All good points. I once did something similar - I did an experiment several years ago, and showed the wife exactly how it made considerable economic...
Oops, I should have pointed out that I bought the car used, I have only had it a couple of years. Old EVs do tend to rack up fewer miles, because of...
EV costs Good questions. My EV is 25 years old, and uses conventional lead-acid batteries. The good news is that this is a cheap technology, and...
EV history 30 years of history is OK, but electric cars have over 100 years of history. Here's an ad from 100 years ago for an electric car with...
Phoenix electric car Well, maybe not five stops, but how about twelve stops? Take a look at the Phoenix, at...
They are EVs, with a generator option (which would make them serial hybrids.) Unlike the present crop of hybrids some of us drive, the electric...
Interesting development this week, here's a new website - this is evidently another Chinese EV manufacturer (the poorly constructed English on the...
Not cost-effective. You could possibly get appropriate NIMHs from a car dealership, by posing as a hybrid owner. But expect the price to be...
Well, it's not the chemistry of NIMH that limits battery size; it's the patent holders. Some of the existing RAV4 EVs on the road have NIMH battery...
Of course large capacity batteries are on the market. I drive an EV with 18 of them. (Lead-acid.) The issue is high-AH NIMH batteries, which...
Well, it appears that Electro Energy is partnering with Altair Nanotechnology - developer of an advanced nonotechnology-based version of the li-ion...
Where did you buy an 85ah NIMH battery?
You know, I agree with you, it doesn't appeal to me much either. If I were buying tomorrow, I'd buy a vehicle conversion. This guy, for instance,...
Interesting development in this story: A company named Electro Energy has been promoting a forthcoming propulsion NIMH battery - and the speculation...
Yes, and Cobasys is very agressive protecting those patents.
You are correct that there is no advantage to the parallel hybrid versus the serial hybrid. Nonetheless that is exactly what we are being sold....
Yes, I had read that. I think the next few years could be exciting for EVs. I have never been aware of so many advanced battery projects going on at...
I can show you an electric car for any price you can name. I drive a (very old) EV that I bought off eBay for $2000. The lead-acid batteries in my...
Nothing is more efficient than an EV. Electric motors are 95% efficient. The electric grid is 95% efficient (far more efficient than sending fuel...
