But unlike traditional gas-powered cars, electric vehicle batteries do not last as long in extremely cold weather. Preheating your car when it’s still plugged in is highly recommended–this will use energy from the power grid instead of taking from the battery’s reserves, saving valuable energy for driving.

According to Autos Insider of July 12, 2007 Toyota, which has sold 1 million hybrids worldwide, including 750,000 in the United States, over the last decade, said converting a hybrid risks vehicle fires, and actually increases greenhouse gas emissions. However, the cars can run only short distances before they run out of juice.

We plugged it in five times, and despite an overall route that skewed more to long-distance highway travel than around-town errands, we managed to do 138 miles on grid electricity alone. Plug-in hybrids that never connect to the grid might as well not have a plug at all. Over five days, we put 276 miles on our test Wrangler 4xe.

Researchers at Cornell University are working on a similar road for the US, but instead of coils, they are utilizing metal plates under a specified “charging lane” for drivers to switch into when they need some juice. Traveling off the grid? Mobile Charging. A full charge at a level 2 charging station takes an average of 8 hours.

The Volt contract is important because the batteries are the most important element of the car and their reliability will make or break GM’s gamble to be the first company to put a plug-in — or grid-rechargeable — hybrid into the market.

This SAE spec would make it so you could go to a gas station and they would have the proper voltage and plug for your car. Once weve consolidated everything to depend on the grid, we can clean up everything by cleaning up the grid. but its never even been close to the amount of garbage that gas power vehicles produce.

The electric grid is the most advanced energy-distribution network ever created and is constantly only a few feet away from us (far more ubiquitous than gas/ethanol/hydrogen stations). The first step was the hybrid, which proved to the world that electric power can reduce gas consumption.

Also, besides giving you the ability to charge at night when most utility rates are lower, future vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology may allow you to sell some of your stored energy back to the utilities. Most charge points available today take much longer to re-energize batteries than it does to fill a gas-powered cars tank.

For on-the-go juice ups, the idea is to exchange your dead battery for a fresh one owned by Better Place. Extended-range electric vehicles — such as the Chevy Volt, which GM says will recharge in three hours — offer another route, adding a small gas engine to keep drivers from feeling stranded without access to fuel.

Ive found it facinating how car commercials changed the main MPG number they promoted before gas went over $4 a gallon as city miles. By the time he finally, and happily, got rid of it, he said the friggin piece of junk used more gas than his small Honda because tow trucks get crappy milage. The management at GM are liars.

For just a little more than half that amount, we could fund a fifty-fold increase in spending on R&D for the kind of game-changing technological breakthroughs—like smart grids, ultra-efficient batteries or even cheap, manageable fusion—we will need to end our addiction to fossil fuels. in 2100—the equivalent of US$40 trillion a year.
