You may be right, though you aren't taking into account the other 
factors, most importantly the long term maintenance.


However, I think the bigger factor is the amount of time you need to 
spend charging on a long road trip. If you only drive 200 or so miles a 
day, no problem. You can charge at night. But if you are like most 
people and drive 500+, you'll need at least two charging stops, which 
will add a few hours to your travel. You might be able to combine that 
with meal stops or point of interest stops, but I don't think the 
infrastructure is that opportune yet.


In the future, when we have faster charging and competition on kWh 
pricing, I hope we'll be on the other side of the inflection point.

Hi folks
It seems that it's cheaper for taking long road trips to buy a Prius Prime vs a 
pricier Tesla or Bolt with a 60kwh battery pack and pay an average of 28c per 
kWh average on the road at level 3 fast charging stations.  We have shorter 
range cheaper EVs (Spark bought 1 year old for $14k and Leaf $9.2k). At $3 a 
gallon/50 = 6c per mile and at 28c per kWh / 4 (ac meas)= 7c per mile in a long 
range EV (also have to pay $40k for the car with the 60kwh or so battery pack). 
Maybe it's better for the environment to drive a long range EV but for your 
wallet the Prius Prime and a shorter range EV for 90% miles local trips makes 
more sense.

That's one of the rare cases where something like a Tesla Powerwall may be cost

I did not find this to be the case in a Tesla. You can get enough charge to 
continue the trip in 30 minutes after that the charging rate starts to 
drop. I didn't find that it took me a noticeable amount of time longer than a 
gasoline car.
Of course, I am not one of those people that stop for bathroom breaks and then 
right back on the road. I like to stretch my legs get something to drink or 
eat. We never had to wait on the car to charge, by the time we were through it 
was done enough to continue sometimes as little as 15 minutes and other 
times 30 minutes... if we eat lunch we might be 45 minutes. i few times I had 
to move the car to avoid idle 
 fees because we weren't through.

Re: [EVDL] Road Trips: plugin vs EV cost per mile

2019-05-22 Thread paul dove via EV
So, you don't plug your Hybrids in at all? 

I have heard the Prius gets relatively poor mileage until the engine warms up.  
  During this warmup time, it gets about 35 to 40 miles per gallon.  If your 
driving consists of purely short, say five mile, trips - you will not get 50 
miles per gallon.
You can also get less than 50 miles per gallon by driving very fast, over 73 
miles per hour. Obviously, if you drive very aggressively the mileage will also 
suffer.
What about a hilly area does it get 50 miles per gallon?
I have a Tesla model 3 and I get on average 260Wh/mile.  I drove from Alabama 
to New Orleans 435 miles and it cost me 38.46 on Tesla Superchargers. 8.8 cents 
a mile. But like others have said it is only the second long trip and I have 
had the car for over a year. Most of the time I charge in the garage at 10 
cents a KWh.

Re: [EVDL] LREV vs SREV

Granted you can save some money and buy a used EV with short range.  I am sold 
on the Supercharging Network of Tesla.  I got 90 miles of range in less than 10 
minutes on my last trip which was enough to get me to my Hotel where I charged 
for free.  Then next night I again charged at the hotel on 120 v which was 
enough to get home.  So I paid a minuscule amount on that trip.   Then there is 
the cool factor of nearly Autonomous driving.  Top that off with software 
updates which makes the car better every few months and The Tesla is just 
amazing.  Of course I am biased since my TM3 is my first EV.

That's my strategy, Mark. I've been driving EVs since the 1970's, but 
they've all been short-range "around town" cars. I used them for all my 
daily driving. But I always had a gas car as well, for long trips.


In 2000 we bought one of the first Prius. It became our long-distance 
car. At 50+ mpg and SULEV, it fit the bill nicely.


Today, we have a Leaf for around-town driving, and a plug-in Prius for 
trips.

