Yes watt is a unit of power. No watt-hour is not rate of power consumption, watt-hour is a unit of energy. "Rate of power consumption" is...
Actually I think it's a plug for the Volt.
I travel at lower speeds and aero drag goes as the square of the speed, so I've always figured that Cd isn't very important to me - as long as I...
Yup!! A Volt or an EV would not, of course. Watching the average mpg rise as you drive is amazing. In the winter around here my Prius starts...

What hardware complexity does it add? The motor-generators are already generators to regen the battery under other conditions. I imagine there...

Huh? Is there any evidence that worn brakes don't work as well as fresh pads? As long as the full area of friction material is in contact with...

+1!!! But that's ANOTHER problem and a great point: we need better training so people are better prepared to handle emergencies such as UA.
Exactly. People are afraid to do it because they haven't tried it. If you have shifted to neutral while rolling and want to go back to "D",...
The basic problem here is that shifting to neutral is not a common action for someone in a car with an automatic transmission (or a CVT). We...
