The Mercedes-Benz S 500 PLUG-IN HYBRID ( earlier post ) can cut CO 2 emissions by some 43% when recharged using the European electricity mix and by up to 56% when using hydroelectricity compared to the conventional S 500 model on a full lifecycle basis, according to the environmental certificate awarded by TÜV SÜD.

Battery electric vehicles are a great technology but like the fax machine they are only temporary and there is a great deal of consumer resistance towards them for all manner of reasons, including range and the time it takes to recharge them. mpg US or 3.5 With a tank capacity of 5.6 Hydrogen has around the same energy content of 3.7

Revisiting and updating the past Volkswagen walked away from the bus and van market right about the time minivans became the rage, though it did soldier on with the low-volume Type 2 Vanagon until 2002. So driving around town, stuck in stop-and-go rush hour freeway traffic, or coasting down hills will recharge the battery.
How does this sound: 100+ MPG in a regular vehicle? An Argonne researcher reached consensus with researchers from other national labs, universities, the Air Resources Board, automakers, utilities and AD Little to estimate in July 2002 that PHEVs using nighttime power reduce greenhouse gases by 46 to 61 percent. Using the average U.S.

We’re now in the crisis CalCars knew, when we began in 2002, would some day arrive. (We We won’t need new power plants, since we have enough off-peak electricity to recharge as many retrofits as we can build. When he proposes steps to improve oil industry safety, we hope he won’t say, “Let’s make sure this never happens again.”
Recharge a Car, Recharge the Grid, Recharge the Planet Google.org supports PHEV & V2G with [link] project. Formed in 2002, our efforts for "100+MPG Hybrids" took off when we built PRIUS+ , the worlds first plug-in Prius). Vehicle-to-grid interface technology is also particularly well suited to Plug-in vehicles.
The Think City was short-lived in the States with production halting in 2002 after just 1005 cars had been assembled. The electricity for recharging has to come from somewhere, which means power plants. While Id been harsh on the need for outside recharge stations in the past, actually an intermediate charge may extend battery life.
The four-door sedan will deliver 40 miles on a charge; a small gasoline engine will recharge the battery as it approaches depletion, extending its range by as much as 200 miles. It offers 18 models that deliver 30 mpg or more. Posted by: Na | Apr 13, 2009 4:28:53 PM 18 models that get 30 mpg, yeah right! Thats short-sighted.
