Separate names with a comma.
With 100% renewable electricity. I'm looking forward to it! But, I'm willing to suffer with a mere 400 mile battery and 15 minute charging in...
The 2014 and 2015 Volt already have an optical camera-based Lane warning and collision avoidance system that is mounted in that area. Most cars...
I suspect you are thinking of China's restrictions on rare earth metal exports including those used in electric permanent magnet motors and also...
That DOE document appears to have been written 10 years ago as a fantasy plan for what might have been achieved by now. Their crystal ball failed...
When you look at the graphs in the executive summary you see that a vehicle getting about 68 miles per kg of hydrogen from NG would emit about...
I was referring to this updated NREL study from 2013: http://www.nrel.gov/docs/fy14osti/60528.pdf I was referring to this updated NREL study...
There is no doubt that the Prius and PiP have excellent CO2 (and other) emissions however the PiP for many drivers has noticable limitations on...
There is also some dispute about how to estimate CO2 equivalent emissions for hydrogen made from NG. The Union of Concerned Scientists assumes...
We don't know the official EPA estimates for the Mirai or 2016 Volt but I think we can make reasonable guesses based on what is known today. I'm...
That was only true for the 2011 model year so about 90% of the Volts on the road in the U.S. today do indeed report the kWh used on the center...
Do you mean other global warming gas emissions or do you mean "old fashioned" traditional emissions that make for smoggy air? I'm personally not...
Of course, the 2016 Volt will have about the same average CO2 emissions as the Mirai when operating on a typical mix of gasoline and US average...
Now that I think of it, I did first read about fuel cell cars in Popular Science -- back in the late 70's.
Nice reference for H2 compression! Thanks. So, 3 kWh in reality (best case commercial estimate) for the compression aspect of 700 bar (10,000...
Fun fact: It takes only about 0.25 kWh of grid electricity to refine a gallon of gasoline but it realistically takes at least 12x that much or 3.0...
Right. This is accounted for by ANL GREET which says that from well to combustion gasoline emits about 24.5 pounds of CO2 per gallon as opposed to...
Wjtracy is about right on 0.15 kWh per gallon of gas. It could be as high as .30 kwh per gallon and it varies based on the characteristics of the...
Toyota sold 37,000 Prius cars from 1997 to 2000 and then another 33,000 of the slightly more refined 1st generation Prius cars from 2000 to 2003....
Thanks for the report. Too bad you didn't get any pix. Were the Volts themselves camo'd or just the support vehicles for some reason? What would...
It was silly to believe that GM would sell as many as 60,000 1st gen Volts a year. I never believed that hype either. Battery-centric cars are...
