Njengoba isihloko salezi zindaba sisho ukuzimela kwezimoto zikagesi kukhuphuke ngaphezu kwamaphesenti angama-50 eminyakeni eyisithupha, futhi yize kuyiqiniso ukuthi kubonakala kuyisikhathi eside ukuzuza ukwanda ngamaphesenti angama-50 ebangeni lezimoto, empeleni kuyisiqephu solwazi esibalulekile embonini.
Iqiniso ukuthi ukuphatha ukwandisa izibalo zokuzimela ngamabhethri amanje kuyinto enzima ukuyenzela imboni yezimoto. Kungalesi sizathu-ke kufanele sihalalisele futhi qhubeka uphenye izinketho ezitholakalayo eminyakeni ezayo ukwandisa lokhu kuzimela ezimotweni zikagesi.
Ukukhuphuka kwangempela kwamakhilomitha cishe kungama-65. Le datha ihlinzekwa nguMnyango Wezamandla wase-United States futhi ingeza ukuzimela okungamaphesenti angama-56 ezimotweni ezisuka ngonyaka odlule wezi-2011 kuze kube namuhla. Phakathi kwazo, ukuzimela okumangazayo njengaleyo yamamodeli we I-Tesla enamandla kakhulu efinyelela, ngokusho komkhiqizi, ubuningi bama-540 km ngaphandle kwenkokhiso eyengeziwe noma elula kunazo zonke ukuzungeza idolobha njengeSmart ForTwo, 100% kagesi ofinyelela ibanga elingamakhilomitha ayi-100.
Amakhasi nemidiya ekhethekile efana ne- Electrek uxwayise ngokuthi yize kuyiqiniso ukuthi ukwanda kokuzimela kulezi zimoto kuhle ukubala isikhathi kuze kube namuhla, konke lokhu kuzothuthuka kakhulu eminyakeni emibili kuya kwemibili ezayo kuvusa inzalo enkulu kubasebenzisi yokuthengwa kwalezi zimoto, nakho kuzosiza i ucwaningo nentuthuko ukwenza ngcono impilo yebhethri. Kuthiwa lokhu kuzimela okujwayelekile njengamanje (183 km) kungaphindwa kabili eminyakeni eyishumi ezayo kuye kuma-320 km ngokwesilinganiso kuzo zonke izinhlobo.
Kumele kucace ukuthi ziningi izinto ezithinta ngqo ukuzimela kwalezi zimoto futhi kunengqondo ukuthi uma kwehliswa ijubane, ukuzimela kukhulu, amandla e-aerodynamics angcono, ukuzimela kangcono, ukwehlisa isisindo, ngcono ukuzimela futhi ngaleyo ndlela kube nedlanzana elihle lezinye izici. Kepha okubalulekile kukho konke lokhu ukuthi yonke imininingwane iyaqhubeka nokwenza ngcono futhi icwengisiswe lokho kuthonya lokhu kuzimela okwandayo ezimotweni zikagesi.
