Charged EVs

You might not know it to look at them, but these two cars—one Swedish, one Chinese—share underpinnings and a parent company. Volvo and its Chinese parent Geely are very serious about selling cars that plug in. It’s called the XC40 Recharge, and the earliest versions aren’t cheap, priced from about $55,000 including delivery.

During the late innings of the ICE-age (as in the Internal Combustion Engine age) it has become clear that feeding gasoline and diesel to the next billion new cars is not going to be easy, or cheap. It is generous to say that an acre of Iowa can provide 12,500 miles per year at a cost of 10 cents each. New cars in 2015 get 25 mpg.)

The cost of grid management has soared to nearly £2billion a year in the last two decades. And in any case, an inflexible approach to regulation has caused the cost of new nuclear to balloon – despite it being perhaps the most obvious solution to our long-term energy needs. Gas is the only answer.

The cost of ownership for EVs is still quite high. And they will probably come from China, if we do not start creating a really dutch alternative, cheap, simple, ultra lightweight and modularized. The cost of batteries is not a problem when this is organized in the right way. They will sell like hell when available.

If you come across a safe and reliable battery technology it can be used in the country’s space mission or you found a better alloy that is cheap to produce or lighter in weight and performs well under load it can be used in other sectors or even in the gasoline cars to increase efficiency and reduce carbon emission.

Why hes banking on an obscure Chinese electric car company and a CEO who - no joke - drinks his own battery fluid. The E6 will hit the Chinese market later this year. The deal, which is awaiting final approval from the Chinese government, didnt get much notice at the time. EMAIL | PRINT | SHARE | RSS DIGG FACEBOOK DEL.ICIO.US

EVs ain’t cheap Price is another EV purchase risk that is comparable to EV range. How long GM will be able to keep that price in the face of battery cost increases and inflationary pressure, is anyone’s guess. Even in the Chinese market where smaller EV sales are booming, profits are not.

In Germany, as in many European countries, you generally want to use a charging network subscription to get the best prices on charging — the cost of going “out of network” can be exorbitant, with many DC stations charging €0.79 / kWh to non-subscribers. Networks, like eNBW or Tesla, offer monthly subscriptions that can cut this cost in half.

Last year Oregon had also aggressively negotiated with the Chinese carmaker, BYD , to manufacture its line of plug-in hybrids in the state for sale in the U.S.) Furthermore, changing the battery pack on say a Toyota Prius often costs a fortune, at least in most European countries, so such cars better be VERY cheap, but they’re not.

The Chinese can promise to do this because they’re modernizing their economy. The cost of fully implementing the Kyoto Protocol (in terms of lost economic growth) has been estimated at roughly $180 billion a year. They’re investing in more efficient energy sources and nuclear power. It’s simply not in their interest to do so.
