The efficiencies are so different because internal-combustion engines convert a lot of energy to heat rather than to mechanical torque. But the efficiency equation is more complicated than that because, unlike petrol pumps, recharging stations do not transfer energy perfectly.

Using a 150 kW (DC) fast charger, the high-performance battery can be 80% recharged within 30 minutes. The power electronics control the flow of high-voltage power between the motors and the battery, converting direct current (DC) stored in the battery into alternating current (AC). Like the I.D. BUZZ, the I.D.

liter inline-3-cylinder turbocharged engine (134 hp/100 kW) paired with a compact electric motor (161 hp/121 kW) with a high-boost converter and a main drive lithium-ion battery pack with storage capacity of 14 kWh (located beneath the floor of the cabin). The powertrain features a front engine/front-wheel drive gasoline-powered 1.1-liter

inch screen like the one in the Mustang Mach-E—but with additional truck-specific info and options. kW DC-to-AC converter and an automatic transfer switch for the home’s electrical panel. With an available adapter, a Lightning was able to recharge the battery of a Mach-E using that car’s portable charging cord.

Val Miftakhov , also a member of the chapter, founded Electric Motorworks , where he first converted BMWs to electric and then moved onto manufacturing JuiceBox charging stations. He was pontificating on an all-electric composite Hypercar using rechargeable batteries back in 2000. Contact membership@myeva.org for more info.

We now have a sprinkling of promising companies working to get funded to convert gas-guzzlers. For details on what we’ve called “The Big Fix” beyond the following, see [link] —and we’ll continue adding back-up info at CalCars-News and elsewhere. Drive Star will prove that converting vehicles is profitable.

For example, converting a two-engine turboprop from kerosene to hydrogen, increases the weight of the engine from two tonnes to 13 tonnes.
