1. Electric Autocrossing (was: Cheap Gas?) (score: 1): Author: "John J. Stimson-III" <john@idsfa.net>; Date: Tue, 19 Jun 2001 13:54:33 -0700; Maybe. The bulk of the weight is in the batteries. The batteries are heavy because of the amount of energy they store. That relates to the range of the vehicle, not the power. Power delivery is more; /html/ba-autox/2001-06/msg00380.html (13,274 bytes)
2. RE: Electric Autocrossing (was: Cheap Gas?) (score: 1): Author: "Michael R. Clements" <mrclem@telocity.com>; Date: Tue, 19 Jun 2001 14:12:42 -0700; My understanding is that more voltage requires the cells to be in series, which reduces charge capacity (compared to being in parallel, where they produce lower voltage but have higher capacity).

You can also go to cells that are half the size (weight) but have the same voltage...you could run your car o; /html/ba-autox/2001-06/msg00387.html (15,272 bytes)

However, the weight of the batteries is probably going to keep the technology; /html/ba-autox/2001-06/msg00391.html (14,155 bytes)

(score: 1): Author: James Creasy <black94pgt@pacbell.net>; Date: Tue, 19 Jun 2001 15:44:27 -0700; cool, then you could have a big dial on your dash, reading "wimpy" at one end, "Normal" in the middle and "COBRA POWER" on the phat end. -james "stuck on one setting" creasy -- Original Message -- F; /html/ba-autox/2001-06/msg00394.html (15,392 bytes)
