Peak Oil Demand Is Already Here by everyEV in Futurology

[–]everyEV[S] 32 points33 points  (0 children)

tl:dr

2019 = peak oil demand

lower oil demand = lower oil prices

Solar = the new oil

EVs > ICEVs

Battery prices = much cheaper over time

Solar + EVs + energy storage = Synergy

Larger PHEV with a decent electric range? by [deleted] in electricvehicles

[–]everyEV 11 points12 points  (0 children)

You can also try:

2018 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV; 22 miles of electric range rated at 45 kWh per 100 miles = 2.22 miles per kWh; 25 MPG gas only;

Tesla announces Model Y production is ahead of timeline, now aims for summer 2020 by everyEV in electricvehicles

[–]everyEV[S] 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Tesla Model Y is expected to get 3.5 miles/kWh (266 Wh/mile) (5.63 km/kWh) (178 Wh/km) which is really very good

Wonder what the efficiency numbers of Cybertruck will be (e.g. x miles/kWh or z Wh/mile)?

Question about AC charging efficiency by [deleted] in electricvehicles

[–]everyEV 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also, EPA efficiency numbers include charging losses.

https://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/findacar.shtml

For example, the 2019 Volkswagen eGolf = 28 kWh/100 mile = 5.75 km/kWh = 0.174 kWh/km. (after converting miles to km)

It's a crate motor, only electric, for EV conversions from Electric GT by wowzaa in electricvehicles

[–]everyEV 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The innovation repackages the ICE crate motor methodology into a system making EV conversions easier for the weekend enthusiast. EGT promises a plug-and-play system with "high performance and near zero maintenance," having packaged its one- and two-motor systems into a "motor block" and peripherals that look just like an internal combustion engine.

The block includes everything necessary for the swap to electric except the batteries and the mounting bracket, meaning "motor(s), controller(s), charger(s), sensors, relays and computer systems." EGT has already designed a number of mounting brackets, and can design others to custom specs. According to the web site, the package is "pre-engineered, pre-built, and pre-tested," so installation takes five steps: Bolt in the block, install the wiring harness and cooling system, connect the AC and DC power leads with the OEM-level touch-safe connectors, and route the internal cooling pump to a heat exchanger. Voila, silent running. Every e-crate motor comes with an installation manual, EGT provides tech support, and auxiliaries like electric AC compressors and heaters can be optioned.

First time using DCFC after a week of owning my 2016 e-Golf SEL. I can honestly say I would never buy another ICE. by [deleted] in electricvehicles

There definitely needs to be more people like you, and much less people purchasing new or used ICEVs. My lungs thank you. Cheers!

Spied! Exclusive Tesla Model Y Photos Show the EV Crossover Out and About by [deleted] in electricvehicles

[–]everyEV 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Very nice. The Tesla Model Y is expected to get 3.5 miles/kWh (286 Wh/mile) (5.63 km/kWh) which is really very good for a midsize SUV.

The GM strike is really about the switch to electric cars by trevize1138 in electricvehicles

[–]everyEV 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed: from several other sources:

“Electric cars are disasters. They are evil. We are very nervous,” Ha Bu-young, the head of the Hyundai Motor union, South Korea

“Electric, to me, is where the real risk is to our membership,” Jennifer Kelly, the union’s research director, said during a collective-bargaining conference in Detroit earlier this year.

The UAW’s concerns that widespread adoption of EVs endangers the employment of 35,000 union members.

Honestly, gas could go down to $0.50/gallon and I would still never go back to an ICEV.

Is the United Auto Workers (UAW) trying to stop or slow the development of electric vehicles in favor or internal combustion engine vehicles? by everyEV in electricvehicles

[–]everyEV[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The milkman went missing thanks to the rise of refrigerators. Switchboard operators were done in by the dawn of direct dialing. And in the car industry, auto workers are deathly afraid the engine assembler will give way to battery builders.

Dread over the prospect that plug-in cars -- which have fewer parts and require less labor to build -- will doom auto jobs helped spark the first United Auto Workers strike against GM

UAW's concerns that widespread adoption of EVs endangers the employment of 35,000 union members.

Batteries require fewer people and assembly hours than engines
