Ockham's Razor





Date/Time 11 Jul 2014 4:41:49am
I have a 1989 Citroen 2CV with an engine almost the same size as the BM's (optional at extra cost) "range extender". Its power is sufficient to take me from Adelaide to Melbourne at 90km/hr. I fail to understand why the i3 can't do the same - I'm missing something?
And re battery recharging - isn't their life reduced if high charge rates are employed? This is what lies behind my comment on the super capacitors, which would allow the energy from the braking to be fed back to the batteries at a controlled/lower rate.
