It provides an air-standard analysis of efficiency, including a comparison to conventional engine technologies. Since its founding in 2004, the company has used only a small amount of venture capital to achieve multiple design iterations and a working prototype. Stephen Nabours et al.

Between 2004 and 2006, while the emissions of CO 2 from passenger cars declined by 3%, that from LGVs grew by 22%. A comparison of regulatory test cycles with the real-world operating conditions of vans in the United Kingdom, with particular reference to the accuracy of the regulatory cycles as predictors of real-world CO 2 emissions.

Leveraging some 20 years of experience and data reaching back to its early work with hybrids and the Ranger EV, Ford has developed a battery model and life validation protocol it now uses to predict how lithium-ion batteries are likely to perform under 10 years and 150,000 miles of use (40-season equivalent key life tests).

In 2014, Volkswagen of America announced that starting with the launch of the zero-tailpipe emissions battery-electric 2015 e-Golf ( earlier post ), it would invest in projects to offset the carbon emissions created from the e-Golf on a full lifecycle basis: production, distribution and up to approximately 36,000 miles (57,936 km) of driving.

Below 20 miles per hour there was little difference between the outcomes, with pedestrians struck by either vehicle type tending to sustain minor injuries. To provide an updated comparison, IIHS researchers analyzed detailed crash data compiled by the International Center for Automotive Medicine Pedestrian Consortium.

In 2009, NREL expanded this CDP to include a comparison of the efficiency at full power, for which DOE’s target was 50% net system efficiency. These vehicles made more than 500,000 trips and traveled 3.6 —Final Report.

The first such vehicles were introduced by Volkswagen in 2003, and by 2004, they accounted for more than 17% of the Brazilian auto market. However, since the cost of the hydrous ethanol is significantly lower, hydrous ethanol will provide a lower cost per mile travelled, assuming the processing cost savings is passed on to the consumer.

The comparison keeps being raised, though studies are conclusive: The "well-to-wheel" emissions of electric vehicles are lower than those from gasoline internal combustion vehicles. A PHEV with only a 20-mile all-electric range is 62% lower (see printed page 95 in the 2004 study ). The GREET 1.6 Using the average U.S.

It assessed three currently manufactured Li-ion battery technologies for EVs and two for a PHEV with a 40-mile all-electric range: lithium-manganese oxide (LiMnO 2 ); lithium-nickel-cobalt-manganese-oxide (LiNi 0.4 O 2 , Li-NCM); and lithium-iron phosphate (LiFePO 4 ).

Power and Associates 2004 report ]. But it works best if we use plug-in hybrids to power most of our miles electrically. We try to be careful to emphasize in the fine print that PHEVs can get over 100 miles/gallon of gasoline , PLUS electric costs of about 1-2 cents/mile. How do fuel cell cars fit into the picture?
