Separate names with a comma.
Last year (2019) I went on out-of-town trips exceeding the electric range of an i3 in April (1), June (1 - 2,500 miles), July (1), October (2),...
At each end.
Similar. I keep whatever I have when I get back from "going a distance". The Prime's range is so long, that sometimes that's a good bit of fuel....
That takes years, and is easily mitigated with Stabil. You could say the same about any of the current PHEVs, including my Prius Prime. I went...
If you have a 300 mile round-trip commute every day, 7kW might not be enough. If I had a 300 mile round-trip commute every day, I think I'd use...
The math doesn't work that way if it's using the same hybrid system at the Prius (the power-split system). Prius Prime: Engine: 71kW. MG1:...
Maybe, but not by much. I just had a quick look, and it looks like it's rated at 7.4kW. Here's a 7.7kW grid-tie solar inverter for $1,600: SMA...
That's what I just explained. They can provide most of the ancillary services and daily load following, but not seasonal storage. That never...
Let me explain the general concept. I'll use round numbers to illustrate. The entire US electric grid is capable of 1TW (1,000GW) of peak power....
By the way, the generic name for this approach is "V2G" for "Vehicle To Grid". Vehicle-to-grid - Wikipedia
Easy math. The average US household consumes an average of about 1kW continuously. So, 60kWh could run a house for 2.5 days (60 hours) if you...
What good does a 6kW charger that's miles away from where you're staying do for you when you just want to get home right now and you've spent the...
My guess is, they used high-energy low-power 18650s like you'd find in a laptop battery. That means, they are designed to store maximum energy...
Your profile says you live in warm, highly-populous places. That mean you don't know what it means to lose half your range due to the outdoor...
You've learned that from a bunch of people who don't know what they're talking about. If by "majority" you mean "under 10%".
They can work for some. I'd estimate under 5% from the NHTS data I analyzed.
So what? If you never leave where you live, you're fine with a 100 mile range, most likely. Have to leave town? Current long-range EVs aren't...
You're missing the point. The point is the edge cases - the outliers. And I'm talking trips, not people. Most people will, while they own their...
The problem is, the current range combined with the current charging infrastructure and easily leave even a prepared driver stranded on the side...
Do you have proof of that 1%? I analyzed NHTS data for 2 years, and I concluded that the actual number is more like 95%.
