B…b…b…but I live in an apartment and have a $25k budget, and it can’t spontaneously tow a boat cross-country non-stop in the dead of winter, so it’s useless to me, and therefore everyone else.

Now to crack down on the Southwest “pre-board” category as it’s become a complete farce. Huge groups of seemingly able bodied people, or one person in a wheelchair and 10 travel companions, all get to go on before literally anybody, including business select. Doesn’t cost them a cent, and they snag all the best…

Nice idea, reality is somewhat different, which is why it’s not happened. You essentially need to package a 100 mile capable battery into an existing already heavy, expensive and complicated PHEV. You’re already onto a loser with that as the vehicle by definition has to be even bigger and heavier to accommodate what…

Is this an “Interior Combustion Engine”?

Doug DeMuro wants to know how many Volvo XC90’s that is.

All those Dodge Charger down payments for people in need had to come from somewhere! Trickle down economics doing salvage yards, YouTubers and repo men a solid now.

That’s a full house on the EV bullshit bingo card!

Yea, sure it can. Not sure we’ll ever see a charging station do anything like this though.  Plenty more where this came from. Tankers, depots, cars, trucks, etc.

Wait until you hear about what 20 gallons of gasoline does when it catches fire!

It’s an interesting development. Although suspiciously devoid of any technical info. Even the basics, like how many kWh of electricity is required to make a gallon on e-fuel? It’s probably an amount that makes the “well-to-wheel” efficiency compared to a BEV a laughingstock, hence the omission.

A transmission cooler makes all the difference [to the shift patterns]….erm…how?

Not great, not terrible.

Nothing new with this design. A lot of European cars in the 80’s had this setup. Although it wasn’t for noise management like on the ST. Rather it was to retain the “powerful looking” straight out the back exhaust tips, but without it blowing smoke, soot and fumes (car exhaust was pretty dirty back then) all over…

Looks like they need to make that green light a bit more obvious….

As far as realistic and actually available suggestions go, a Porsche Cayenne or Panamera of some description to suit your power/economy/price point is probably your best bet.

A well regulated Vaper, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear vape pens, shall not be infringed.

Well duh….

I feel a more efficient and far simpler solution is to have a cable car system with lightweight “buckets” or gondolas getting filled at the top and emptied at the bottom, and making their way back up. The cable would run a generator connected to the one of the pulleys at the top or bottom.  Job done.

The switch to I6 is mainly being driven by efficiency requirements. As an I6 has less rotating parts than an equivalent V6, less energy is wasted having to overcome internal friction, which means more efficiency and better fuel economy.

For renewable grid storage systems, and maybe some heavy duty commercial transportation, yes. Private transportation/cars H2 is a dead end. Witness the ongoing failure of the Toyota Mirai, Honda Clarity etc. experiment.
