‘Business-as-usual’ projections of future conversion rates, based on historical rates over the past two decades, indicate that 6–9 Mha of peatland in insular Southeast Asia may be converted to plantations by the year 2020, unless land use planning policies or markets for products change. There is a variance based on production method, etc.).

Energy management is handled by a high-voltage pulse-controlled inverter, which—along with the 12 Volt electrical system’s DC/DC converter and charging module—is integrated in the compact integral drive. Representing the core of the integral drive are the electric motor together with a transmission and differential.

That meant looking for a decent public DC charging station in a nearby town. As expected, I found many charging stations tended to be a few miles from exits and quickly learned that the Electrify America ones were by far the fastest as they offer DC charging up to 350 kW. I was right, it only boosted the battery level from 31% to 51%.
