Separate names with a comma.
I disagree. Example: 737-900 airplane. Average cruise (shaft) power, ~20 megawatts for 7 hours = 140 megawatt hours. Current battery energy...
Normal refueling time is 20 minutes. Multiple packs will slow the process but you'd probably have to do it. For this application, I'd probably...
We're not going back to 1920s farming technology. I've been studying EVs since about 1991 or so. It's been possible for a long time, but EVs...
If batteries were 1000Wh/kg and $30/kWh, this would be possible now. H2 fuel cells are already at those metrics, now.
Because that's how heavy a 6.4MWh battery pack (around one day of continuous use, which is about how it's often done) would be.
Maybe "most closely", yet not even close. How are you going to get the power out to the middle of a field? Or are you going to expect to drive...
A typical large tractor or combine will consume around 25 gallons of diesel per hour and be used 16 hours a day during their use period (planting,...
And you think you're a typical American? Do you run a farm? Do you have the same total lack of understanding of electric vehicles as 99% of...
Right, but I would argue that around 5% of people can and 95% can't, at least with current infrastructure.
As you know, Tesla often appears at the bottom of initial quality and long term quality surveys and Toyota often appears at the top of them.
Tires and 12V batteries are normal maintenance. Brakes, no. My 2004 lasted 13 years and 150,000 miles with no maintenance outside of regular...
Reality - I've owned Prius' since 2004, with ~200,000 miles total, and not a single bit of maintenance that was not on the regular maintenance...
I just tried it in my 2017 Prime - worked without issue in both Drive and Reverse.
So I could go out of town without having to worry about range, wait for slow charging, or stay on the beaten path. And it worked.
I was standing at a barricade talking to a state trooper who told me that all the routes to my destination were closed aside from the one going...
In 35 years of driving I've had four incidents where the road was unexpectedly closed and I had to turn around and go back, though this last one...
And if, as happened to me last year, the road you planned to drive on is closed due to a forest fire and you have to take a 200 mile diversion on...
1%? 24% of the driving I've done on my Prime was on trips that included at least one leg that couldn't have been done by any EV at the time I...
If you're out on the road, how else are you going to charge the battery in an EV or PHEV other than using gas in the PHEV?
As I've repeatedly said, hydrogen cars should be PHEVs. Do most or all of your in-town driving on electricity sourced at your home, do most or...
