Even, Lead acid batteries are 75- 80 percent efficient. <BR/>Internal combustion engines have peaked in efficiency, around 20% with a turbocharger. <BR/><BR/>With the current power plant infrastructure, electric vehicle's to the ground efficiency is around 25%. But that has nothing to do with the car, though; it has to do with the old power plants. Modern power plants have efficiency of 50-60 percent, compared to national average of 33%, which changes everything.<BR/> <BR/>Electric cars are mostly charged at night, so your assumption that we would have to triple the amount of power plants is misguided. Plus, increasing modern power plants would be a net gain for society, especially if they build more nuclear, wind and hydro power plants. Capacity right now can support millions of cars.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19408890.post-49002360205165453372007-05-13T02:27:00.000+10:002007-05-13T02:27:00.000+10:00http://www.depression-care.org/Anxiety Depression...http://www.depression-care.org/<BR/><A HREF="\" REL="nofollow" HTTP://WWW.DEPRESSION-CARE.ORG/ANXIETY-DEPRESSION.PHP\>Anxiety Depression</A>,idea of co-occurring anxiety <BR/><A HTTP://WWW.DEPRESSION-CARE.ORG/HELP-DEPRESSION.PHP\ HREF="\" REL="nofollow">Help Depression</A>,all solution on msnAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19408890.post-1155077394334949202006-08-09T08:49:00.000+10:002006-08-09T08:49:00.000+10:00What answer Bob?What answer Bob?David Jefferyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11826563619710355534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19408890.post-1155059062345843122006-08-09T03:44:00.000+10:002006-08-09T03:44:00.000+10:00The "oh dear" comment was one of so much informati...The "oh dear" comment was one of so much information with so much subtlety that a blog reply would surely prove inadequate. I apologize to anyone who thought it directed at any individual rather than the daunting task as was intended. <BR/><BR/>The lie of omission persists. Our host did not commit it but as I noted merely uncritically repeated it. Using 0.3-0.5 kWH/mile is not the proper comparison due to losses at every point in the total energy cycle. EVs are not bad at all and there is much promise, more IMO than in traditional IC motive power technologies. If I were induced to pick my magic bullets they would be; room temperature superconduction, catalytic dissassociation of water, amorphous solar efficiency breakthroughs, low temperature/pressure fusion. <BR/><BR/>In closing anyone interested in continuing is welcome to my blog, I take requests. And anyone interested in a true example of rude and patronizing need look no further than above with the dismissive; "Actually, don't bother answering." My modus operandi is to interpret such as an admission that the poster cannot refute the answer, knows the answer is correct and refuses to accept the answer.Rob Dawghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10042154106850545479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19408890.post-1155018853915293262006-08-08T16:34:00.000+10:002006-08-08T16:34:00.000+10:00"Oh Dear?

Where to begin? Okay, first you are com...Oh dear. Where to begin? Okay, first you are comparing brand new, cutting edge, designed for efficiency, small, niche vehicles to the 8.8 year old average US automobile (23mpg) in your efficiency comparison. Second, you fall for the lie of omission in comparing electricity to chemical fuels. Only 31% of the energy used to make grid electricity actually gets to the customer. When that electricity is used to charge a battery. Can be 60% but never less than 20% losses. So, getting useful work out of an EV is about 25% efficient. 0.3-0.5 kW-h/mile is 1000-1700 BTU/mile. 1.58 kW-h/mile is 5,400 BTU/mile or 23 mpg as calculated but the equivalency ignores passenger loads. While there is no definitive information it is highly likely that EV useage resembles the average occupancy of the commute segment of road users; 1.2 passengers while the US average is 1.57 passengers. <BR/><BR/>You see where I'm going with this, EVs are not anywhere near as efficient (yet) as their proponents claim. Within the next few years as solar comes down in price and/or increases in efficiency and as technology improves maybe but not yet. Oh, and it is important to note that a huge portion of the claimed transportation efficiency derived from EV designs can be applied to IC primary movers; low cD, narrow tires, limited capacity, range, advanced materials energy recovery, etc. <BR/><BR/>In short, every bit of advancement helps but there's no magic bullet here.Rob Dawghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10042154106850545479noreply@blogger.com
