Cars That Think

After some consideration, I purchased a 2x4basics custom workbench kit (which provides the bench's heavy-gauge structural resin supports) and lumber to form the main structure, and then cut slabs of chipboard to form a top and a bottom surface. The 2x4basics kit came with shelves, providing space for plastic storage boxes.

GM invited us to a swanky house in Beverly Hills to demonstrate its new home energy products, including vehicle-to-home (V2H) backup power that allows you to power your house off of your EV battery. And the Silverado’s massive 200kWh battery pack can power an average American home for around 5-6 days.

But of course there’s more than just a torque sensor that makes the Propella 9S Pro so nice – even if that one single component is a great value-added piece of kit that we rarely see at this price. One downside of the bike though is that its 36V battery simply isn’t very big, measuring just 350 Wh. What’s the takeaway?

Whereas the original Niro was available as a regular hybrid , a plug-in hybrid (PHEV) and a battery electric vehicle (EV), the new model does without the PHEV option. But even as a hybrid the Niro doesn’t come particularly cheap. The GT-Line also gets Kia’s first telematics system, known as Kia Connect.

While it’s not cheap, the EV9 comes loaded with equipment and technology to help justify a circa-$100K starting price when it arrives in Australia in the fourth quarter of 2023. It will get the smaller of the two available battery packs (with 76.1kWh of capacity) and get a single electric motor driving the rear wheels.

None of this quartet is cheap, but all are towards the value end of the EV market. One oversight is the warranty, which is an undernourished four years or 80,000km (double that for the high voltage battery). There are also 19-inch wheels and Polestar Connect that can automatically direct emergency services to the vehicle after a crash.

And in a true smart grid, electric cars will not only be able to draw on electricity to run their motors, they will also be able to do the reverse: send electricity stored in their batteries back into the grid when it is needed. We will own the battery. We will always own the batteries,&# said Mr. Thesen.

April 10, 2009 10:09 am Link It amazes me that in the vast debate about electric cars world wide including here in Norway, no one ever mention the fact that the batteries in such cars need replacement in no more than five years. So imagine a million electric cars on US roads which all need to change these batteries in say 2015.

A mid-spec EV9 Earth is around $120,000 in the traffic, while the entry-level Air is a comparatively cheap $107,000. Anyway, the GT-Line has dual motors, all-wheel-drive, 283kW/700Nm and 505km range (WLTP) from its lardy 99.8kWh battery. The Air’s standard kit’s hardly wanting. For you NSW lot, it’s $140,200.
