additional charging time.
3. The sheer weight of the battery pack itself, approximately 200 kg,
has an adverse effect draining power from the battery. A small
battery pack, used in combination with a STaR Range Extender
should suffice, reducing EV weight and power consumption.
4. A battery pack costs about € 20,000. A smaller battery
pack should be enough when used in combination with
a STaR Range Extender, reducing EV costs.
