400 or 800 Which should you choose 1080p
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.
00:00 - Introduction
02:15 - Editorial note
03:12 - History - 400 and 800.
07:01 - A quick physics lesson
08:28 - Pipes to cables
12:23 - If 800 Volt is better... why aren't people using it?
17:12 - Which should you use?
19:30 - Thanks, and Goodbye!
