If the cost of energy at these parking meters is marked-up (say 25 cents a kWh or more) it would probably be cheaper to burn gas in your PHEV until you get...
... Hmm, perhaps Minnesota/Wisconsin/Montana maybe? I have never seen one in New England. Are they simply parking meters with an outlet -- not charging for the...
... Hmm, I don't buy this line of reasoning. Beyond the initial "green" buyers of PHEVs, the mass market buyers will be thinking of saving money on gas. Grid...

The cells are 3.3 Volts, so four of them are 13.2 Volts, a bit higher than the 12.6 Volt car battery. I think it would be doable since the alternator charges...
Does anyone know where I can get data on the efficiency of electric vehicles. For example gasoline vehicles have an average mpg number. Electric vehicles...
Was just looking at the polls and thinking that maybe a parking meter with inductive ground charging under the pavement at the spot might be an interesting...
... There is no 350 lb NiMH pack which can supply 120 kW power and give 60 miles of range: NiMH "energy battery" (e.g. RAV4-EV) ... 125 W/kg * 160 kg = 20 kW ...
... A123 cells are rated at 120A for 10 second pulses, long enough for cranking. So in theory you'd only need 4 * 5 = 20 cells. ... $20/cell is for a...
Thanks to electronics, there now is a third solution to plug-in that is both automatic and 100 % efficient. At first, the line is protected with a differential...
The total energy loss is 10%. The article did not say what the energy loss is for a plug, but it probably is not zero. I would prefer to just drive my EV into...
Sure! We're talking generic people here, not just enthusiasts or hobbyists or cutting-edge types. People give up efficiency for convenience all the time. If it...
yeah, me too. But I like the option to plug in to gain that 10% loss. But the automatic option is good for when I am lazy or forgetful. All this discussion...

The Option C Prius is already at 28074 $ so it is not realistic to expect an even higher technology at only 18000 $. In general, when a new higher technology...
