Regenerative braking is built into all electric vehicles and is a feature that helps you maximise range, and makes the process of braking less wasteful. In comparison – a combustion engine car’s brakes convert kinetic energy into wasted heat to slow the vehicle. Are EVs suitable for business use?

70% of the energy from burning fossil fuel is wasted as heat, while only 30% goes to turn your wheels. So after we use all that electricity pumping oil out of the ground, refining it, transporting it, we then waste 70% when we burn it. These cars and trucks have internal combustion engines that are extremely inefficient.

BYD for the global BEV "crown". This is a waste of speculative juices. No matter who makes the most BEVs in the coming years, you won't find Musk focussed on any comparisons as between BEV-makers. All this energy devoted to Tesla v. Sure he wants financial success for Tesla Inc.

UOP has been working with Global Seawater Inc., Global Seawater Inc. Potential plant sources being considered are only ones that don’t distort the global food-chain, compete with fresh water resources or lead to unintended land use change. Global Seawater, Inc. The results are expected to be available in late 2010.

The only by products are water and a fair degree of heat, the latter indicating a degree of inefficiency and wasted energy. Second, while hydrogen can be otherwise produced through the electrolysis of water, this process requires huge amounts of clean and fresh water – a vital and highly valuable commodity of life that can’t be wasted.

Taking that as a baseline, if 1 billion cars are replaced with EVs (the current global light-duty vehicle parc is soe 1.3 100% reduction in solid waste. At a high level, the findings suggest that, compared to mining the land for battery metals, sourcing the needed metals from ocean nodules can deliver: 70% less CO 2 e direct emissions.

In just two decades, the share of the global lighting market held by gallium-nitride-based light-emitting diodes has gone from zero to more than 50 percent, according to a study by the International Energy Agency. What this means in practice is that, in comparison with Si or SiC, less charge has to flow into the device to switch it on or off.

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. In some areas where wind and hydropower is wasted at night, the rate can be as low as 2-3 cents per kWh. Thats 20-25 cents a gallon.

It is the first vehicle available globally that has three available powertrains for it. The hybrid power control unit integrates two motor control units (traction motor and hybrid starter generator) and DC converter are all in the same package. This is our first dedicated green vehicle. The idea is to give our customers choice.

It is alarming to see comparisons of the Chevrolet Volt PHEV with battery electric cars when the comparison focuses only on the electric range and ignores the other important differences.

Hit the jump for a comparison that includes plenty of pics and video. So much more convenient than having to take time out of my day and go out of my way (wasting more energy) to get a charge elsewhere or do battery swaps. At this early stage in what amounts to a global revolution, that is to be expected. Follow us on Twitter!
