RE,
The Gooberment did the math on the EV vs the CV (conventional
Vehicle powered by an ICE) with a study that covered all the
bases from manufacturing to market to customer to maintenance.
You KNOW they aren't going do a puff piece on the EV. They did
the costs figuring an ICE manufacturer would be introducing the
EVs. They figured the ICE cost would go UP as the EVs got into
full production. At any rate, they did the math on the energy
and maintenance after the cars are sold. The study is hard
boiled nuts and bolts. The EV WINS! It uses LESS energy all
around! :emthup: :icon_sunny:

[size=18pt] California Could Soon Mandate All New Housing to Be
‘Electric Vehicle Capable’ [/size]
Written by Michael Graham Richard
Some things are a lot easier and less expensive if you have
foresight. When you’re building a new house, it might cost a few
extra bucks (estimates vary from $50 to $200) to future proof it
with wiring that can handle the 240v/40 amps required to
recharge an electric car relatively rapidly (nowhere near as
fast as a Supercharger station, but fast enough considering that
most plug-ins spend many hours parked overnight and during work
days). But if the house is already built and you need to upgrade
the wiring, that can cost a bundle more… It might even be enough
to discourage some from even upgrading and replacing their
gas-guzzler with an electron-powered ride.
That’s where foresight comes into play. Palo Alto has already
changed its building code to make sure that new houses will be
pre-wired for plug-ins, which was a great idea. So great that
the whole state of California is apparently moving in that
direction. David Herron reports that draft building code
documents contain provisions for new housing and parking lots to
have wiring and electrical systems that can handle EV charging.
Part of the big deal of this is that it would apply to
multi-family housing and parking lots, making it easier for
condo and apartment dwellers to ditch oil even if they don’t
have a private garage where they could recharge. ;D
This new building code could start to take effect in 2015-2016.
Hopefully buildings are already ahead of the curve and
future-proofing their new buildings already, but nothing can
make as big a difference as having this in the official building
code that everybody has to follow. I hope that other states (and
countries) do the same.
New house buyers should also ask if the wiring can handle 40
amps 240v charging at a minimum. Even if you don’t buy an EV for
5 years, you’ll be glad you checked when you do… ;D

Top 10 cheapest new energy cars promoted in China

Updated: 2014-09-17 10:32 (chinadaily.com.cn)
China started waiving nationwide the 10 percent vehicle purchase
tax for a total of 17 new energy passenger car models, including
fully-electric and plug-in hybrid cars.
Only six models on the list are available in the market, while
11 are still in the planning stage.
The country has been giving subsidies ranging from 33,250 yuan
to 57,000 yuan ($5,410 to 9,280) to buyers of selected new
energy cars since September 2013.

Move over, battery powered busses, here come the Ultra Capacitor
(unlimited charge cycles!) powered buses! ;D
Note: this video is from 2009 so you can be sure the technology
has improved considerably. If you haven't heard more about this
solution to public transportation WITHOUT the need of polluting
fossil fuels, thank the bought and paid for media for it. >:(
Here's a 2010 video with better resolution:

China, First to Commercialize Electric Airplane

SustainableBusiness.com News
Yesterday, we reported that Toyota will start sales of the first
mass produced fuel cell car next month, and today we learned
that China is about to begin mass production of an electric
airplane.
HTML http://www.pic4ever.com/images/19.gif
If RX1E succeeds commercially, China will be the technology
leader in the field. The first manned electric flight was back
in 1973, but until now these aircraft haven't made it past the
demonstration phase.
The two-seater, light-duty aircraft runs on electric motors and
can be powered by fuel-cells, solar, ultracapacitors, power
beaming or batteries. It can fly for 90 minutes on fully charged
batteries, and charging the 10 kilowatt-hour batteries takes
only 40 minutes at a cost of $0.80.

The Rui Xiang (RX1E) by Aviation Electric China
Airplanes of this size are commonly used by police, for flight
training, mapping surveys, and just for fun by flying
aficionados.
Liaoning General Aviation Academy, which designed and aircraft,
hopes to sell 100 within three years, and plans to build a
dedicated manufacturing plant that can make 100 a year in
Shenyang. It will sell for $163,000, lithium batteries included.
Electric airplanes have lots of advantages - easy maintenance,
low operating costs, high safety levels and obvious
environmental attributes.
In September, the first emissions reduction program in the US
aviation industry took off, starting with airports.
