Re: [diesel_mercedes] Re: Just do the math. OFF TOPIC.

 

I would think that it would be possible to totally eliminate conventional brakes on electric cars by using regenerative braking similar to the technology used in my radio controlled car?  With brushless electric motors, that would make the drivetrain virtually maintenance-free!

I can only tell you my experience. I get a lot of free charges. I have 2.4 kw of solar on my roof. We figured we paid 900 dollars in three years for 39k miles of driving. Mostly for fast chargers and charging at home. We have free charging at our place of work provided by Adobe. So we go to work at 6:30 ish, out by 10:15 ish. Just enough time for a full charge to go back home to San Francisco. Even if we used the dirtiest electricity we are still the cleanest form of transport other than electric trains. So much solar in Hawaii they stopped issuing permits. You should see wind power in California. Very big and growing. Really helps local smog. If they stopped pumping, transporting, refining, transporting again we would have plenty of energy for alternative energy. No more smog. No more wrenching, well much less..bearings, brakes and tires mostly. So the math is
done. Just have to follow the equation. Or not. My project vehicle is a tandem recumbent trike with a solar panel on top...have to start somewhere. Lawrence Rhodes
