Volkswagen showcases inductive charging w/ “power lift”, autonomous and semi-autonomous capabilities & gesture control at CES

Green Car Congress

If a mapped charging station is difficult to access, does not support the required plug system, is defective or does not exist at all, this would lead to time being wasted. Here, the car utilizes sensors from the MQB (modular transverse matrix) components set that is already being used in production cars today. Safe & Secure.

Using the PHEV (Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle) to Transition Society Seamlessly and Profitably From Fossil Fuel to 100% Renewable Energy

Green Car Congress

He was formerly with the University of Wisconsin and Rockwell International, and holds a Ph.D. To ignore this potential is wasteful and foolish. We must act quickly as the planet is warming due to CO 2 production from burning fossil fuels. In addition, we need no more biofuel than what is currently in production now.
