The trouble with hybrids: Hybrid electric vehicles not as green as they are pain
Posted on Thursday, February 07, 2008 @ 23:07:07 UTC by vlad

General Hybrid electric vehicles that run on both conventional gasoline and stored electricity can be no more than a stop gap until more sustainable technology is developed, according to researchers in France. Writing in the Inderscience publication International Journal of Automotive Technology and Management, they suggest that the adoption of HEVs might even slow development of more sustainable fuel-cell powered electric vehicles.

There have been already electric cars ... look op for the GM EV1, a car as fast as a fueled car. Could run for 300 miles (with upgrade), accelerates at least as fast as the average car.
Pulled out of the market for dubious reasons, costumers couldn't even keep their car (all were leased).
I think the main problem is that automobile industry doesn't want to get rid of the fuel, otherwise they would already have done it a long time.
For more information look at the documentary "who killed the electric car?"

What is astonishing is that people who stated the bleedin obvious "stop gap until more sustainable technology is developed" get paid to think these things. I ask you......

As an aside: I had always beleived that there was a minority of the working population that were complete idiots who occasional pop up to the surface and cause chaos.  However it is becoming ever more obvious that a significant proportion of the working population are morons! That includes managers as well.  It gets very bad when a moronic manager starts to promote others......Oh dear.  However, my girlfriend has also come to this conclusion and stated something which is a puzzle, far more puzzling than dark energy:

Given how moronic these people are how on earth do they survive from life to normal age death?  There has to be some mysterious force at work ....can we tap it?

"They add that the misinformed craze for hybrid vehicles especially in the USA, and increasingly in Japan and Europe, and potentially in China, could represent a red light for more innovative technologies, such as viable fuel-cell cars that can use sustainably sourced fuels, such as hydrogen."

The trouble with
Jean-Jacques Chanaron:   he has no brains.
A superb scientific report exists that compares energy-carrier hydrogen with energy carrier 'electricity'. Electricity technology is far superior to  /more-economical than hydrogen technology, with respect to conversion-, transport- and storage-costs.  Hydrogen is an anti-green idea in the first place, because it replaces a better and  more economical energy form: electricity. hydrogen fuel cells are an incredibly stupid idea.

Since all cars just waste energy, no car can be labeled "green" , like plants or solar cells.  But everyone knows that hybrid cars can be more energy efficient, possibly enabling the society transition to environmental friendly energy sources, such as solar, wind, and hydro energy.

The best and most economical car developments are:  better batteries/capacitors, better electric motors, better aerodynamics, introduction of electric recharge-stations, etc ...


quote:
"The complexity and high cost of the hybrid technology is also playing against itself," they say, "There is a huge strategic dilemma for the key players of the automotive industry where a mistake in technology decision-making might turn even a big player into a take-over candidate. The next five years will provide industry observers with more accurate trends and success or failure factors."


Car producers can use technologies that reduce the complexity of hybrid cars greatly, compared with the conventional ICE car.
For instance, the PML-Flighlink mini (and volvo recharge)  have the simplest of all possible hybrid cars solutions:  motor-wheels and an optional permanent-magnet type of electricity generator that is ultra-compact (for a range extender). The car manufacturers are only waiting for the electric battery manufacturers to scale-up the production next generation li-ion batteries. They don't have to decide on anything, it is only a matter of a few years.

Jean-Jacques Chanaron clearly has the Prius in mind, but this shows he is not aware what is happening and what is in development right now. Secondly he believes hydrogen fuel cells are a better option than electric batteries and ultra-compact range-extending generators,  and this is all wrong. It is no wonder Chanaron is so confused about the future of hybrid cars.
