Britain getting Screwed
#29
Gordi was correct, by the way... in a document that's supposed to benefit the entire realm
of the United Kingdom, only one city and it's Mayor is mentioned specifically.
London.

The information above is about tackling a debatable problem that -with the dangling lure of funding,
Councils around the UK will have to sort out. The idea is to 'encourage' not ban fossil-fuel-driven cars
because if you ban something and somebody breaks that ban, they've broken the law... they have
committed a crime through a possible economically-driven decision that may have been caused by the
very Government issuing the ban!
I would wager that the mainstream media would have something to say about that wouldn't they?!

The media left-out the 'van' detail because they knew that businesses would be up in arms if they were
forced through a 'ban' to swap out their current vehicles for the save-the-dolphins ones.
Especially at this tender time of Brexit.
(Were the media asked to omit that part...?!)

When Trump says 'Fake News'... sometimes the news is just 'not-news' dressed news!

That's what I was getting at, the way the many news outlets broadcast this plan in a manner
that would cause anyone with any type of concern to investigate further. The same outlets
would've been hoping that investigation would mainly involve purchasing their own particular
newspaper the next day and maybe the next.

And how does the electric car work...? Well, the media tells you how to plug one in and how it's
quiet, saves the dolphin and would be something the Jetsons would condone.
But they don't tell how the energy is utilised, they might explain how a hybrid works, but they
don't say how an electric car works.
Why...? Because they were more bothered in the simplistic suggestion of plugging a car into
a electrical mains socket rather than offer any merits a futuristic idea may have.

The ratings were the factor in this instance, not the precise, unbiased reporting of information.

Hacks off the stage, please!!

Current technology:
'The 3 main components of electric car are :- Electric motor, Controller and Battery.

When you switch on the car, the current is passed from the battery.
The controller takes power from the battery and passes it on to the electric motor.
Before passing the current to motor, the controller converts the 300V DC into a maximum of 240 volts AC,
2 phase power which is suitable for motor.

The electric motor then converts electrical energy to mechanical energy.
The mechanical energy moves the vehicle forward.
Controller stands as the buyer of power from battery and gives out put power to motor accordingly.
Variable potentiometers are connected between accelerator and the controller.

These potentiometers tell the controller how much power it is supposed to deliver.
When the accelerator is released it delivers 0V and when they are fully pressed, it gives maximum output.

In terms of battery, there are various batteries to choose from :-

Lithium ion batteries : Lithium ion batteries gives extra performance, range and carry highest price tag.
They are lighter than Lead acid and Nickel metal.
These are the batteries that are used to store data in digital camera or smart phone.
Lead acid battery : These batteries are the most popular, cheapest and 97% recyclable.
Nickel metal hydride batteries : They are cost much more than lead acid but provide higher
output and better performance.

As the electric car moves, the forward momentum generated by electric motor can be used to charge
the batteries when you apply the brakes.
This is a phenomenon commonly referred to as regenerative braking and can recover up to about 15% of
used energy for acceleration.
This is done by applying generated momentum in braking process to the car batteries.
As much as this is effective, it does not however generate enough to fully recharge the car fully to run it.
Therefore, the important thing that it does is extending the distance you can drive with the charge battery...'
