My next car I was hoping to be a electric vehicle, my current A to B is a 2008 Scion XB. I wanted a vehicle that I could drive back and forth to work, total 80+ miles per day and be dependable along with carry some cargo and such. Also it would be our road trip car. Well this vehicle has that and more. 260k and still running strong! Anyhow was hoping to go to something new but I’ve been told to hold off because of the high cost of new and used vehicles so going to try to stretch it a bit more before I go to something new or newer.
It sounds promising for our RV’s. Sounds like the upcoming battery developments will hopefully help our transition possibilities for our GMC’s Jim K mentioned. Jim, got a question for you on these upcoming new batteries. Do you have any specs on their capacity for storage and discharge rates? Just wondering if there was enough info available yet to calculate battery weight and power provided by them? I initially not sure full electric can be done but rather a hybrid version. I am wondering of the series electrical drive system that Tom mentions in his article. He said for very large vehicles that was the preferred setup and it was ran by a smaller generator motor. Is that a possibility for ours? I have the Onan 6k, but sure something bigger would be needed.
