Don Terrill’s Speed-Talk

You're welcome!

I am sure all here are equally convinced by the facts you have quoted and the sound logic used to reach your conclusion.

You can assume anything you want. I don't care. Are you going to debate that an electric motor (any type) when being in a high torque, low speed situation is going to draw a lot of amps ? Are you going to debate that drawing that much amps means a lot of power is consumed, power that needs to come ...

A soundly reasoned case. Well put sir!

You mean an electrician right?

An "engineer" (with a "degree") would recognise this is nonsense.

Wow.

Was anything ever done about 911? I haven't kept up on it? pdq67 Not much. Invaded one country, deployed a bunch of troops for 20 years in another, had a lot of people sent to Egypt for torture, took a lot of people to Guantanamo for non-torture, killed the top guy from the outfit that did it . . ....

Have any gas or diesel hybrids been sold such that the ICE ran a gen. to power the electric side and when the electric side peters out, kicks over to run the vehicle??

If so, what cars?

BMW I3 with range extender I think.

As a matter of a fact, in my country the gov has decided to start a new pricing system for electricity in which you pay extra for peak power you consume. Imagine having to connect an EV to the grid :lol: Which is actually one of the advantages of EVs. Charging can be done any time the vehicle is no...

Staggering that these multi-billion dollar auto-makers haven't thought of this stuff!

Good luck finding the real cost of electricity - any type - any market. There are always hidden inbuilt subsidies or taxes. And then how do you quantify the cost of any environmental degradation?

Chances are you are not VW's target market.

VW Zwickau factory is being converted to "EV only" production for 2021. Capacity is 330,000 units p.a. making it the largest EV factory in Europe.
