When Straubel—also known for his 1984 Porsche 944 EV conversion—left Tesla, he founded Redwood Materials , a leading lithium battery recycling company in Carson City, Nevada. He was also the owner of the California Poppy Porsche 914. So I looked on the internet and bought a Porsche 914 conversion, 5-speed with no clutch.

Porsche has presented the second generation of its Le Mans Prototype 919 Hybrid race car. Porsche 919 Hybrid, 2015. A liquid-cooled lithium-ion battery—developed by A123 Systems in cooperation with Porsche—temporarily stores converted braking energy from the front axle as well as converted exhaust-gas energy.

Genesis calls it the “G80 Electrified,” but instead of having it cast in with a bunch of hybrids and plug-in hybrids, we at Clean Fleet Report will simply call it as it is—the G80 EV. Genesis invited automotive media to Bentonville, Arkansas, to drive the G80 EV through the winding Ozark Mountain roads.

Hackenberg, the first-generation modular longitudinal matrix was used in 2007 for the A5, followed by the A4, A6, A7 Sportback, A8, Q5 and Q7 as well as the Porsche Macan. A highlight was the new arrangement of the clutch and torque converter behind the differential, resulting in a longer wheelbase. Hackenberg said.

Electricity used to charge plug-in vehicles should come exclusively from renewable energy resources, such as wind and solar power, he suggested—otherwise, there is no greenhouse gas emission advantage over a conventional vehicle with optimized fuel consumption. Since the ideal battery is not around yet, we have to introduce hybrids.

There is also battery regeneration, when coasting or braking, kinetic energy is converted into electric energy and returns it to the battery to add driving range. It was redesigned and wind tunnel-tested to be more aerodynamic. There is no shame in charging alongside lesser EVs out in the wilds of a shopping mall!

The PHEV (Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle), a subset of the electric car, combines a primary electric motor with a much smaller back-up engine fueled with a hydrocarbon/biofuel mix. (In Andrew Frank is a significant industry dignitary credited as being the “Inventor” (or “Father”) of the modern day Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle.

Regenerative braking, which uses the motors to slow the car, recharges the battery when slowing or coasting converting kinetic energy into electric energy, which is stored in the battery. The two other Kia EV6 models—Wind and GT-Line—come in either rear-wheel drive (RWD) with one motor or all-wheel drive (AWD) with two motors.

The Tucson, Santa Fe, Elantra and Sonata come as hybrid and/or plug-in hybrids, the Nexo is powered by electricity via a hydrogen fuel cell, and the Ioniq 5 and Ioniq 6 are battery electric. Wind and road noise were reduced partly due to acoustic laminated glass and sound deadening insulation. Hyundai gets electricity.

Think has even shown a convertible prototype. Today we could be using lead-acid EVs, lead-carbon-acid EVs, or nickel metal hydride or lithium-ion hybrids. Glad to see the variety & availability of electic commuter cars (vs hybrids & PHEV) is rising. Lastly, hybrids & plug-in hybrids are an unfortunate diversion.
