Separate names with a comma.
That depends on the owners. If they're handy, playing wack-a-mole with module pairs can be far less expensive. If not, I think paying someone to...
Peaking and load following natural gas plants are guaranteed to run at a lower load capacity than coal, not baseload nat gas. Jet Fuel is also...
That's definitely accurate. It's also a straw man because it's only looking at a specific type of energy used (electricity) at a specific stage in...
I'm not knocking on you either, but 36-45% for real world natural gas plant efficiency is extremely low. Real world efficiency for natural gas in...
It's pretty much the same in stop and go, but at a steady cruise it's more efficient than the regular G3 or the C, especially at higher speeds....
The figures are from the state of CA in the early 2000s, so there might be variations depending on location, but it's more or less accurate....
It's not strictly ~5-6kWh of electricity, it's some electricity plus some natural gas, which can be used for electricity. I think it's more...
That's correct. However... Comparing the carbon intensity of electricity to the carbon emissions of a Prius isn't apples to apples since it's...
My back of the pad calculations indicate I'm at ~6.5 tons/year (Honda Insight at 60+mpg). A small EV would drop that to ~5.5 tons/year, and PV...
The only way you can get ~20 miles is doing a constant ~30mph on flat ground. http://avt.inel.gov/pdf/phev/fact2013toyotapriusphev.pdf It'd be...
Like I said before, I don't think your assumptions are realistic. I see new Leafs listed at $23k and have seen new i's listed at $16.5k(2014) to...
I think an i (or Leaf, or etc...) versus a Prius is a bit more reasonable than comparing an i to an electric bicycle, or a Prius to the Mercedes...
I think it's questionable to compare the 2nd most inefficient EV (which is also pretty expensive) to the 2nd most efficient hybrid which is fairly...
I don't think comparing 10 years of EV to 25 years of PV is realistic. For that matter, EV versus gas for someone who can accommodate the limited...
The market for Pips is way smaller than that, but Toyota still makes 'em....
What Bisco said! Having said that, where are Toyota's EVs?
Cool. According to ANL, the plug-in gets better mileage than the both cars when cruising, although that's probably a lot closer if the 5 didn't...
It's not a given, but it's likely. As a general rule, using a bigger chunk of the battery, higher average temperatures, and higher average SOCs...
I'd get a Mitsubishi i, which can be ~$8k-$10k all in if you wait around for a deal, and maybe wait to sell your pip until after the car-pool...
I think so. I remember Jeff N mentioning that as well, but I can't seem to find anything concrete on the chemistry.
