Is the electric truck cost-effective in comparison with the diesel truck? The comparison involved a 2011 Smith Newton electric truck powered by a 120 kW electric motor, and a 2006 Freightliner truck powered by a Cummins diesel engine. The comparison controlled for improvements in diesel efficiency between 2006 and 2011.

However, achieving either goal would likely require governments offering hundreds of billions of dollars, if not trillions, in EV subsidies to ICE owners over the next decade, not to mention significant investments in EV charging infrastructure and the electrical grid. The San Diego backlash over a mileage tax may be just the beginning.

The future grid will face significant challenges by providing clean power from intermittent resources to a much more dynamic load. EES has been considered as a key enabler of the smart grid or future grid, which is expected to integrate a significant amount of renewable energy resources while providing fuel (i.e.,

Mineta cited a 2008 well-to-wheel comparison of different vehicle technologies by the MIT Electric Vehicle Team that ranked electric vehicles, diesel and turbocharged gasoline engine vehicles within a 10–15% performance band. Sales trends reflect this preference across many vehicle segments, including pickups.

At present, PHEV technology alone is equipped to improve the current electric grid. The car can refuel during periods of low demand on the grid, and if equipped with a bi-directional charger, can actually replenish the grid with excess energy gleaned from a renewable resource.

As optioned, my tester would go for $43,380 as a 2023 model, before any potential tax credits - about the same money as you’d spend on a moderately equipped Audi A4 or BMW 3-series sedan, both of which are similarly sized and appeal to the same yuppie buyers. The significance of that can’t be understated. As I said…it’s complicated.

In the study, the economic comparison between powertrains is based on the total cost of ownership (TCO). The TCOs of all four powertrains is expected to converge after 2025—or earlier, with tax exemptions and/or incentives during the ramp-up phase. After 2025, the total cost of ownership (TCO) of all the powertrains converges.

A January 2007 Pacific National Laboratory study shows that if we woke up tomorrow and all our vehicles could plug in, todays grid could support more than three-quarters of them charging at night without building a single power plant. But its monumentally less pollution , even on the national (half-coal) grid. How can I help?

Once weve consolidated everything to depend on the grid, we can clean up everything by cleaning up the grid. Once electric cars are more common, demand for electricity will rise, and electricity producers will have to look at big generators such as dams, nuclear stations or decentralised wind turbines that feed in to the grid.

Hit the jump for a comparison that includes plenty of pics and video. Also, besides giving you the ability to charge at night when most utility rates are lower, future vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology may allow you to sell some of your stored energy back to the utilities. The method that should seem most natural is charging at home.

That way you have a fair basis of comparison, you know, apples to apples and all that jazz. Engineering proptypes enjoy a tax break. Companies can not sell engineering prototypes in which the company got R&D tax breaks in developing the product. We are addicted to the gasoline tax both at the State and Federal level.