Re: [EVDL] Road Trips: plugin vs EV cost per mile (4 cents average)

2019-05-22 Thread Robert Bruninga via EV
People rarely do the math.  Say they do a 660 mile trip 3 times a year and
they drive the normal American 15,000 miles a year, then the trip mileage
is only 13% of their total usage.  Miniscule.

For a pure EV. Yes, they pay 28 cents per kwh for that 13% of the time,
but all the rest of the time they pay very reduced rates overnight.  Our
utility offers EV charging overnight at 3 cents per kWh.   That's almost
TEN TIMES cheaper than when they charge on the road.

So 87% of 3 cents and 13% of 28 cents AVERAGES to 6 cents per kWh or about
2 cents a mile
Even if they pay 10 cents per kWh, then the annual average electricity
cost is 12.3 cents per kWh or about 4 cents a mile.

Who cares that they spend a little extra  on trips when the annual average
cost is so low.

And for my family, daughter has a Prius Prime who's daily use is under 30
miles and my Volt for my 35 mile days.  And at 87% electric, I'm still
only 13% the environmental concerns of a gas car.

Consider yourself lucky that you get that low of an off-peak rate.  Ours is 
either 12 or 13 cents depending on Summer or Winter for the overnight TOU rate.

[EVDL] EVLN: BAIC handbag EV on Internet-Valentine's-Day.cn r-nedc:300km

https://www.electrive.com/2019/05/22/a-small-car-or-a-big-handbag/
A small electric car or a very roomy handbag?
May 22, 2019  Carrie Hampel

[image  
https://www.electrive.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/baic-bjev-handbag.png
BAIC BJEV China baic-bjev-handbag
]

How about an electric car made to look like a handbag? That’s what BAIC BJEV
has come up with for its launch edition EV released on China’s ‘Internet
Valentine’s Day’ on May 20. While they’ve made some questionable style
choices, other features seem rather fun.

To start with the obvious, those handbag handles on top of the roof is an
accessory you might want to get rid of sooner or later. But, as you will get
noticed in the little electric car anyway – despite it being about the same
length as a Smart – you might want to make good use of the LED displays at
the front and back that allow designing emoticons or messages for public
display. Just be careful what you say, as this future-fancy, cheap, flashy
little car with a questionable top has upgraded voice recognition.

But handbag handles aside (please!), according to Gasgoo China Automotive
News, the performance data isn’t bad either: The Lite-R300 has an electric
motor at the rear axle with a maximum output of 40kW and torque peak of 140
Nm. A 30kWh lithium battery enables an NEDC range of up to 300km. The little
electric car can charge up to 80% of its battery capacity within 30 minutes
in fast charging mode.

Admittedly also appealing, is the three futuristic, liquid crystal display
screens which make up an instrument panel, a centre console and an

Honda e Electric Vehicle Opens For Reservation In The U.K.

Honda e Electric Car Reservation Opens
]

Honda’s super adorable and somewhat retro-ish electric vehicle, Honda e, is
now available for reservation in the U.K. Honda U.K. has quietly launched a
reservation website where folks in U.K. can reserve the Honda e by
registering themselves on the website and putting down a £800 refundable
deposit. However, the exact availability and how much the car will
eventually cost are unknown at this point. It feels like Honda isn’t ready
to generate more buzz yet.

According to InsideEVs, the Japanese automaker said that “through the end of
the year, it will send invitations to customers to place orders.” Again,
“through the end of the year” is kind of vague and so, there is no way of
guessing when it will be. One interesting bit, though, the reservation
website actually allows you to choose from five available colors.

But really, that’s about all the website has to offer as far as insight into
the car. Whether or not the car will look exactly as the prototype revealed
earlier this year is not clear. Having said that, the details remain as
obscure as when it made its appearance in February. All we know is it will
provide a range of over 200 kilometers (124 miles) and the battery cells
supplied by Panasonic will support “fast charging” that will take it to 80
percent charge in 30 minutes.

