The people pulling your strings and doing your thinking for you have you saying stupid things. For his use of the term 'gearbox' (meaning transmission), yes. Many motors have gears in them, to slow down shaft speed and trade it for torque, or to change direction (such as bevel gears). These are fixed. You do not shift gears for electric motors, as there is no need. He's broadcasting that he's an idiot again.

If you have four completely different batteries, only one will potentially be used to its maximum potential and the other three will achieve less than their maximum potential. Correct. The work functions of the different batteries will produce a higher voltage cell than the others. It will wind up doing all the work while the other cells loaf around doing nothing but being resistors. This is why battery cells must not only be the same type, but also be closely matched when combined into high current discharge systems like this.

The world won't, since much of the world is illiterate. However, you are correct. The more conversions you have, the less available energy at the end. The rest goes up in useless heat. He has already shown he knows nothing about power lines and their limitations. He is proposing wind generates at the North pole to power recharging cars in, say, the SOTC. Again, he is showing he knows nothing about Ohm's law or energy loss on transmission lines and in transformers and balancing equipment. IBdaMann wrote: The world will realize what a total waste of usable energy electric cars actually are ... and the world will realize that the incalculable amount of usable energy lost was all in the name of saving energy.

HarveyH55★★★★★ (5197)	https://hackaday.com/2022/01/19/longer-range-evs-are-on-the-horizon/ he project essentially ignores efficiency improvements entirely. ONE made no mods to the Tesla in this regard, and the system is technically less efficient as a whole, making only 3.69 miles/kWh versus the 4.02 miles/kWh of the stock car in EPA testing. What is astounding is how the team were able to fit a battery pack of double the capacity in the same space as the original pack – marking a huge increase in energy density. The team were reportedly able to do so without much of a weight penalty either. The ONE pack apparently required no active cooling during its drive test (albeit run in cold weather). The production battery that ONE hopes to bring to market, known as "Gemini," will reportely rely on LiFP (lithium iron phosphate) technology, something already used in many EVs today, and production samples should be available around 2023. MYSTERY GAINS As capable as these vehicles are, perhaps the most frustrating part is that the engineering used to achieve these feats remains a little opaque to the public. It's only when these cars start hitting the market en masse, and getting disassembled by inquisitive engineering teams and individuals, that it will become clear exactly how these improvements to efficiency and energy density are being achieved. Whether it's exquisitely-prepared motors that cut down on even the tiniest of losses, new high-efficiency semiconductors, or bigger moves like jumping up to work at higher voltage ranges, it all adds up. But the real big gains are much more of a secret weapon that automakers will aim to keep as a competitive advantage for as long as is possible. At best, we get little hints here and there, pockets of insight when an automaker wants to boast of its achievements. A great example is Tesla, which has invested heavily in some of the most advanced EV motors on the planet. The company has previously openly discusssed with Car and Driver how improving motor efficiency by 8 to 10 percent helped it boost overall range by 15 to 18 percent. Other players are typically less forthcoming, choosing to talk in broader terms as to the source of their gains rather than discussing real engineering details. Tesla somewhat stands alone in this area, often going into great detail on its new technologies as a marketing tool, though it tends to announce big things well before they ever come to market. In any case, whether by improved efficiency, increasing energy density, or simply by stuffing more batteries into a car, it seems that electric vehicle range will only continue to improve at a rapid rate in coming years. EVs with huge range are just around the corner, and the ones we have today are already posting some serious numbers. Range anxiety may soon be a thing of the past for all but the cheapest, shortest-range EVs, or those with batteries nearing the end of their useful life. It may be that running out of charge becomes as rare for the average EV driver as running out of petrol is for those of us with conventional ICE-powered vehicles. Come what may! This article reads more like marketing hype. Didn't bother following the links.

