Will A Radar Detector Work In An Electric Vehicle?

Yes, it will! The Evolution is here and a K40 Radar Detectors and Laser Defusers will work in any electric vehicle.

Did you know that electric cars appeared long before the earliest gasoline cars?

The first known appearance of an electric vehicle was in the early 1830s in Scotland, but because the batteries were not rechargeable, it could only travel about 1.5 miles at 4 mph, then It needed new batteries. This is not very practical.

In 1859 the first rechargeable batteries became available, but it wasn’t until 1893 that a viable EV was shown at the Chicago World’s Fair. It was a front-wheel drive, 4 horsepower car(riage) with a reported top speed of 20 mph, using 20 battery cells that needed recharging every 50 miles.

Electric cars and hybrids are the fastest-growing automotive segment thanks to decades of technological improvements.

Since the first-speed limit law in 1901, and the first radar detector in 1958, many drivers have chosen to equip their vehicles with police radar detectors to avoid speeding tickets.

Many electric and hybrid vehicles on the road today are equipped with radar detectors and laser jammers.

According to K40’s Tech Manager, Justin Vallo:

“Though EVs are sophisticated machinery, with an expert installation, the K40 systems seamlessly integrate into these vehicles with minimal intrusion. As many consumers use 12volt accessories daily in their EVs, such as cell phone chargers, GPSs, and gaming systems for the kid (who am I kidding, that’s for me too), a K40 system can easily and safely be installed into these vehicles.”
