I totally agree. The Li-Ion battery pack price is not there yet until 2015. Then under $40k Volt is possible.
The genIII Prius will likely have a bladderless fuel tank like the TCH. The bladder was used to minimize gas vapor emission during refueling when...
Thundersky battery failure in Bob Siebert's AC150 conversion http://www.youtube.com/v/FB1iKYgKSqo&hl=en&fs=1 Interesting perspective on Lithium...
You point is well taken. You also screw when you buy a hybrid or EV, you have to replace it with the same battery pack from the manufacturer...
It will work better if you exhale first and then hold your breath. Can't resist.
I can't agree more. I hope it will happen in 5-10 years. The ultracapacitor is also a myth, it will never have the power density and lower cost...
I couldn't find the price list at the thundersky site. I guess you have send a RFQ to them. Do you have any link to show the actual sale price or...
I am older than you. My first four cars I owned are domestics including a Caravan mini-van. After that all are Japanese, 1 Mazda and 6 Toyotas. I...
Semi-true for a gas car auto transmission but not true for hybrid. American made car has lots of problems with transmission. The horror stories...
Thanks for finding the article. If you look at figure 6.8, it clearly stated the cost is $706/kWh at todays OEM manufacturing price. This is the...
Sorry for the confusion, I was trying to compare 3 cars, RAV4-EV, RAV4-gas and the TCH (Toyota Camry Hybrid) at the same time and to show the...
Thank you for making the same conclusion, the EV and gas model has about the same cost of owner ship or cost per mile. The TCH is a good model for...
Case closed. Battery cost for EV, 20 cents/mile for NiMH 40 cents/mile for Li-ion
Sorry I misread your typo. The cost per mile of the hybrid is way less than the EV if you count the cost of the battery. My TCH gets 40mpg, at...
Yes, the utilities are offering half the off peak regular rate for EV charging today. Just for forward thinking, when 50% of the vehicles are...
Wow, a 25000 sq ft home, you must be a billionaire. You must be living in North Dakota to get 700KWH per month without AC and using heating oil...
It looks more and more like a Clarity with a fifth hatch door attached to the rear. The parting lines of the doors are exactly the same. BTW, it...
The Vue only has a 1.8KWh battery, it will not give 10mile range, more like five in SOC mode.
Using the $0.09/KWh is bogus. My residential rate is tiered in my utility district, $0.09 for tier 1 up to 500KWh/month, $0.15 from...
I agree, it is a Honda looks like a Prius. The two tier instrument panel is like the Civic Hybrid, not Toyota style.
