More traffic, more speed, and fewer accidents than in France.

But more deaths than in France on the highways.

it is not "jargon".

Here I am not addressing an audience of college students. If you don't understand the French words, you have the Petits Larousse and Robert, and even Wikipedia

it is even less an ideology: they are FACTS.

We can express the facts other than by pedantry.
And I am wary of facts asserted as such, or "findings", another term often used to assert that what is said should not be contested, when all this is only interpretation.
"Extractivist predation", I still laugh, it reminds me of "class struggle", "proletarian exploitation" and a whole obsolete atmosphere ... one fashion replaces another.

thank you for your superficial dialectic, Ex-Nihilo which plague.

for information to readers of this topic, here is what you think are "interpretations".

by the VT lobby?

this report is very just.
[]
there is a totally ideological, religious, naive and utopian pro VE current which irrigates different strata of society, ranging from the little "militant" all proud of his VE and his spiel forumesque, down to our perfectly incompetent "decision-makers" looking to do "greenwashed com" cheaply.

In reality, the car, whether thermal, electric or hybrid, is a powerful object of extractivist predation., because
1) from its manufacture, it mobilizes around 1 to 2 tonnes of metals and plastics from mining activities, which are themselves very carbon-intensive,
2) and during its useful life, it consumes around 20 kWh / 100 km of electricity and 7L / 100 km of gasoline.
3) end of life still requires energy to recycle the vehicle

the ideological conflict VT / VE is a false battle, a political-media smokescreen, which obscures the real debates and key points
1) it is the sources of energy that must be renewable, and no taboos, FUEL can also be renewable.
2) vehicles must be adapted to their use, thermal vehicles have their optimum zone, that of demanding journeys in terms of distance and power
3) and above all: the use of cars must be limited !!, individually, and also in replacement frequency

on these 3 fundamentals, we are wrong all around the world / OECD
1) most of the energy comes from carbon sources, including in electricity networks
2) the majority of vehicles are thermal, including in the city, and on the contrary, we are looking to make EVs embedding an elephantine battery to play across the country
3) private cars, their too early renewal, long commuting daily, and excess trucks on the roads are a deeply rooted model, which only severe shortages in materials and energy resources can slow down.

And on German highways even more. What a pleasure to drive there, they drive very well, no drag on the left ....

Battery fire: a reminder of unprecedented magnitude for Hyundai

Eric Bergerolle Challenges 25 Feb 2021

The proliferation of battery fire cases forced Hyundai to recall 82.000 of its electric Kona and Ioniq to the workshop. The incredible scale of this campaign attests as much to the seriousness of the defect as to the success of these cars.

Excellent for hybrid cars:

Thermal efficiency, the Nissan ePower reaches 50%
Sun 28/02/2021 - A record for a gasoline engine.
Development of a future gasoline engine for an e-Power application This is still the big challenge for engine manufacturers: improving efficiency. To ensure the best possible conversion from the energy contained in the hydrocarbon, towards the mechanical force which moves the car forward. The best at this game are the diesels, on par with Toyota's hybrid powertrains, with 40/42% efficiencies, but Nissan says it's going to do better. To achieve this end, it freed itself from the greatest difficulty that engineers have to face, the need for a wide range of revs.

Combustion is not at all the same at an idle speed of 750 rpm, as at the maximum speed of 6500 rpm. Many modern engines have seen the maximum power revs lower to approximate maximum operating parameters. It is sometimes barely 5000 rpm, with to compensate for an increased number of reports in the gearbox. But Nissan does not have this problem with its e-Power technology, where the gasoline engine has no other task than to recharge the battery, which powers the electric motor, which alone is responsible for the propulsion of the car. .
Development of a future gasoline engine for an e-Power application Nissan's engine manufacturers first achieved an efficiency of 43% with an exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system, then 46% by adopting an exhaust cycle. lean combustion, which they managed to improve by up to 50%, at a fixed engine speed, with a system for recovering waste heat from the exhaust. This is the new world record, which proves that the combustion engine can still progress. Nissan has not yet announced a date for the production of this new engine, but we hope so soon, as the manufacturer believes in its ePower architecture.

And if this figure seems low compared to the more than 90% that certain electric motors can reach at certain speeds, progress is still expected in the charge / discharge phases, and in AC / DC conversions (at the terminal), then DC / AC (in the car), where there is still good room for improvement ...

hence the interest of a predominantly electric car, and also powered by a stationary engine at best performance.

engineers know this very well.

In February, the Tesla Model 3 overtook the Renault ZOE

Michael Torregrossa 5 Mar 2021 10:07

Preceded by the Peugeot e-208 and the Tesla Model 3, the Renault ZOE fell to third place in electric car registrations in February in France. Summary using data from the monthly Avere France barometer.

Queen of electric car sales since its launch in 2013, the ZOE has had a difficult start to the year. After falling to second place in January, ahead of the Peugeot e-208, the city car with the diamond falls to third place on the podium in February.

With 1 units sold, the Renault ZOE is unable to reach the levels observed at the end of last year. Result: with 074 registrations, the Peugeot e-1 again ranks first in registrations while the Tesla Model 484, which has accelerated its deliveries since its significant price drop, occupies second place with a total of 208 registrations.
