Its turbocharger with variable turbine geometry makes optimal use of the exhaust gas energy for early and harmonious torque development. The A3 Sportback 30 g-tron 1.5 TFSI engine produces 96 kW (131 PS) and generates 200 N·m (147.5 lb-ft) of torque between 1,400 and 4,000 rpm.

By rapidly ramping up and down in response to fluctuations in wind and solar power, the technology will enable the integration of more renewable resources into the power grid, GE says. The FlexEfficiency 50 Combined Cycle Power Plant. —Paul Browning, vice president thermal products for GE Power & Water.
The Truth About Cars

In many cases, electric vehicles tend to create more pollution upfront during assembly and gradually offset this by spewing no gaseous emissions from its nonexistent exhaust. This depends heavily upon whether the local power grid is broken down to prioritize renewable, coal, natural gas, or nuclear energy.

When the battery can no longer power a car, it will be repurposed for a second use. Once the battery has been completely exhausted, it will be sent off for safe recycling, which ensures valuable materials and chemicals are extracted. Powering a residence in tandem with solar panels, similar to Tesla’s power wall.

Another efficient option he pointed out is the combined cycle power plant. The heat from the turbine’s exhaust is used to produce steam to turn a turbine in the second stage. The resulting two-stage power plant is at least 25 percent more efficient than a single-stage plant. We don’t have enough solar energy and wind energy.”

These vehicles use large traction battery packs to power the motor. Because EVs run on electricity, the vehicle emits no exhaust from a tailpipe and does not contain the typical liquid fuel components in ICEVs. If it’s manufactured on a ‘dirty’ power grid it becomes a major source of emissions over the EV lifecycle.
