There is also such a thing as a Yellow Thai curry.

I love that colour.

 

That's the colour of a 911 Turbo toy I had as a kid

Indeed -

 

Are they regenerative callipers?.

Surprised how good it looks in Skoda Rallye Green. Stunning car and best looking EV so far IMHO.

Glad someone else picked that up, clearly has no idea about what makes a car go and stop.....

So you know nothing about EVs then ......right?.

I know that calipers and the ceramic disc braking surfaces do not do the re-gen braking as he was making out.

So we don’t know if there is a regenerative component incorporated in calling assembly?.

 

 

Rapid charging but boring brakes -

That video says brakes are coated to prevent rusting and 90%+ braking will be done via regenerative braking.

 

Whoever said EV brake dust will be an issue obviously have never driven any EV.

If you buy an EV you don’t want ‘performance’ brakes.

So do Scalex EVs have "special tyres" that don't make particulates too?

I wouldn’t have thought high tyre abrasion wouldn’t be much of a problem in The City.

It must be, as City cars and cars just driven in cities, maybe Taxi like cars, or Prius type hybrids as Private hire cars need replacemet tyres just as any car does.

Some more than others.

Rock hard compound ECO tyres might wear slower but others might not.

As it is hopefully more tyres designed to be on EV's will have grip so traction so friction. Hard to see that being there without there being wear.
