I'd say the front looks VW, the side view is Prius, and the back is Insight I / Volt. :) Rob
Maybe not as skewed as you'd think. Last numbers I saw were that the average US commute speed was 32mph. ;) Highway Statistics 2006 - Number of...
It seems to me your example is contrary to your viewpoint. The Corolla weighs 11% more than the Yaris. Moving 11% more weight at a given speed...
catgic, The solar numbers are estimated using: PVWATTS - A Performance Calculator for Grid-Connected PV Systems 200W is the assumed DC rated...
You can change NOx, and maybe CO, but CO2 is simply the cost of doing business. You take carbon in whatever form, you burn (oxidize) it to get...
I would disagree. If you look back at my previous post, I think a PHEV10-15 NimH Prius still makes a lot more sense for the next few years. For...
The way people are currently getting around it is exploiting a mode built into the car already. The car has the ability to run full electric when...
thanks for taking the time to document, very cool! Rob
I think the EV speed question is a blend of several factors. MG2 is rated for 50kW (~67hp), the battery for ~20kW (~100A@201V), and MG1 for...
Its all about range vs. cost. The Volt's 40 mile miles range comes with a $20k+ Li-ion battery price tag. Doubling the Prius' NimH capacity...
I think thats the $24,000 question. The Insight could be a winning strategy if the price differentiation is significant. Otherwise its HCH vs....
RE Solar, I agree mostly. The roof of the Prius has been estimated to hold a little over 200W of PV. Depending where you are in the country,...
I'd say it is a very reasonable calculation. CO2 emission is directly proportional to fuel burned, as it is a direct result of the carbon content...
I am getting some grinding noises coming from the front brakes, wanted to see if anyone has any thoughts.... Symptom Synopsis: Grinding Noise,...
