When Toyota and GM finally come out with their plug-in vehicles, what will be the current draw (amperage) to charge the battery using 120volt. From what I...
A strange move from GM that first sold it to Chevron and now wants it back. http://www.reuters.com/article/rbssConsumerGoodsAndRetailNews/idUSN05418\ ...
GM doesn't want it back. They may have no choice, though, because parent companies ECD and Chevron are about to pull the plug and shut it down. This would...
... A plug-in Prius will take about 4 to 6 kwatt-hours of capacity to charge up when fully drained (the Volt, if it ever exists, will have more). If you are...
From what I've seen of the after market upgrades, the plug is rated at 15 Amps, 120 VAC, so something less than that. I would like to see the cars charge based...
... It is likely to end up being a maximum of 15 amps, in order to be able to use existing outlets. ... In addition to being fused for 12V 10 amps, the...
1 Cigarette lighter will not work. That will only charge the accessory battery not the traction pack. 2. If you bypass the onboard charge controller, you...
The Volt will have a 16 kWh battery, but it only uses 8 kWh of energy, so you only need that much to charge it. At 110V with a 20A fuse you can use a max of...

I wouldn't use such a low voltage as 120 Volt to charge a plug-in hybrid; that is a true waste of energy in electric resistance. 230 Volt is much better. If...
The reason the manufacturers are keying on 120V is that it is THE standard household plug. You cna een find them in some of the parking garages if you...
I do not know about Peukert's Law. If you go through the braking shunt or normal charger on the car, the systems in place in the car will protect the...
In the US, standard outlet voltage is 120 VAC. 15 amps for residential, 20 amps for commercial buildings. Very rare to find an outdoor outlet at 220. I don't...
Note: I believe he is quite correct with #3 comment... My 10 kW rated solar system has produced an average of 46.5 kWh a day for this past year, which is fed...
... Pat, Just use a larger gauge wire to reduce resistive losses. Your charging rate is also limited by the rate the batteries can efficiently (and with less...

Sorry, I forgot about the fact the US still uses 120 Volt for power supply. Although with present copper prices, it must be expensive to wire a house and still...
... Pat, The US NEC Standards limit 120v outlet current to 15 (standard) or 20 (heavy duty-appliance) amps. Only a 220v or a commercial grade 120v outlet (not...
