A lot of what’s going on, as well, is that a lot of PHEVs were designed to get 50 km on NEDC.

So the thing with relying entirely on fuel prices is if something happens to cause them to come down, the demand for more efficient vehicles goes down, causing manufacturers to avoid making them. Obviously high fuel taxes helps reduce the price fluctuation, but still.

Yes, there’s that (and hybridization, as Bdog pointed out), too, to reduce the emissions (claimed or real) without degrading performance.

Hybridization is absolutely a strategy, too, both due to the direct efficiency improvements if the hybrid system is at all competently implemented, as well as how they count them.

So, basically, there’s three ways (all of which can be combined!) I can see things going for the performance cars:

As I understand it, powerwalls disable themselves when the line power quits so, they can’t be used instead of a generator (this could be old news though, I don’t follow them).

Digital in this context means using fingers.

I mean, if we’re going to take the claim of unions tending towards violence at face value, we should probably throw in a claim of management tending towards violence, too. Because there was a lot of that...

The industrial campus where I work bought a few Segways for their maintenance people a few years ago.

Custom LCDs are incredibly cheap, especially compared to a bunch of stepper motors and plastic needles.

Here you go: https://cnruipaiying.en.alibaba.com/product/1600065169925-812167396/2020_changli_Electric_manned_pickup_truck.html?spm=a2700.icbuShop.41413.14.7a5b46eeZ79teA

Another one to try: instead of using “male” to describe a connector that inserts into another connector (or the one that has the pins), and “female” to describe a connector that receives another connector or the pins of another connector... use “plug” and “socket” (or “plug” and “jack”, or “plug” and “receptacle”).

They just came out with a new Venza, based on the Japanese-market Harrier, between the RAV4 and Highlander.

I didn’t see a single-cylinder... how about, collectively, the engine families used in the Honda Super Cub line and its relatives?

Unfortunately he failed, but he tried. (And obviously that wasn’t the protests.)

Worth noting that the LM performance minimum is 70% (although that includes pit stops, so an EV in practice would need to be faster) - so 5 minute laps are ostensibly compatible with LMH/LMDh cars doing 3:30s.

IIRC the FIA/SRO are imposing minimums on how many GT3 cars must be produced for a manufacturer to be eligible - 25 cars I think?

So, there’s a couple reasons why LMP2 needs to exist.

Note that that’s only MG1 that’s rev limited that way, and only when the engine input is stopped.

So the Prius transmission has two motors.
