A lot have been said about self-driving EVs and their features. But what's hardly ever talked about is the EV's battery capacity and other limitations.

Fuel is also cheaper than gasoline. They're also simpler to refuel sans human interaction. EV batts have different power and range variations that present new variables for fleet orchestration. Just like gas-powered cars, electric cars utilize more power as their speed increases. Self-driving cars use energy when they process information. The computers driving the vehicles also process around 11 TV of data per day. Most EVs use lithium-ion batts that hate the cold. That's why some AV shuttle services have been forced to not operate during cold season.
