Like other electric and hybrid-electric vehicles, BEVs minimize wasted energy by turning the car off when stopped (“idle-off”) and by charging the battery when braking (“regenerative braking”). Electric motors are also inherently more energy-efficient than gasoline or diesel engines.
ELECTRIC CARS
Battery electric cars run entirely on electricity and can be significantly cleaner than gas-powered vehicles.
Battery electric cars have the added benefit of home recharging. A 240-volt outlet, similar to those used for clothes dryers, can charge a vehicle overnight. Fully-charged, most battery electric cars have a driving range of between 70 to 100 miles, well within the day-to-day range requirements of most Americans, though some BEVs can go up to 265 miles on a single charge. An increasing number of public and workplace charging stations provide added charging capacity.
More subjectively, many drivers appreciate the driving experience provided by all-electric cars. Electric motors generate near-instant torque, or turning-force, while the torque of internal combustion engines increases in tandem with the engine’s revolutions (RPM). This means that BEVs have extremely fast acceleration and a “light” or “zippy” feel compared to conventional cars and trucks.
Quality 9: Positive Self-Awareness Total winners are aware of their power. They understand that they can be anything with enough effort and determination. Self-awareness is the key cornerstone to emotional intelligence, according to Daniel Goleman. The ability to monitor our emotions and thoughts from moment to moment is key to understanding ourselves better, being at peace with who we are and proactively managing our thoughts, emotions, and behaviours. In addition, self-aware people tend to act consciously rather than react passively, to be in good psychological health and to have a positive outlook on life. They also have greater depth of life experience and are more likely to be more compassionate to themselves and others . A number of researches have shown self-awareness as a crucial trait of successful business leaders. In a study undertaken by Green Peak Partners and Cornell University examining 72 executives at public and private companies with rev...
Become genuinely interested in other people When you’re in conversations with people, give the other person the spotlight. Avoid getting into social situations just to talk about yourself. Give others the moment to shine and allow them to talk about thems - Think of everybody as a different novel with a story you have yet to uncover. Everyone comes from different walks of life which is pretty fascinating. - Based off of my last point, since everyone comes from different walks of life, everyone offers a different perspective in regards to how they view the world. Getting to know people different than you allows you to expand your knowledge of the world you live in. - I think when we give the other person the attention they deserve it allows us to become more interested in them. Give them consistent eye contact, and maintain open body language. Listen closely to what they are saying and ask relevant questions based on what they said.
