Get Electric Vehicle

Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles (FCEV) are similar to BEVs in that they have an electric-only powertrain, but they store energy differently. FCEVs store hydrogen gas in a tank rather than charging a battery. In comparison, an FCEV with a battery pack of less than 2 kWh can drive up to 650 kilometers. Sweeter Yet a bit Bitter.

Appendix B: Car of the Future: A Comparison of Alternative Vehicles. 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. More information on e-mile comparisons is given by Reference Nº 2.

There were two Level 2 charging stations about six blocks away in a grocery store parking lot, but that was not a convenient or reliable option. I asked about installing charging stations in our garage and was invited to bring the issue up before the HOA (homeowners association) board, where all good ideas go to die,” he said.

Dan O’Shea, Director of Utility Strategy and Business Development for ABB in the US, gave us some more examples of the two-way exchange of ideas between Formula E and more mundane markets. Sometimes I use the comparison to Moore’s law,” said O’Shea. This is about who is managing energy better.

In 1979 the Macintosh personal computer existed only as the pet idea of Jef Raskin, a veteran of the Apple II team, who had proposed that Apple Computer Inc. make a low-cost “appliance”-type computer that would be as easy to use as a toaster. He was willing to spend whatever it cost to experiment in this factory.

Atari and other video-game companies had been making microprocessor-based arcade games for some time before the VCS was developed, but the cost of then-available processors—$100 or more each—made the idea of a home consumer product based on a microprocessor impractical. Then came Chuck Peddle and the 6502.

Despite this, a 2003 EPRI study , assuming only $2/gallon gas , zero buying incentives, and a PHEV premium of $3-$5,000 more than standard hybrids, shows that the total lifetime cost of ownership for a PHEV will be lower than that of any other vehicle type -- so the payback will be there. I love the idea of powering my car from solar power.

Hit the jump for a comparison that includes plenty of pics and video. If cost is an important consideration, than charging your EV at home is a no-brainer as it cuts out any profit-hungry middlemen. Currently, there are some industrial facilities that use battery swapping to replenish the energy stores of electric forklifts.

It is simply the cost of doing business. "On some products, the costs, particularly in advanced technologies, are high," he said in a lengthy interview with Automotive News (free subscription required). That way you have a fair basis of comparison, you know, apples to apples and all that jazz. They make them all wrong.
