Hi MW. I think your post hits the EV vs FC issues square on the head. I am a lurker, mostly, and crave information about the future of personal transportation. When I talk with others about what's out there, I find it most useful to understand the difference between EV, FC and ICE. The efficency di

The one that gets me are the RV (recreation vehicle) salesmen when talking about the house battery capacity will refer to it as 100 - or 200 - amp hours. Knowing that they're talking about a 12v system, I believe the math would be 100 amp hours at 12v would be 1.2 KWh's. Do I have this right? btw

Then just put them on the down hill portion of Highways where vehicles are braking or using a lower gear to keep the speed down. Like coming off the Grapevine (I5). Put them in the right hand lanes where heavy trucks are actually trying to slow down. Leave the lefthand lane for EV's who are enjoyin
