No, its just an utterly over engined car - 4 liter superharged with an auto box. Design from the 90's actually :-) It is still the basic XJ6 from the '60s. Later Jags are a great step forward with lightweight construction involving ally body parts. No. its lost a few things since then.apart from two doors ...the engine is different, the gearbox and diff are different..the whole thing is electrnically controlled.. And supercharging is simply a brute force way to power - it always results in worse consumption than an equivalent normally aspirated engine. Not quite true, a supercharged small engine MAY have less frictional losses than a normally aspirated bigger one of the same power, and also weigh less. |

Under about 55mph the CD makes very little odds. Leccy cars will score because they can be optimised for whatever driving speed you choose, efficiency wise. They use nothing apart from cooling fans when stationary, and instantaneous fuel consumption is as simple to display as a ammeter in the dashboard If they decide not to fit vast tyres etc. And of course you don't need too much heating or cooling which comes nearly free on an IC engine. Heating comes free. Cooling emphatically does not. A fairly well insulated electric car could in principle use the few hundred watts of waste heat to keep it warm. Cooling takes power whatever you do. Trouble is luxury cars like this are bought by people who don't care about fuel consumption - and are unlikely to buy an electric car unless it matches it in all ways. So sumptuous (and heavy) interior, lots of sound proofing including double glazing to keep extraneous noise out. 5 kW heating and equivalent air-con so you don't have to wait for them to take effect. Etc etc. All of which will not help the range of a battery car. Agreed. So expect more attention to be paid to things like insulation, darkened glass, and double glazing. Also, if lighter car BODIES are made, the need for excessivley large tyres for grip falls away. There are gains to be made on *all* cars by reducing weight.. |

One would expect to pay more per kWH for the convenience (and the operator's investment in the infrastructure) with the cheaper, slower option of charging up at home from a more modestly rated home outlet, or trickle/very-slow charging/topping up from a standard (13-15A-ish) mains outlet. Of course if electric vehicles acheive a true mass-market there will be lots of people for whom home charging is simply not an option since they don't have off-road parking so forecourt charging will be the only option. |

Surely anything divided by zero is infinity? But surely zero divided by anything is zero? :-) As TNP says it's incalculable (or meaningless or undef or NULL or whatever you like to represent not-a-number). Perhaps more interesting and/or useful is what happens as the ratio of useful work to total work tends to zero. If I could remember anything of my school calculus I might embarrass myself offering a mathematical analysis :-) However in the spirit of Scroggie I'll attempt an arm-waving one instead. Consider what happens at 1 mph, 0.1mph, 0.01mph etc. Assume there is no wind and the vehicle is on a flat level surface. The losses due to air resistance are miniscule, so we have basically rolling resistance plus losses in the engine itself and its transmission. These probably do not dimish with speed so the efficiency doesn't tend to 100% (although the effeciency of the electric vehicle is obviously going to be hugely better than the IC vehicle). |
