It goes without saying that the charging process is specifically electric: the electronic charge lid actuator (eLA) from HELLA, for example, aids the charging process. With the help of the charge lid actuator, more individual special functions can be integrated for extra comfort and safety. Innovative light components visualise the status of the battery and also the charging mode. And furthermore, there is actually a positive side-effect to be gained from e-cars: they emit hardly any noise. However, this can lead to safety risks for pedestrians and cyclists, especially in urban environments. The vehicles can simply not be heard. That is why HELLA's acoustic warning system known as AVAS (Acoustic Vehicle Alerting System) provides a heightened acoustic presence in road traffic for vehicles travelling in the low speed range. It more or less simulates the engine noise of a vehicle with a combustion engine. In this way, the AVAS contributes to road safety by making road users aware of e-vehicles.

Tyres of combustion engine vehicles and those of electric cars do not basically differ. The same requirements appear in the specifications. For example, a good grip on wet roads and good braking performance are equally important. However, there are four e-specific features to mention, aspects which play a special role for electric vehicles.

-Low-noise rolling behaviour as the e-vehicle itself generates hardly any driving noise -High torque or specifically high abrasion resistance. With e-vehicles the sometimes very high torque is immediate and direct -The rolling resistance, the lower it is, the more the range -The load index, i.e. the load-bearing capacity of the tyre, which some tyre manufacturers adjust on account of the higher vehicle weight
