UC Davis researchers suggest we may be at the beginning of a real hydrogen transition in transportation

Green Car Congress

In many respects, hydrogen FCVs could offer features that are similar to today’s gasoline cars and are more challenging to achieve in battery-powered vehicles, including good performance, large vehicle size, refueling time of 3-5 minutes and a range of 300-400 miles. The station investment cost would be $100-$200 million.

Lessons from a year with solar power

EV Info

Help with reducing our carbon footprint. Having an EV you learn about the basics of electric power, charge rates and kilowatt-hours or KWh. . For example the LEAF has a 24 KWh battery pack, and a full pack is good for around 100 miles. Very basic maths gives the LEAF a power usage of close to 4 miles per KWh.
