At a media dinner at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit last month, Ford Motor Executive Chairman Bill Ford made some observations on the prospects for electric vehicles: “ Here we are today now, embarking upon something which is very different for our industry. The focus is primarily near term (i.e.,

On the other hand, drivers of other vehicles waste considerable time making special trips to refuel their internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles at the liquid fuel station or their battery electric vehicle (BEV) at the rapid recharging station. PHEVLERs make our electric grid more efficient. [

Scientist have confirmed that unlike gasoline cars, plug-ins will get cleaner as they get older -- because our power grid is getting cleaner. 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.

This renewable production capacity is increasingly important to ensure the existing power grid can accept more renewable sources. In fact, hydrogen cars now coming onto the market have triple the range of most battery electric cars and can be refueled in several minutes (rather than recharged in hours), and this is just the start.

The simplest recharging option is to plug the charging cable supplied with the car into a conventional 230-volt socket. The battery is then charged from the grid at a power level of 2.3 A completely depleted battery is recharged in this way within nine hours. The battery is then 80% recharged after just 30 minutes.

To answer these questions, we collaborated with Envirostrat to investigate some of the most common questions and concerns about the environmental impact that increased EV uptake will have on NZ, and in particular, how they really compare to ICEVs (internal combustion engine vehicles). Here’s what we discovered. WHAT EV MYTHS HAVE WE COVERED?

From 2011, Renault will progressively roll out four electric vehicles, including two derivatives of internal-combustion vehicles. The driver has three options when it comes to recharging: standard charge, quick charge and Quickdrop. Charging points will be installed close to residential areas, offices or shops.

A key thing, he said, will be to recharge the batteries at an acceptable time for the electricity grid — to “make sure people aren’t charging at the very peak, peak time,” like late afternoon when the electricity grid is already weighted down by demands like air conditioning. — CGC 22.
