Interesting thought; Taxing the electric vehicle is not a new tax. It is the same tax that we are already paying by using gasoline that is automatically taxed...
There is certainly nothing new about death or taxes. But I still think the knee-jerk reaction of John Q. will be to see this EV tax as both a new and an...
Well, since we have solved the issue once again, let's wait and see what develops. Bob Lee Dekker <heprv@...> wrote: There is certainly nothing new about...
... You are certainly in the right ballpark. I don't have exact numbers on charging efficiencies for NiMH batteries. 15% might be a bit optimistic, but I...
THe NiCd and the NiMH figures seem low. I checked some web sites and they indicated that you must be very careful as to how you charge these batteries to ...
I had written out some response to Yodda but then in the end I must have decided to delete it and not send it. (It was one of those 1 in the morning twilight...
Now, some of my quick take: [Default] On Thu, 03 Apr 2008 22:28:19 -0700, murdoch ... I'm thinking that this analytical article does have some questionable...
... Well feel free to send it to me at the group or privately if you find the write at another time. ... I think it is interesting to take a look at all types ...
Hi, Yodda, I followed up on your comments-- I looked at your reference. I couldn't find any mention there of improved NiMH efficiency. About electric motor...
... This is electric power-plant-to-wheels. "Well-to-wheels" for a coal or natural gas or nuclear plants, for example, would need to include the energy...
I continue to wonder as to the extent to which the skin of vehicles (along with the shape) can be modified to reduce energy expended per mile. Although this...
Just today I got off the phone with a Duke Energy representative, Linda Conelly, Clemsone, SC that stated, the energy loss associated with transporting large...
Disclaimer: I have some indirect business interest here. Note that efficiency is achieved not only with mini-turbines-to-electricity but also with light...
[Default] On Fri, 4 Apr 2008 17:23:25 -0700 (PDT), Yodda Pierce ... It was interesting to me to see the results of your research here. I think if we are...
I would have to agree with you that plug-to-wheel efficiency numbers are probably more important than well-to-wheel efficiency number. Most people would like...
This appears to be a perfect example of a preventable disaster. Everyone knew that this oil crunch and peak oil were coming. There could have easily been...
Oil is going to be their excuse, but they would have tanked under $50 per barrel oil. Can you imagine any company that knew they were shutting down the...
Always a point worth making.... we will believe the GM 100,000 2010 hybrids (is this referring to the VOLT or some other additional promise of hybrids?) when...
I was speaking with a colleague in London who had ridden in an EV there and thought that there are actually highway-capable EVs available to buy there. This...
Hi, guys, Here are some sources to look at-- Here is an Excel file with several pages. If you click on the tabs at the bottom, either <GREET 1.7 WTP Results...
I thought the article was decent, and interesting (and not surprising) to see what they are trying to do to simulate battery testing. I don't know how serious...
