Curb weight (a.k.a. kerb weight) is the EV mass with standard equipment, liquids (oils and fuel at nominal tank capacity) but without cargo and passengers. In some EU countries, the curb weight also includes the weight of a 75 kg (165 lb) driver.

GVWR stands for gross vehicle weight rating and is also known as gross vehicle mass (GVM). It describes the maximum operating weight of the electric car including the curb weight and payload (accessories, equipment, driver, passengers and cargo).

The drag coefficient or coefficient of drag is related to the car's aerodynamics as it denotes the resistance to the air of the front surface of the vehicle when it is in movement. The lower the coefficient, the better aerodynamics the model has. Ultimately, this allows for higher speeds and improved power efficiency.

The name of the manufacturer of the electric motor.

The model name of the electric motor.

The electric motor category according to the type of motor commutation. Most electric motors operate on magnetism and can be powered by direct current (DC) or alternating current (AC) sources. Depending on the type of commutation, electric motors are either self-commutated (AC and DC, mechanical or electronic) and externally commutated (AC only, asynchronous or synchronous).

Information about the electric notor's location. The two most common locations are the front and rear of the electric car.

The electric motor voltage is related to how fast a motor can run. The voltage-rotational speed relationship is proportional one - the higher the voltage, the higher the speed.

The power produced by the electric motor depends proportionally on the motor's rotational speed.

Torque is the driving force of an electric motor and is the rotational equivalent of a linear force. A typical feature of electric cars is that they get full torque from zero speed.

Regenerative braking is a typical feature of electric vehicles, in which the electric motor uses the vehicle's kinetic energy to save power or stores it for later use.

Additional details about the electric motor of this model.

The name of the manufacturer of the second electric motor.

The model name of the second electric motor.

Information about the type of the second motor depending on the type of current (AC or DC) and the type of motor commutation. Self-commutated AC and DC motors can be mechanical or electronic and externally commutated motors can be only synchronous or asynchronous AC ones.

Information about the location of the second motor. The most common locations are the front and the rear of the electric vehicle.

Information about the voltage of the second motor. The voltage is propotionally related to the rotational speed (velocity).

Information about the power of the second motor, which is proportionally related to the velocity and ultimately - the motor's voltage.

Information about the velocity (rotational speed) of the second motor when it achieves its maximum power.

Information about the torque of the second electric motor.

Information weather the second electric motor has a regenerative braking capability.

Additional features of the second electric motor.

Very often manufacturers provide information only about the total system power without detailing the power output of each individual electric motor in the system. In most cases, it is the sum of the power output of all electric motors on the vehicle.

More details about the electric motor system of the vehicle.

The top speed that the vehicle can achieve as specified by the manufacturer.

The time in seconds the model needs to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph.

Information about the energy class of the electric vehicle.

Information about the design type of the steering mechanism of the electric car.

Information about the type of power steering used in this model.

Often referred to as turning diameter or turning radius (multiplied by two), this is the smallest diameter that the outside wheels of the vehicle describe when it is turning on full lock.

The number of full rotations made by the steering wheel from lock to lock (from one extreme end to the other).

Information about the type of transmission used by the vehicle. Generally, EVs are equipped with one-speed automatic units.

Information about the type of drivetrain (the system that delivers power to the driving wheels).

The axle ratio a.k.a. final drive ratio of the electric motor. It shows the number of revolutions of the driveshaft needed to spin the axle one complete turn.

Information about the main components of the front suspension of the electric vehicle.

Information about the main components of the rear suspension of the electric vehicle.

Additional details about the suspension of this model.

Information about the type of brakes used on the front wheels.

This indicator refers to the size of the rotor of the front wheels' disc brakes. Larger rotors offer more braking power and resist overheating better.

This indicator refers to the thickness of the rotor of the front wheels' disc brakes. The thicker the disc, the more resilient it is to overheating and warping.

Information about the type of brakes used on the rear wheels.

Also known as the size of the disc brake rotor on the rear wheels. The larger the diameter, the better the heat dissipation and braking power.

This is the thickness of the disc brake rotor on the rear wheels when its new. Rotors wear down over time and should be replaced when they reach their minimum thickness.

Additional details about the brakes of this model.

The capacity of the rechargeable battery that powers this EV as specified by the manufacturer in kilowatt hours.

The name of the company that has manufactured the battery.

The model name/chemistry/cell size of the rechargeable battery.

The type of rechargeable battery depending on its composition.

The specific cathode materials determine the battery's energy density, driving range, safety, and cost.

The anode stores lithium ions during charging and releases them during discharging, generating power.

The EV battery cell nominal voltage depends on the cell chemistry. For example, NCM batteries typically have 3.5-3.7V, while LFP batteries have around 3.2V

The EV battery cell cutoff voltage is the minimum voltage a cell should maintain when fully discharged. Dropping below this level will damage the cell.

The battery voltage denotes the difference in electric potential between the positive and negative electrodes of the pack. The higher difference in potential results in a higher voltage.

In general, energy density shows the energy stored in a certain space per unit volume. In the context of batteries, the energy density is actually the specific energy (energy per unit mass) measured in watt-hours per kilogram (Wh/kg).

Information about the position of the battery pack in the electric vehicle.

Information about the type of battery cooling on this specific model.

Manufacturer-specified minimum ambient temperature to which the vehicle should not be exposed for more than 24 hours at a time.

Manufacturer-specified maximum ambient temperature to which the vehicle should not be exposed for more than 24 hours at a time
