Think three times before buying a 'reconditioned' battery from an unknown source. I think most people would be far better served by either 1, buying...
I live in the sunny SW, and tint my windows. I also use an $8 front sunshield. Any aluminium sunshield works great, although finding one to perfectly...
I think he has included fuel, maintenance and repairs in the 17 cents a mile. SO clueless are the people who think that Prius does not save money...
Right you are -- other than $7.87 fixed charges, the other charges are per kWh. It looks like you have two tiers that apply to your bill -- the...
You are amongst friends here. Tell us how you *really* feel. ;)
Absolutely, $2k investment in an otherwise car in good shape is a wise move. It's the "in an otherwise" aspect that can be difficult to sort out.
Your math and analysis sounds right, but it is FAR from typical. Just look at the EPA--- around 350 Wh/mile from the wall in temperate weather, so...
One error has been corrected -- you charge less than 4.4 kwh for 11 miles at this time. However, you will find that if you live in a winter...
Nifty stuff Frank, thanks! If you ever have the chance, I'd like to see a graph of ICE friction (in watts) as a function of vehicle speed. Years...
Just stay to the far right, and let him pass ;)
7 accidents are enough to send any car to it's grave, but I would have enjoyed reading how much the author is willing to spend on the battery to keep...
If I may extrapolate from the Prius, low load on the ICE is inefficient, but it is never more energy than a more efficient, higher load state. The...
Absolutely. There is this notion that increased load at night will lead to more efficient coal plants; and I presume that can be true, but it is far...
Ahh ... back to this again. The average carbon intensity of a grid before the EVs come online cannot be used to determine if an EV is cleaner than...
I have already stated that my local grid is dirty. If you have a point to make, the time is way past.
Are you talking about diesels as alternatives to EVs as a way to reach the EU pollution and carbon goals/mandates ? While I agree that a diesel...
Finally, you say something correct. I know my local grid, and you do not. I'm still confused why you presumed to say that dirty grids do not...
Explain yourself, toto.
Playful poke at what, or whom ? Since all the states that Honda leases its EV start with a letter earlier than 'x,' that is also Fact and about as...
I agree -- the "everyone" argument is silly. A charger at work dramatically increases the number of people who can live within the limits of these...
