expected usable life on good car batteries is ~10 years, they're supposed to retain at least 80% capacity that long.

BangersInMyKnickers posted:The point its that the actuaries that calculate warranty periods are intentionally trying to push that number as big as possible before the failure rate spikes and start costing them a fortune, so look at the warranty duration and add maybe a year or two on that for for "standard use" (10k miles/yr I think?) quote:If your battery capacity drops four bars within the first 60,000 miles or five years (whichever comes first), you are entitled to a replacement under the new-car warranty that Nissan provides with every Leaf

nissan has had to replace almost all the early model leaf packs once, but that was done under warranty and they seem to be doing much better now since they haven't shortened warranty after that  the issue is once your warranty is out you're hosed, which is usually 8 years. a new pack costs $6-10k depending on car/model. most won't just die after 8 years, obviously, but it's still a big thing to worry about once warranty's out.

also, renault currently has a program where you rent the battery, pay a fixed amount per month that's low enough to still be much cheaper to operate/fuel than an internal combustion car, but they guarantee you at least 80% capacity or you get a new pack IIRC, but how successful this will be remains to be seen.

Combat Theory posted:We did some tests wirh a last gen nissan leaf and found that in short range winter use, between 30 and 50 percent of the battery charge is used for things other than driving. Mostly the ptc heater which is an even bigger energy drain than the air con, which most people use in tandem to defrost the windows. that, but also the battery when cooled sufficiently will barely output any current, so you'll get both lovely performance and higher than normal wear on the battery because it's technically running at full power, just the power is that much smaller when cold. which means, unless you have a garage that doesn't go below ~10c during the winter, it's going to tank your battery even worse. MononcQc posted:I live in the north, ~240km from the next major city down south, so an electric vehicle pretty much means "remain in your remote area forever" and they just cannot be workable. I'm curious to see what the impact would be if plans like "only electric vehicles sold after <year>" were to be tried here. yeah, EVs only work in towns/cities.

yes. e: to expand a bit, the best cars are worse emission wise than semi-decent modern coal plants, for the same energy output. cars also aren't the worst polluter in many cities anymore (it's wood burners now), but every little bit helps.

BangersInMyKnickers posted:then, uhh, why are gas hybrids hitting 40-50mpg highway on the regular while similar sized gasoline models struggling to hit 40? yeah, good hybrids get the same advantages as diesel-electric locos. having your engine being at a constant rpm where it is most efficient independent of speed is a huge plus.

hobbesmaster posted:thats a liquid fueled first stage, how in the world are you going to "cheaply" supply a single engine the size of the first stage of a saturn v?! Silver Alicorn posted:fuel is one of the less significant costs of launching a rocket yeah. i remeber reading somewhere it'd possibly be cheaper to use than a saturn 5 with modern alloys and manufacturing techniques since there's no turbopumps or other complex machinery, just a giant pressurized helium tank at the top that pushes fuels into the bell end for ignition, and after the first few seconds acceleration takes over that job when they say "big dumb booster" they really mean it. the problem with it is there's still no cargo big enough to use it. well that and fuel keeps getting more expensive so by the time someone does have a use it'll be obsolete probably.hobbesmaster posted:i meant supply as in uniformly flow fuel through the exhaust nozzle at a consistent rate without hotspots or whatever that blow the thing up

airforce is buying funnelling at least 100m into the raptor engine that'll be used on the BFR, so not 100% spacex endeavour, but also spacex is charging NASA and other govt people 100m per launch while the commercial launches are 30-40% cheaper. saying NASA isn't going to pay for BFR is a bit naive, i think

yeah batteries won't have trouble starting unless it's extremely cold, but you'll be running your battery at 100% capacity just to drive normally (and that capacity is *poo poo*, don't expect any swift acceleration on a cold morning) the entire time and it'll be completely hosed 5 years into the car's life, possibly less. ... unless you're rich enough to have a garage everywhere you ever park for more than 30min that never goes under 5-10 degrees C, then it'll mostly be just fine.

i really want to upgrade to an electric bike, but they're so silly expensive compared. i had to buy a bike a couple months back because my ancient old bike's frame basically fell apart, and it was 50 euros, basket for 15e included. for a decent enough old e-bike i'd be shelling out 500+.H.P.
