Yes, I ran by another article the other day where a different Japanese effort was taking place to bring about stationary Lithium batteries. In the case of...
I've said it before and I'll say it again: The NiMH battery technology that were tested in the California ZEV Manadate Plug-Ins have proven good enough and...
I agree with everything but the last sentence of the quote. The 100% reduction is miscontrued (or at least I take it so). The 100% reduction is true locally,...
Hi, Murdoch, There are some interesting thoughts here. Let's rake the soft underbelly of this proposition-- The first assertion was that the electric truck...
... Good, and I agree. One thing that can be done is use of alternative fuels and additives. Around here we are really pushing Bio Diesel and Alcohol fuel....
In translating the numbers to electric you made some huge errors. Firstly, most ev's use .20-.40 kWh per mile. To arrive at your figures one would have to...
... Probably more than one. The main thing that leaps out, offhand, is that the EV will not be using 543 kWh per day. Even if it travels 200 miles in a day...
Today I heard a Rabbi discuss the Torah's prohibition on lighting a fire during the Sabbath. Amongst other points he made, he asked that we consider that...

... http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/future-fuels-and-vehicles/message/10859 ... A pure BEV clearly is not forbidden. No piston-engined hybrids, however....
... [...] In this case, I'd like to point out that I don't treat EVs as holy. I know, that sounds impossible, based on the number of posts I make, but I go...
I would have to agree with Murdoch on this one. I don't think EVs are holy and I'm not even religious anyway, and I am not afraid to deal with real numbers ...
I also agree with Murdoch on the importance of validation of theoretical data with empirical data. Allow me to explain further. Several months ago I completed...
JUst one other point here. Where I live we have EV rates and off-peak rates. They are 3-5 cents/kWh respectively. You assume 10 cents /kWh. This alone ...
Ok, I think we are doing a good job of laying out some various scenarios and each of our reasons. I'm writing because after I got done with some work today I...
I am not questioning the integrity of the report. I don't quite understand how several of the key numerical values were determined. I intend to present this...
Hi All, Albeit not a new, they have been around for a few years now, I realised that many on this list might not have seen this and it might be of interest. A...
That's exactly the point I was trying to convey earlier. Assigning equal mpg figures to a diesel and electric truck makes no sense, since the electric will be...
... That, to my way of thinking, is the big question surrounding biodiesel PHEVs. In order for a diesel to run well/efficiently, I think the block needs to be...
Excellent, thanks. I wish they had put a few watts of solar on some of the surfaces, if only for show. Maybe it would not hold up to the salt water. Still,...
Murdoch, I've been AFK for several days, but here is a summary on Sodium-Sulfur (NaS) high temperature batteries, as requested: * Developed more than 3 decades...
[Default] On Mon, 3 Mar 2008 20:15:54 GMT, "Dave Goldstein" ... Thanks for the summary. The Zebra batteries would seem to be some evidence that a warm battery...
I do appreciate all the estimates and I'm surely no engineer, I think the best solution for us all is to see a real world electric truck in action. Once we...
