Recharge your electric car while you drive !!!

Re: The class action suit From my experience, this claim seems spurious. I have nothing to do with the plaintiff or the Honda Motor Company, but I do have extensive experience with my 2006 Honda Civic Hybrid with 64,200 mi in Alaska. First, I still get 51mpg but only under ideal conditions. Ideal conditions are reasonable: summer driving, level smooth dry highway with little or no obstructing traffic or stops. It goes without saying that one must use the specified premium fuel and 0-20 weight oil preferably synthetic. In addition, tire pressure must be as specified or higher along with appropriate summer tires. Snow tires will not do it. The air dam must still be in place and the full-length aerodynamic pan beneath the undercarriage.   Wind resistance degrades milage severely above 55mph and with a headwind. Secondly, the Honda gives me 50mpg under these conditions between 55 and 60 mph in summer driving. I get 47mpg if I push it to 65-70. Town driving yields 39-43 in the summe...

The outcome at Daytona was sad. Despite the #59car posting the fastest qualifying time, the race ended in lap 7 when a 10 car pileup took Leilani out of the race. Check the above link for a photo of #59 in the pole position. I am still anxious to learn if this car races with any hybrid technology, or if any such is planed for the future. I think the public will buy electric cars when they see lightning shoot out of the exhayst and Leilani at the wheel. If you are curious, check out the new Porche 918 Spyder .

An "E" sponsor and a Green and Save race car, but does it have an "e" booster? and "e" brakes? Ah, a secrete weapon! That extra torque, accelerating out of a turn, the cooler energy capturing braking entering a turn and the extra miles on limited fuel might make a believer out of race fans. Only when race fans i...

A Volvo diesel-electric, imagine that. Specifications are lacking, but the diesel will be merely the APU to the batteries with direct electric drive and plug-in too. Is it 4WD? I'm ready to step up. And, this one does not look like a Nash.
