Ice is a Strong Contender to Replace Bartender App

I talked a few weeks ago about the Bartender kerfuffle when developer Ben Surtees sold it to a company called Applause. While I’ve not taken up the alarm bells, many still remain skeptical of this new company. You’ll also remember that Physics Nerd Graeme reviewed Hidden Bar for us as an alternative to Bartender. This […]

Figure graphically shows how roughly 68% of the electric energy stored in an EV is used to power the wheels while the remaining 32% is lost due to charging, drivetrain, cooling, and auxiliary electricity use. However, energy added back to the drivetrain due to regenerative braking increases the EV’s efficiency to roughly 90% with only 10% of effective loss in energy.

Impact of Adverse Conditions on EV vs. ICE Vehicle Efficiency

Allison and I have had a question for a long time about electric vehicles. The mileage you get driving an electric vehicle (EV) is highly affected by things like whether you’re driving into the wind, you’re driving up a hill, or you’re towing something. But mileage for gas-powered (internal combustion engine or ICE) vehicles doesn’t […]

Before we met Tesla, our plan was to name […]