Honda e is a rear-wheel drive vehicle, btw, which is awesome. However, not
sure if there will be an all-wheel drive variety in future.

Just a few weeks after hosting the press for their "Charge Forward"
technology workshop, Electrify America played host again, this time for the
2019 Combined Charging System Testing Symposium.

More than 200 engineers and technical experts from global automakers,
charging equipment manufacturers, charging networks and related companies
gathered at Electrify America's Center of Excellence laboratory to test the
next-generation technologies for electric vehicle charging.

Several global automakers tested vehicles at the symposium including Audi,
Fiat Chrysler, Karma Automotive and BMW of North America. BMW even brought
pre-production versions of their yet-to-be-released MINI Electric and BMW
iX3 for testing. 

“As a leader in the development of EV infrastructure, Electrify America
was excited to host industry game-changers as we work to set an
international standard for EV charging technology,” said Cliff Fietzek,
director of technology of Electrify America. “Electrify America recognizes
the impact of this technology on the future of electric vehicle charging,
specifically in creating customer convenience and encouraging EV adoption.”

While the symposium was held at Electrify America's headquarters in Reston,
Virginia, it was co-hosted by Hubject, and supported by CharIN. The
participants came together to test conformance and interoperability for
electric vehicles and the supporting charging infrastructure. The goal for
the 11th International Testing Symposium was to facilitate cooperation
between international automakers implementing the non-proprietary Combined
Charging System (CCS).

Attendees also shared information, research, best practices and data in an
effort to help accelerate the implementation of ISO 15188, commonly known as
Plug & Charge technology. Plug & Charge allows the charging station to
automatically authenticate the vehicle, like Tesla Superchargers do. The
owner simply plugs in the vehicle - that's all. There's no need for a credit
card, or RFID card to swipe. The owner's account is automatically billed for
the charging session. 

Electrify America has already announced that they will begin implementing
Plug & Charge technology by the end of this year.

2019-05-22 Thread Mark E Hanson via EV
Hi Paul,

 

The Prius & Prius Prime gets 50mpg (for the last 165K miles avg).  Is 260W/hr 
per mile or 3.85 miles per KWH at the AC outlet?  Sounds about right for a 
Tesla-3, a bit heavier than a 2800 Spark (I get 5 miles per KWH or 200W/hr per 
mile, the heavier Leaf is 4.3 miles per KWH or 232W/hr per mile but that's on 
the DC car gauge).  You have to measure your watt hours used at the AC outlet, 
quite a bit more after charging-inverter/battery inefficiencies.  

 

 

Have a Renewable Energy Day,

Mark

So, you don't plug your Hybrids in at all? 

 

I have heard the Prius gets relatively poor mileage until the engine warms up.  
  During this warmup time, it gets about 35 to 40 miles per gallon.  If your 
driving consists of purely short, say five mile, trips - you will not get 50 
miles per gallon.

 

You can also get less than 50 miles per gallon by driving very fast, over 73 
miles per hour. Obviously, if you drive very aggressively the mileage will also 
suffer.

 

What about a hilly area does it get 50 miles per gallon?

 

I have a Tesla model 3 and I get on average 260Wh/mile.  I drove from Alabama 
to New Orleans 435 miles and it cost me 38.46 on Tesla Superchargers. 8.8 cents 
a mile. But like others have said it is only the second long trip and I have 
had the car for over a year. Most of the time I charge in the garage at 10 
cents a KWh.

Hi folks

It seems that it's cheaper for taking long road trips to buy a Prius Prime vs a 
pricier Tesla or Bolt with a 60kwh battery pack and pay an average of 28c per 
kWh average on the road at level 3 fast charging stations.  We have shorter 
range cheaper EVs (Spark bought 1 year old for $14k and Leaf $9.2k). At $3 a 
gallon/50 = 6c per mile and at 28c per kWh / 4 (ac meas)= 7c per mile in a long 
range EV (also have to pay $40k for the car with the 60kwh or so battery pack). 
Maybe it's better for the environment to drive a long range EV but for your 
wallet the Prius Prime and a shorter range EV for 90% miles local trips makes 
more sense.

