How do electric Cars Work? The Tesla Model S doesn’t work like other cars. It’s driven by an electric motor and powered by a lithium Ion battery. From the AC powered induction engine to the DC charged battery, we go over How the electric cars work! It’s Science!

Bart teaches us how cars work by blowing stuff up and cutting things in half. It’s a science show for the car lover who’s easily bored. Join Bart as he explains the science behind everything automotive. This is cars down to the atom. This is Science Garage.

Some of our best videos ever are coming out soon, stay tuned so you won't miss a thing!

Donut Media is at the center of digital media for the next generation of automotive and motorsports enthusiasts. We are drivers, drifters, and car enthusiasts who love to tell stories.

This dude's energy can charge up a Tesla

[Thecain]

“During discharge..”
“EWWW”
😂 love you guys

[KekusMagnus]

"we talked about vaping, check out this episode on the WRX"

LMAO

[khanmbill]

This man singlehandedly covered a whole semesters worth of physics topics 🤯

[shidous]

Bart is simply amazing! Never fails to put a smile on my face while teaching me new things!

"During DISCHARGE..."

*disgusted kids sound effect*

[jackzijdenbos]

Fun Fact:

During WW2, Dutch resistance fighters would ask people they found in enemy lines to say Groningen, Nijmegen and Scheveningen. Only the Dutch can properly produce those sounds.

Great explanation but your explanation about battery capacity is off. Capacity is rated in either Wh (watt hours) or Ah (amp hours). So a Tesla P75 has 75kWh of capacity. That means you can use 75, 000 watts of power in an hour, or 37, 250 watts in 2 hours, etc etc. This also translates to how efficiently you drive. Also a battery can deliver as much current as the load demands. True a lithium cell can deliver 30A but it could also deliver 100A, but will over heat and most like get damaged. So the battery pack in a Tesla will have a BMS or battery management system, to monitor and regulate the amount of current that can be delivered with respect to demand (how hard you stamp your right foot!) and the health of each string of cells in the pack.

Eh hem. At 4:32 the label on the right should read 4A, not 12A. Thank you.

Bart's got the most difficult job among Nolan, James, and Tony of teaching us stuff. He never fails to do so and does it so amazingly!

[iea]

Motor Oil: How They Work
This would be a great episode

[MarshalArnold]

Never realized how enjoyable it is to be shouted at lol. Seriously, love these vids!!

[aaronjaki]

Could Bart explain clutches in his usual hilarious way, I learn more on science garage than I do at school

[leventenagy]

"you can't store electricity"
*capacitors have left the chat*

[kentarohonjo]

Wow this channel has improved so much so fast. I was here since the first Up To Speed, and I must say you guys have really stepped it up. Keep up the good work!

[jpminetos]

Such high production quality! I love Donut and Bart. Science garage is an intuitive way to teach!

[diobrando]

I love it how a Subaru appeared when he said Vapes

[craigs]

Keep up the good work guys. So much detail delivered in such a simple manner. Love your videos.

[maxxas]

so does that mean owning a Tesla is also consider owning a giant vape on wheels?

[KizXii]

The way this guy talks is like Scout from TF2 lmao.
