EV ?? versus ICE ? : Chevrolet Equinox Edition Suggestion from Jim Koscs! #ev #engineering #gm #battery #energy

It costs $1,700 extra to get the hybrid version of the Toyota Highlander. Here's why it's worth it: 1. More responsive acceleration: electric motors are all about instant torque, and this helps make the car feel quicker. 2. Gasoline savings: in under three years of driving, the Toyota Highlander Hybrid will have already broke even with the non-hybrid. 3. Fewer carbon emissions: as the fuel economy is improved by 44%, tailpipe emissions are cut by the same factor.* * yes, we have to consider the emissions from sourcing the battery components, but the Highlander uses a relatively small 1.9 kWh NiMH unit. #evs #battery #hybrid #engineering #energy

Living with an electric car rewires your brain. No longer are parking lots seen as places to simply leave your car. They are now seen as opportunities for your vehicle to gain energy. Any time my car is idle, I view it as an opportunity to gain energy via a level 2 charger. Going to lunch for an hour? That's 8kWh of energy, or 27 miles of range! Exploring a new town for 2 hours? That's 15kWh, or 53 miles of range! Embarking on a rugged hike for 4 hours? That's 30kWh, or 106 miles of range! Sleeping over at a hotel for 10 hours? That's 76kWh or 266 miles of range! These rounded estimates use a 7.6 kW charger on a normal electric car (around 3.5 mi. per kWh) Photo credit: me! #energy #phev #ev #engineering

Ford Motor Company's electric cars: 2012 ====> 2025 #ev #battery #engineering #electriccars

There is nothing more antithetical to the concept of efficiency than pure gasoline-powered cars. The most fuel-efficient gas-powered car is the Mitsubishi Mirage, an arguably terrible car that makes 78 horsepower. But it only gets 39 mpg. To get better fuel economy, you need to electrify as there is so much wasted energy through braking. The Toyota Prius gets 57 mpg, a 46% increase over the mirage. It's also a larger vehicle and has 116 more horsepower. There's a ceiling with ICEV efficiency, and a hybrid powertrain can help it break through. Also, while some might comment on why I added 0-60 times, first off, I rarely read the comments. Second, it shows that power and efficiency are no longer mutually exclusive with electrification. #ev #hybrid #battery #engineering

Today was an excellent opportunity to learn about CANalyzer software from VECTOR North America. Many thanks to Joshua Hawkins for delivering an excellent presentation on how to implement and utilize this automotive technology!

Today, Clemson University and Greenville Technical College received the keys to their Stellantis Ram Promaster EV. Over the course of the next year and a half, the team will design, fabricate, and manufacture a high-voltage lithium-ion battery for the van!