Ford Ranger Raptor review | Driving Ford's performance pickup | Autocar
]

Ford is poised to reveal what could be its most crucial (and controversial)
model yet: an all-electric, Mustang-inspired crossover.

Due to go on sale in 2020, a concept will be unveiled later this year and
the brand claims it will transfer the spirit of the iconic pony car into a
truly 21st century Tesla Model Y rival. 

Imagined by Autocar (above) the new model has yet to be officially named,
although Ford has reportedly ditched the originally floated ‘Mach 1’ tag
because of strong public opinion against the use of the branding
historically reserved for Mustangs. However, the Blue Oval recently applied
to trademark the ‘Mach-E’ nameplate, which seems a perfect fit, given the
car’s brief. 

The new car will be the first Ford designed as an electric car from the
ground up, with a bespoke new platform enabling both rear and four-wheel
drive. It will crown the brand’s wide-reaching electrification plan under
which European customers will be offered a hybrid, plug-in hybrid or fully
electric version of every new model launched. 

The only technical detail Ford has officially revealed is the car’s range:
it will be capable of 370 miles of WLTP-certified range on a single charge,
beating the Tesla Model X (351 miles) and Jaguar I-Pace (292 miles). A less
expensive version with less battery capacity and range is also expected. 
a black and red car © Provided by Haymarket Media Group

Ford claims charging will be “effortless” and it is “redesigning the
ownership experience to ensure it addresses customer pain points that
currently hold back broad [electric car] adoption”. The car’s performance
remains undisclosed, although chairman Bill Ford has previously claimed it
“is going to go like hell”. 

At a Bank of America summit last month, a Ford presentation showed that it
would offer a higher-performance variant of the electric crossover,
targeting the more accelerative versions of Tesla’s EVs. Although it is not
officially confirmed, reports suggest Ford will reveal the car’s name along
with the concept before the year is out. 

Like many of Ford’s recent models, it’ll be a globally engineered vehicle
with few changes between regions. UK deliveries are tipped to start in
late-2020. It’s not the only EV in Ford’s product plan, because the
Michigan-based maker is also working on a more affordable electric
crossover. Codenamed CX430, it will be based on the latest

Focus platform and be similar to the Kuga. The CX430 has been in Ford’s
product plan for several years. 

The long-awaited push into electrification comes after news that Ford will
be dropping former best-sellers from its US line-up: the Taurus, Fusion and
Focus, alongside the Fiesta. Ford’s supermini never found huge popularity in
the US, but the momentous decision to end Ford’s 110-year presence in the US
passenger saloon market sent a clear signal that profitability, not
diversity, is the new focus for the brand.

prepares for a future of electric and autonomous vehicles by parting ways
with 7000 white-collar workers worldwide, about 10 per cent of its global
salaried workforce ... About 6000 blue-collar positions were cut, but most

All-new hatchback surfaces online in EV form months ahead of scheduled debut
in Frankfurt.

The next-generation Opel Corsa has been leaked on an online forum, ahead of
its official reveal slated for later this year.

Posted to French forum WorldScoop, the revealing images were allegedly
posted to a news website by accident and taken down, though that didn't stop
one user from saving hi-res files and publishing them.

The eye-catching orange vehicle you see pictured is the electric model,
which appears to be dubbed 'Corsa-e'. This model is the first EV from the
Opel and Vauxhall brands, and shares its underpinnings with the new Peugeot
e-208.

Like the EV variant, the wider Corsa range also makes the switch to PSA's
CMP scalable architecture for compact models, which already underpins the
likes of the new Peugeot 208 and the DS 3 Crossback.

