By comparison, an electric car has only half the friction loss of that of a car with a conventional internal combustion engine.

Current versions of renewable energy such as solar cells and windmills do far less damage to the environment than oil rigs, fracking, and strip mining, but they do damage the environment. That is the only comparison that matters. Windmills can harm migrating birds, and solar cells require toxic substances to be manufactured.

The hydrogen fuel cell in the FCEV acts to keep the battery charged, but can directly power the electric drive motor, similar to the function of a gasoline-powered range extender. The only by products are water and a fair degree of heat, the latter indicating a degree of inefficiency and wasted energy.

An electric vehicle is a type of vehicle that uses one or more electric motors for propulsion instead of an internal combustion engine that runs on fossil fuels like gasoline or diesel. Electric motors have higher efficiency rates compared to internal combustion engines, which waste a significant amount of energy as heat.

Scientist have confirmed that unlike gasoline cars, plug-ins will get cleaner as they get older -- because our power grid is getting cleaner. For people looking for the most effective way to end our addiction to oil, PHEVs have made sense because carmakers can build them now, with todays technology and using todays infrastructure.

Though the PHEV combines the two types of energy and power, it is not merely a temporary “transition” between gasoline and diesel cars to pure electric cars. Since it can refuel from a standard household outlet and from a gasoline station, it needs no new infrastructure. It is much more than that. Conclusions. slow charge.

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. That way you have a fair basis of comparison, you know, apples to apples and all that jazz. The car is expected to cost around $40,000. Thats short-sighted.
