Cwhite138 Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Plug in hybrid is much more logical for the typical comuter. How many hybrid batteries in one bev.? Toyota is smart in this play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind of like Hunter Biden or the Trump kids. Just there but unimportant and just collecting millions. rarely do CEO resigns even though that is what is reported.

You still have all the Ice maintenance, have the extra weight of an EV and typically the chassis aren’t optimized for either powertrain. As they are jamming 2 different powertrains into 1 chassis. Plug in hybrid removes both the advantages of an ICE and EV batteries for slight improvement in mpg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only ever hear the perrills of ice maintenance when some one is trying to prop up evs. A hybrid that you can drive batt only for 70mi is the best of both worlds.

You still have every ounce of maintenance of an Ice power plant. Oil, filters, and whatever maintenance a gas car has. Jeep for example they added around 700 lbs to a wrangler to get 20 miles of range electric at a very inefficient mile per kWh and you still have to do all the ice maintenance 70 miles of range is a pretty big battery adding weight. 1500lb system at the minimum added to the weight of an ice vehicle. When in EV mode the efficiency is way down as the electric are lugging around dead weight of an ice powertrain and the electric system isn’t optimized for electric driving. Plug in hybrid efficiencies in electric mode are worse than a hummer EV. There is no cost savings in a plug in hybrid using electricity over a non phev version of the same vehicle. Once the battery is depleted your ice power plant has to lug around the dead weight reducing mpg of the gas engine. these are just my experience over 50k miles with a phev in the house. My electricity consumption would go down in my house hold for the wife’s daily driving if I had a hummerEV over the phev Edited January 27, 2023 by BOHICA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platinum Contributing Member SnowRider Posted January 27, 2023 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted January 27, 2023 Bohica is on the leading edge of alternative power generation and EV’s. I’ve learned a few things reading his posts. It’s comical reading some of you morons who’d still be feeding a horse and oiling your leather reins on the buggy try and refute what he says.

Gold Member BOHICA Posted January 27, 2023 Author Gold Member Share Posted January 27, 2023 Pretty interesting take on Japan’s hydrogen society annd why it is ultimately turn out to be a spectacular failure. Might have something to do with Toyota’s “resigning” thing as he was a huge proponent of this. https://www.popularmechanics.com/science/green-tech/a42665011/japan-hydrogen-energy-failure/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same goes for ICE vehicles, and ICE fanboys have a hard time admitting that as well. I think both sides see admitting the opposite power systems positives points as an overall loss for their own side. Both sides should embrace the benefits of the other. They are better in some situations and the explosion relatively recently is showing that. Neal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
