What everyone is missing is that v2g is vehicle to grid. In other words you can power the grid with the batteries in your vehicle. I don’t see the attraction.  Sent from AT Yahoo Mail for iPhone On Monday, October 4, 2021, 6:45 PM, Peter VanDerWal via EV wrote: > Also, what a great way to

Re: [EVDL] speaking of range estimation

Here is a thought. Do you drive an ICE this way? Always looking at how many mile to empty? For most people my guess is no, older cars don't even have that option. The old gas gauges weren't even linear moving less when full and more as it empty's so the last half tank you go fewer miles than

Re: [EVDL] Tesla Y actual wall outlet efficiency

Well, that’s not how efficiency is measured but I think I know what you mean. The Wh per mile is mostly a function of weight. Aero starts to weigh in around 55mph. On conversions a good estimate is weight divided by 10. My car weighs 3100 lbs with me in it and I got around 300wh/m. Tesla beat

I don’t know why! I have a Tesla Model S with 100kwh battery. My onboard  charger is 10 or 12 kw. So 50 amps is the most the car will take anyway. Unless you are putting in an ac to dc inverter EVSE I don’t see any advantage  Sent from AT Yahoo Mail for iPhone On Tuesday, November 2, 2021,

I didn’t know that. However I rarely need to charge at 12 kW. I normally charge On a 110 outlet. When I drive long distances I use a supercharger. If it takes three days to get back to 80% I don’t care because I still have plenty to run around town Sent from AT Yahoo Mail for iPhone On

Many people believe oil is a couple of. If companies buy it is much more complicated than that with 100’s of companies drilling, storing, transporting, refining etc. certain segments aren’t profitable. I think refineries get subsidized but I’m just a casual observer  Sent from AT Yahoo Mail

Be interested to see those numbers. by my calculation a Falcon 9 launch produces 425 metric tonnes per launch. So far total launches period for Space x is around 150 counting all their Rockets. there has been 3 heavy launches that produce 2683 metric tonnes. 147 x 425 = 62,475 + 3 x 2683 =
