Re: Electric car engineering issues

There was a study by the US department of energy that I think said the existing power generation is enough to power the whole vehicle fleet. Not found the reference yet...

Let me pose a question: What does actually use electricity at night? Some factories, disco clubs, Vegas, but I think that mostly it is just lights. If someone would turn all the unnecessary ones off, there would probably be loads of juice available.

There has been a news report that one town in germany actually switched all the lights off and provided a SMS service for the residents to turn on the lights they need.

Smart grid is a must.

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.

Share the love!
