Tesla’s coefficient drag and aerodynamic design have propelled it to the top of the EV market. Tesla has cornered the market on range with 330 miles for its Model 3. Adding hard tires will add more miles, too. A 62 kW pack would bump up it to about 210 miles. With a 24 kW pack battery, a car can go about 80 miles on a charge.
Charging a battery slowly may take longer, but it will ultimately save a car battery, he said. The faster one charges a battery, the more dendrites are created, depleting the energy capacity in the battery. Every time you charge a battery a dendrite grows, taking energy away from the battery cell, Coles said. Slow charging is key for battery lifeĭendrites in lithium batteries are the enemy. He doesn’t plan on slowing down anytime soon. “They sent in hospice to wrap things up, yet I’m still here,” Lake said. In 1995, doctors diagnosed Lake with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, finding tumors in his lungs and breast, and gave him only a few weeks to live. The chemicals and contaminants used in his chosen profession, however, took a toll on his slender frame. The business passed down to Lake’s parents, and then himself, as he learned everything he could about cars and eventually specialized in high-end body work. “A two-car garage in the middle of nowhere,” Lake said. Thus, Auto Archives began in Yorklyn, Delaware. “She liked electric cars because they didn’t scare her horses,” Lake said. Lake gives credit to his grandmother, who started the Lake family business in 1929. “Joe Biden’s father fell in love with it. “It wasn’t real pretty, but it worked,” Lake said. He built his first electric car at age 12, using a washing machine motor, and catching the attention of Joe Biden Sr., a fellow car enthusiast, neighbor and friend of Lake’s family. “I was always fascinated by electric cars,” said 67-year-old Lake. They soon realized that they had the same vision for an electric vehicle future. “People put us together through word of mouth,” Coles said. The men met two years ago through a Delaware electric car club where electric vehicle enthusiasts can talk shop.
The Delaware native is taking his lifelong passion for electric vehicles, and with his business partner Gregory Coles, also an electric car enthusiast, the two are hoping to transform the automotive world. Jonathan Lake was diagnosed with terminal cancer and given a few weeks to live.
