2,000-Horsepower Electric Dragster Sets New Drag Record: Video
Oh, nooooo!
Not more bad news for our Warmist pals!
Yup.....AAA tested electric cars and found they perform poorly in cold weather......
....and in hot weather.
1. "The average electric vehicle battery range for each full charge in AAA's test was 105 miles at 75 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. That dropped 57% to 43 miles when the temperature was held steady at 20 degrees.
3. Warm temperatures were not as stressful but still delivered a lower average of 69 miles per full charge at 95 degrees, AAA said.
4. The AAA Automotive Research Center in Southern California found that the average range of an electric car dropped 57% in very cold weather at 20 degrees Fahrenheit and by 33% in extreme heat, a temperature of 95 degrees.
5. .....we did not expect the degradation we saw," said Greg Brannon, AAA's director of automotive engineering.....a 2013 Nissan Leaf, a 2012 Mitsubishi iMIEV and a 2014 Ford Focus Electric Vehicle....
a. ...The three vehicles chosen were selected because they're the most widely available electric cars in the USA,...
6. ....two of the vehicles, ... were equipped with dedicated management of the battery temperature.
"We were expecting that difference would yield differences in the optimal range of the vehicles in extreme temperatures," he said. "It did not."
7. Among AAA's recommendations: storing the electric car in a garage; monitoring recharge times in colder weather; preheating or cooling the car while it's plugged in to reduce battery drain, and using electric seat heaters to keep warm."
AAA: Range of electric cars cut in cold, hot weather
So.....as long as the temperature is 75 degrees.....you're fine.
Only driving indoors is the answer......
Or......hope for global warming.
So, you are stupid enough to run this again. The Prius has a gasoline engine. So, if it needs a charge, there is something else wrong. Only are really stupid sucker would post a picture like that. Guess that describes you.Oh, nooooo!

Lightning motorcycle beats the best of the ICE's by a whopping 20 seconds at Pike Peak.
Electric engines will always have a huge advantage in acceleration, so they are perfect for motorcycles. The magnetic field produces immediate torque, thanks to the bio savard Laplace law of field to current interactions. Combustion engines need to rev up first.
The problem is ranging, so can't carry big loads too far, like a car. This is because there is no way to pack as many lithium atoms in the same volume as covalent bonds in gasoline. So the energy density of batteries will always be lower.

from what i read you get about a 100 miles with this bike on a good day
not really that great
cool bike though
Yes, that is the case with the present batteries. However, there are several types of batteries being tested that can increase that range by a factor of 2 to 5 times.Electric engines will always have a huge advantage in acceleration, so they are perfect for motorcycles.

Partly true. Have a look at what they are playing with in Lithium Air, and Zinc Air batteries. The technology is really just getting off the ground.Electric engines will always have a huge advantage in acceleration, so they are perfect for motorcycles.

they have been saying that for a long time
im not holding my breath for it to happen

Current battery tech has been working okay for normal commuting. The wife didn't use any gasoline from July to December in her plug in hybrid, and it only has 20 miles of range. The old Volt was nice, but wasn't as good as making the transition to pure highway traveler. The parallel system in the Ford does it better.
Normally, I don't drive more than 20 miles in a day. However, when I go looking at rocks, 500 miles a day is not unusual. So a plugin hybrid mini-van hybrid would be ideal for me, until they develop the high density batteries. However, since I always drive my vehicles until the wheels fall off, they have plenty of time to develop those by the time I wear out my present vehicles.

true
out here though one can easily put on a hundred miles or more in a day
The golf course sure is buzy with them thar electric horseless carriages...Oh, nooooo!
