I assumed the 50A comment was referring to peak 12VDC startup currents as here: Prius Startup Current As you correctly pointed out its a far cry...
I used to think that about the Prius from just seeing them on the road. Then when I sat in the back seat, saw all the hidden storage and test...
No more belts on the ICE -- even the oil pump is electric. The oil pump has always been mechanical. The water pump was previously belt driven....
I 100% agree. I already pay monthly for cell phone service which is the same coverage area they are offering. No more monthly payments!
If you drove your car during that time and it went dead only a week after you bought the car, that was probably a bad battery from the start,...

I'm not sure where your priorities are regarding size and weight, but take a look at the netbooks for small size and still decent power. Less than...
Speaking of math, am I off base by wondering how they get power for 20,000 average American sized homes from a 25MWe source. Seems to me this in...
I'm enjoying reading your thread and may be able to contribute. I take it your PC has conventional ATX-type power supply that's powered off an...
