1 ] The average daily driving distance in the USA is 30 miles (48 km), so PHEVLERs are vehicles with at least 60 miles (97 km) of electric range. The 2016 Chevrolet Volt with an electric range of 53 miles [ 2 ] is the first commercial car that almost qualifies as a PHEVLER. References. [ 1 ] DeMauro, Catherine J.

Theoretically, with renewable electricity, the 95 gCO 2 /km target could also be met by extended range electric vehicles with 40 miles all-electric range if 50% of driving is powered by the battery, or by fuel cell electric vehicles (FECVs), with hydrogen produced by water electrolysis.

It solves the storage problems faced by the electric utility companies in absorbing and adapting to the highly variable power and energy generated by solar and wind.

So, a total of up to 600 km (373 miles) can be covered with a single fill of the tanks. is located behind the same fuel door as the gasoline filler neck. The eco up!

Florida legislature is about to ban offshore wind turbines in state waters, which wouldn’t be put there to begin with, to protect the beaches. Excluding hurricanes, of course, Florida doesn’t have sufficient wind power, either onshore or offshore, that, say, states in the US Northeast or Texas have to sustain a wind power industry.

I remember reading about an Air India event to honour the frequent flyer who had the most miles under his belt. He runs a solar EPC business - and has interests in rainwater harvesting and organic farming. This is perhaps a reference to a sacred stone revered by the local Toda people. Wind Sailing at Mysuru!

But when people talk about payback, they refer only to the net dollars to the driver. But it works best if we use plug-in hybrids to power most of our miles electrically. We try to be careful to emphasize in the fine print that PHEVs can get over 100 miles/gallon of gasoline , PLUS electric costs of about 1-2 cents/mile.

Wandering alone along the southern fringes of Saudi Arabia’s mountainous Asir Province, some eight miles from the Yemeni border, in a nondescript town with a prominent sculpture of a rifle balanced on an ornately painted plinth, I met a man, Nawab Khan, who was building a palace out of mud. I jogged through the sand to catch up.
