here were several electric car companies in the 1930's. You could even get you Dodge converted to electric by one company. What happened? Essentially same problem as today. You just can't stuff much propulsion energy into a battery. Half a ton of batteries, $30,000 and you have 16KW-hrs that takes you about 40 miles. That is the amount of energy in 0.4 gallon of gasoline. (And yes, there are unaccounted for inefficiencies in both the gasoline and battery charging/discharging, etc.) The situation was worse in 1930 because the volume & weight of 1930 batteries for 16KWH of energy was much greater than with today's batteries.(quoted from post at 12:51:03 12/04/09) An interesting thing is that just last evening at a Car Club meeting it was mentioned that someone in our city has a 1911 electric car on display. What killed that one?
Not charging station of future unless you have a very large over-nite parking lot with lots of 'pumps'.(quoted from post at 18:33:22 12/04/09) What i saw on the Volt it was originally marketed with a range like a common fuel car, about 300 mile to a charge. But when you get pass concept cars and come down to reality you get a 40 mile to a charge plus an alternate engine car.
There are companies that will juice up a Hybrid car for about 30K with a mileage of 100 miles per charge. MPC? They put in more and better batteries.
I wondered why the roof panels on most of these Hybrids wasn't solar panels, the common use of a car is drive to work and let it set in the sun for 8 hours and then go home, might not be much of a charge now but as technology improves.. I had saw one that did something like this but just used it for vehicle cooling.
Are battery charging stations the gas stations of the future?
uess I ought to add one more thing.(quoted from post at 22:41:10 12/04/09) An interesting alternative that is getting little press COULD be the use of super/ultra capacitors rather than batteries for energy storage.
Though much progress has already been made, further breakthroughs will be necessary before this technology MIGHT be applicable to vehicles.
One significant advantage is the elimination of the time consuming chemical reactions inherent in the charge/discharge processes inherent with battery technology as well as improved life resulting therefrom.
Imagine, if you will, pulling into a future charging station, plugging in the water cooled charging cable, and "filling up" at 10K or 20K amps for a few seconds before heading back to the interstate.
I think this scenario holds far more promise then electrochemical batteries for automotive applications.
