Well, duh. The heater's not working off from engine coolant...


Think about this. That waste heat wasn't free. It's unused energy. That means
you've had to put much more potential into the gasoline engine to get what you
need. With electric, less energy is required. Of course, the heat is nice when
it's cold. Still, from an energy perspective, the gasoline engine is rather
wasteful.


That's a shift of the subject, which was range under worst-case
conditions.

Since you bring-up efficiency, I wonder what the total efficiency of
the electric system is. Waste in the generation process. Waste in
the distribution process. Waste in the charging and discharging of
the batteries. Waste in the electric motor.

and putting a 100A 240V outlet in
the garage for a charger does not require a major retrofit.



Well, I got 200 amp, and I'm out in the boonies.


Your a business. Makes a difference. I have 100 amp in this house
and my last two. I can get more but would pay dearly for it.

The problem is not efficient of the engine is as such. The problem is
that it in most cases is burning fosile fules and releasing CO2 that
was "in the loop" millions of years ago.

If you run the gasoline engine on bio-fuels produced from plants
growing *today*, there is no issue with the C02 emissions.

Yet another subject shift.

Much of our electricity comes from burning coal or natural gas, BTW.

Yes, the fact that Chrysler ends up on the very bottom of all
reliability lists by experts must all be coincidence too. It's
probably best that I ignore that and listen to some random person on
Usenet.

Exactly, My father in law Had a 1968 Chrysler Stn wagon, 224,000 miles
best car he ever owned.
My son had a 1988 Toyota ForeRunner 241,000 miles, 1 PS pump, warranty
Great.
He then had a 2003 Chevy Silverado 195,000 KM,nary a problem .
He also had a Dodge Magic wagon, Piece of crap
So now you can say there are millions of good ones and yes a few lemons.

Yes, although even conventional oil technology has improved dramatically.
You get a narrower range of molecular weights and way better viscosity
improvers than you did even back in the nineties. So oil that does not
turn to putty in the cold. Synthetic technology makes it even better.

Add in fuel injection and you get a far more pleasant starting experience.

It's not bad. Depending on where you are, you can figure the overall
loss between the plant and your doorstep to be between 10% and 15%.
(Mind you if you live in some place like Hawaii where the grid is rather
small, it can be better than that).

Efficiency of the power plant itself isn't so good, it's on the order
of a 35% loss on the average. Can be better in some places, worse in others
but that's about typical for coal or gas fired systems. (Now, if you live
in someplace like Hawaii it's worse than that because you have to take into
account the waste in getting the coal out to you which is pretty substantial
in such places.)

Efficiency of the motors is very close to 100%. I don't know what the
efficiency of the battery is and that could be a big issue although that's
a thing that is still improving.

Figure typical gasoline engines have maybe 10% to 30% efficiency. Again that
is a ballpark number... you can guarantee that an Olds 442 in stop and go
traffic isn't going to get anything like that, and you might do better than
that on the highway with a small modern engine.

But I'm thinking if you did the math more precisely it would tend to be a
tossup.

The 60 mph winds we had for the past 3 days blew the covers off
the MGB so I went out to fix it today. Just for grins I thought
I would take a shot at starting it and running the temp up before
covering it. Started right up and ran really well. So much for
the a bunch of myths like:
a) British cars are crap
b) gasoline cars (especially with carburetors) don't work when it
gets cold

Gotta love it.

How do you think they generated the electricity to charge your
car? With inefficiencies on the generating end as well as the
using end.

Funny, Europe seems to have changed their tune on that one lately.