You don't need a transmission with electric motors. A gearbox is good to increase torque. Electric motors have a very large range of speed it will run at. There is no benefit to do that mechanically, with gears. We use pulse-with modulation to control speed, with no loss of torque. DC motors can reverse direction, simply by reversing polarity. A mechanical transmission would only add weight you have to waste battery to haul around. You waste battery on turning the gears. A mechanical transmission adds weight, complexity, and cost, providing zero benefit over controlling the motor electronically. But, yeah, manual transmissions are cool, and preferred over automatic for some terrains. There is regenerative-braking, which can recover some energy/charge battery, when you need to slow down or stop. ICE motors only run in one direction. There is a minimal speed (RPM), at which the will continue to run. Frequent start/stop wastes a lot of fuel, puts a lot of stress on mechanical parts, beneficial to keep it running (idle). The faster you run an ICE motor, the more fuel you burn, which also produces a lot of waste heat to manage. It's more efficient, and ideal, to run the motor at lower RPM. This is why gearboxes/transmissions are required with ICE motors. Electric motors don't have these limitations, or requirements. Vehicles use to be built to last, and with safety of the passengers a high priory. Lot of heavy steel. They could take an impact fairly well, with little damage, or injuries. But, we wanted to have 'fun' driving, always in a rush, and too cheap to do things right. Cars became cheap playthings for the rich, and reckless. Cheap cars are also profitable in volume. Rich people wreck them, and just buy another one. Cheap, means more people can afford to get one. Those not able to keep buying a new one, will spend the time and money on repairs, buy insurance. Which is also profitable. EV will be lightweight, and cheaply made, relying heavily on electronic safety features, rather than physical. You notice the automatic/assisted driving features being pushed so heavily these days... These cheaply made cars are going to get destroyed in accidents, and so will the passengers...

The data recorded is mostly for diagnostics, but they also record your driving habits. Not sure how much 'sharing' goes on with law enforcement, and insurance companies. For a sufficient fee, anything can be accessed... No such 'blackbox tracking' in vehicles. The only information a ECC uses is a learning algorithm to find the idiosyncrasies of your particular engine components (which vary slightly due to manufacturing tolerances). The primary learning algorithm is for the throttle body, to learn how to properly idle the engine. The training routine is pretty much the same for all cars: * Wait until the engine is dead cold, make sure all lights, fans, and other electrical loads are off. Make sure A/C is off (no defrost either!). * Start the car. * Allow the car to idle until fully warmed up. Do not press on the accelerator at any time. The throttle body is now programmed. Symptoms of poor or no programming for the throttle body include the engine stalling at a stop sign. If you get this, first try reprogramming the throttle body. Your driving habits make no difference. The car doesn't care or is even able to determine if you have 'good' driving habits or 'bad' driving habits. Some driver assist systems can monitor lane markings, and warn you if you seem to be drifting out of a lane without signalling. It also warns you when it can't find the lane markers. Some provide a steering assist for this, effectively 'centering' the wheel in the correct direction. It is easily overridden by the driver. This is similar to Subaru's Eyesight system. Such systems also provide a better cruise control than a standard one, known as 'cruise follower'. By measuring the distance to the car ahead using various sensors (Subaru uses two cameras), cruise control can adjust to changing speeds without intervention by the driver. If it can't find a car in front, it resorts to a standard cruise control. In Subaru, an interlock exists so that if lane markers cannot be found either, the entire system is temporarily disabled, safe failing to idle and manual control by the driver. Indicator lights and tones note this condition. It simply means the cameras can't see well enough. It can happen due to fog, an obscured windscreen (which the cameras stare through), snowfall, or other inclement conditions where YOU would have trouble seeing! So, no. Cars do not track your every move, unless you install and operate equipment designed to do this for you, such as your cell phone, a Starlink system (vehicle location and condition monitor, used for obtaining emergency or road service), or a GPS display (used to provide you with maps and guidance). All of them can be turned off. Some automotive rental agencies install a GPS device in the car to see if it goes out of State. In this way they can find stolen cars. That device typically ties into the vehicle's cell phone head and is located near the head box (often under the dash).
