery stuff. But that's just going on vague memory. Someone else might correct me.Why the two batteries? Why not just one?
Everyday Iranians and Iranian Canadians want regime change and are cheering the US-Israeli military strikes on their country. Canadians want Iranians to be free, too, but many are not happy to be helping the US and Israel start another war in the region. Is that correct to say? Confusing times.
I've been waiting for the gas savings provided by the government to offer some relief at the pumps. Wondering why I haven't really noticed much difference. Apparently the more expensive summer gas prices kicked on April 15th (10¢L), so it has basically cancelled out the savings from the gov't incentive.
Or looking at it another way, we could be 10 cents more a litre on what we're paying now.....even though it does feel like it's just staying at the same price range we've been paying.
