[EVDL] As an aid when recommending an EV to someone else,

One question that a potential EV car buyer always asks is "Just how far it will take me before another charge is needed? " Perhaps we should have another computation available, as comparison, for each vehicle: Cost to drive 40 miles (Average daily commute.) (Dollars per mile.) Time to drive

Ask any marketing guy: slamming the other guy's product doesn't automatically promote your competing one. This unfair measure, assuming it's not defeated in court, will only result in a long-overdue driver revolt in Britain, not in enhanced sales of electrics and hybrids. I smell another big ga

Re: [EVDL] Hybrid Mustang: AC or DC?

How about getting the air-conditioner from a wrecked Leaf? On our (non-wrecked) 2012 Leaf, the A/C uses hardly any juice as compared to its hot-water electric resistance heating system, which will use either 1500 or 3000 watts, depending on how much you ask it to do. I think the A/C probably
