Separate names with a comma.
Yeah, thats where it gets complicated, and I'm not honestly what the proper convention is (or if there is one agreed upon). The 20 hour rate is...
There may be more than one convention, but I believe 1C indicates a discharge in Amps equal to the capacity in Amphours. Ideally this would be...
I think thats a bit of an exaggeration. I agree BYDs pricing is impressive, but their reliability and life is a complete unknown. While I admit...
Larry, please don't misconstrue my comment. I have the utmost respect for what you and Wayne have accomplished and your understanding of the...
I think it depends what you are after. If all you care about is getting off oil, than I would agree all that matters is battery range. Where it...
I think its as simple as marketing vs. engineering. Engineers want to know how big the battery is, and EV range is directly proportional to...
I believe that is correct, the motor is rated for 50kW but the inverter and battery are rated lower. Thats not to say they couldn't change that...
I wasn't going to go there :D Rob
That may be true under some circumstances, but certainly doesn't seem typical. Given that a number of people have damaged their cars by trying to...
BTW, if you haven't already you should join the EVDL mailing list: The Electric Vehicle Discussion List rob
I had thought about trying this too a while back. I think there are two main challenges. First, the electric motor is integrated into the...
Pretty cool, we certainly need some good small hybrids. Just keep in mind 80mpg is probably pretty exaggerated. By the time it meets US...
A few thoughts: I agree, Hymotion is a better reference. Bear in mind that their 30-40 mile range is their mixed mode range, not their EV...
Seen it here too, still plenty of aggressive drivers but on the whole things are much different than they were a year ago.
Thanks for posting! Submitted the following comments, we'll see if it gets published. Rob
Reading this makes me remember how excited I was when I flew out to pick mine up. Hang in there everyone, its so worth it! Rob
Thats very well put. I find my Prius just as fun to drive as my WRX. I've just never been able to explain why exactly. I think you've hit the...
Very nice work! I've been able to get mid-sixties on some RT commutes, but never been able to come close to maintaining that for a whole tank....
For a fairer way to look at it, the average person in the US drives 33 miles and would probably only be able to charge at home at least to begin...
Does nothing for you, but would do a lot for a "normal" person :rolleyes: I commute 18 miles RT, have the option of taking surface streets or...
