I still pine for that glorious old naturally aspirated V - 12, and I hope they find a bit more top - end energy for the BC, I'd still have a six - speed manual over the paddle shift any day of the week, and I think the car needs a bit more front - end grip and some interior tweaks (primarily some clear shift lights to help connect with the bruising engine, which sounds similar from 3,000 right up to over 6,000 rpm).

The furiously complicated drivetrain produces a healthy 143mpg on the EU combined cycle, though like all plug - in cars, that figure is skewed by the test not accounting for the energy needed to charge the lithium - ion batteries for engine - free running.

Additionally, it has been hard to make use of solar energy on a vehicle because cars are curved, as opposed to a flat surface needed for proper sun exposure.

It may seem that such a small amount of solar exposure could not provide enough power for the car; however, the fact is they generate a significant amount of the energy needed to meet the needs of the average American driver.

The green proposition of electric cars, especially the plug - in variety, is that by promoting the development of electricity generation and energy storage technology development (in the form of energy storage devices such as batteries), electric cars are not only reducing the need for gasoline, but also creates pull factors for the development of grid - connected renewable energy sources such as solar and wind energy by creating new electricity demand and provide energy storage solutions to address the problems of the intermittent nature of solar and wind power.

But as we pointed out, there are better batteries with specific energy at least 330 Wh / kg, and we can surely increase the weight of the battery to at least 400 kg for a pure electric car, since the heavy internal combustion engine, the heavy transmission, gear box, radiator, etc, would not be needed.

in due course will be a need for hybrid cars of future vehicles that are energy efficient.silicone wrist watches