The new underpinnings not only allow for electrified powertrains, but also
are a lot lighter (the Corsa is apparently around 100kg lighter than before)
which should translate to notable improvements in fuel efficiency.

From the outset the Corsa looks a lot wider and lower than the current
model, doing away with the tall and skinny proportions that were so common
across previous-generation light hatchbacks.

Up front is a new interpretation of Opel's corporate face, with diamond-like
motifs in the front grille and intake, along with sharper headlights for a
more upmarket and aggressive look.

Speaking of the headlights, the company's 'IntelliLux' Matrix LED technology
will be available for the first time, also a first for the segment.

The rear offers a clean and curvy look that is somewhat generic, though the
LED tail-lights of the vehicle in the images are consistent with Opel's
'hook' light signature at the front.

The cabin looks to be a pretty decent step up compared to the outgoing
model, with a completely digital instrument cluster and large central
touchscreen dominating the dashboard of this EV variant.

It appears the Corsa has ditched the MyLink interface developed by previous
parent General Motors (GM) and employed PSA software – which makes sense
given the change in ownership.

We can also see the PSA shift-by-wire lever that is fairly ubiquitous across
the Citroen and Peugeot brands, though the steering wheel and dashboard
designs stay largely true to Opels of old.

According to the forum post, the Corsa has also grown about 40mm in length
and 18mm in width, which should afford noticeably more space for passengers
and cargo – the boot is said to measure around 309L now, which is up around
25L compared to the old model.

In terms of available powertrains, we'd say the Corsa-e will feature the
same 100kW electric motor hooked up to a 50kWh lithium-ion battery pack as
the e-208. The Peugeot's 340km range claim should serve as a guide, too ...

Australia
Given Opel pulled out of the Australian market a couple of years ago, it's
unlikely we'll see the Corsa in local showrooms anytime soon.

Currently, the Opel Astra and Insignia are available Down Under badged as
Holdens, though the recent acquisition of both Opel and Vauxhall by the PSA
Group from General Motors means the Australian lion brand won't be getting
any more Opel products in future given its GM ownership.

Re: [EVDL] Road Trips: plugin vs EV cost per mile (4 cents average)

2019-05-22 Thread Robert Bruninga via EV
Actually that 3 cent rate is a bait-and-switch.  They give you two meters.
And then if you take the 3 cent off-peak charging, then your house ON peak
rate goes way up to 17 cents (from ten)...

Consider yourself lucky that you get that low of an off-peak rate.  Ours
is either 12 or 13 cents depending on Summer or Winter for the overnight
TOU rate.

It’s almost always cheaper to pollute.

Re: [EVDL] Road Trips: plugin vs EV cost per mile

2019-05-22 Thread Lawrence Rhodes via EV
I think you would also have to put in the cost of maintenance, smog testing, 
oil changes, insurance...etc.  Then you would get the real cost.  I suspect the 
cost with incentives the Tesla and Prime would be very close depending on 
model. A stripped Prius Prime would be mid 20k.  Tesla High 20k.  However those 
are just guesses. Maybe members could chime in with their msrp numbers. In day 
to day use the Tesla would far outstrip the Prius.  I think the question is how 
many times would you go on long car trips. Lawrence Rhodes

Hi folks
It seems that it's cheaper for taking long road trips to buy a Prius Prime vs a 
pricier Tesla or Bolt with a 60kwh battery pack and pay an average of 28c per 
kWh average on the road at level 3 fast charging stations.  We have shorter 
range cheaper EVs (Spark bought 1 year old for $14k and Leaf $9.2k). At $3 a 
gallon/50 = 6c per mile and at 28c per kWh / 4 (ac meas)= 7c per mile in a long 
range EV (also have to pay $40k for the car with the 60kwh or so battery pack). 
Maybe it's better for the environment to drive a long range EV but for your 
wallet the Prius Prime and a shorter range EV for 90% miles local trips makes 
more sense.  
Have a renewable energy day,
Mark
