The NiMH patents were freed from the evil hands of Chevron around 2009 and are now apparently owned by BASF. The literal EV-95 battery used in...
Here's a link to the typically confusing article: Toyota: solid-state batteries coming in 2020, 3-4 times better than li-ion The original source...
You can sign up to get an RFID card on the ChargePoint website. They used to charge a nominal fee for the card but I know it has also sometimes...
I agree.
Diet is probably the biggest factor for human CO2 emissions. A vegan or even vegetarian cyclist probably has lower annual CO2 emissions than a...
I agree that the 260 mpg "combined and weighted" result can be hard to understand. What is hard to understand about 120 mpg (2.0l/100km) running...
Yes, the 120 mpg number appears to be from the same NEDC "CS mode" test cycle that results in a 47 mpg estimate for the Volt. I think. I got that...
Here's an updated VW XL1 vs. 2011 Volt comparison based on the European NEDC test cycle data that was released: Car Raw mpg KWh/100 miles EV...
There is a bogus idea floating around that refining a gallon of gasoline takes 5-8 kWh of "electricity". That much energy, not electricity, is...
What country are you referring to? In the United States, we drive about 3 trillion miles per year. (1) Of course, many of those miles are in the...
A 2013 Volt, driven conservatively, can easily be a 45/43 (EV/HV) car today. I routinely get 45+ miles of EV range on my 2 year old 2011 Volt and...
Volt charges to 87% and switches to HV at 22% so the usable charged capacity is normally 65%.
I don't know either but apparently nobody has come up a practical way of doing that yet that is broadly applicable in the different locations and...
Or, in other words, CO2 is still the problem. Whatareyagonnado with it all? There may be a market for the small amount generated by a pilot plant...
I think VW is claiming just under 50 km of EV range. Where did the 44 km of range estimate come from? The bottom line is that, very roughly, the...
I have a similar commute and drive a Volt. You might find the 7-11 Switcheroo thread useful if you haven't seen it already. PiP/Volt January 7-11...
The NEDC formula is described at the following URL. Combined and weighted | Opel Ampera Blog I get an error viewing that on a phone because I...
I'm thinking the claims from VW are based on the European "combined and weighted" estimates. On the same system, the Volt gets 1.2l/100km (196 mpg...
Where did the 8.3 kW at 100 kph come from? The actual press release from VW, as shown at Autoblog Green's article, says 6.2 kW at 100 km/h....
I bought a "tally counter" mechanical clicker thing at Office Depot for $3 last weekend and have been using it to count plugin cars. So far, I'm...
