VW Martin Winterkorn and the electric car

Guessing game about an interview with Dr. Martin Winterkorn. Is it his intention to dicredit the electric car by mentioning nuclear energy, or does he really not knwo the facts?






  Electric cars instead of coal power plants


Just last week, we published, that by making electric power from gasoline and Diesel in CCPP, the German fuel consumption from 2004 would produce 358 TWh. 230 TWh more than a complete change to electric mobility would require.

The largest possible CO2 reduction would be to stop 230 TWh yearly electric power production from coal power plants. This creates an absurd proportion of numbers.

From 162 Mt CO2 in German street traffic can be 230 Mt saved.

  Nuclear energy more easy to save than coal power


2007 had been 162 TWh nuclear electric power produced in Germany. 128 TWh for electric mobility and 162 TWh nuclear energy are 290 TWh. From the gasoline and Diesel consumption of 2004 can be 358 TWh produced.

So 19% less gasoline and Diesel than the consumption of 2004 are necessary for electric mobility and to save all atomic power plants in Germany.

  A photovoltaik in the size of a parking lot


For our mobility is a photovoltaic in the size of a parking lot enough. Environment destruction by uran mining, the risk of an accident and the radiant inheritance for our descendants are here complete unnecessary.



  News about car, traffic and mobility 2008


Comments, background information and calculations daily acutal to messages around car, traffic and mobility.

Photovoltaic cheaper than gasoline
Let's imagine, Chrysler would have the Sebring Sedan as a plug-in hybrid car. Chrysler would instead of ''Let's refuel America'' start an action ''CO2 free mobility''..


From where the electricity for plug-in hybrid and electric cars
In an actual press release is the question, from where comes the electric power for our future plug-in hybrid and electric cars. Here the surprising answer.


Germany: 162 Mt CO2 in street traffic can be reduced by 230 Mt
No, no typing mistake, no editor with 3 per mill at the keyboard, 230 Millionen tons is the theoretical maximum of CO2 reduction by making electric power out of fuel.


BYD for battle price on the home market
BYD announced to bring the f3DM until end of the year for US$14600 to US$19000 on the chinese home market. A revolution is announced.


GM Opel: future destroied
Who comes to late is punished by live. GM had already 1996 with the EV1 an electric car. But this had been taken away from the people leasing it and demolished.


Plug-in Hybrid serial production starts
Monday December 15th: BYD announces the start of the mass production of the plug-in hybrid car BYD F3DM. The sales price in China is $22.000 (15.000 EUR).




Chrysler gasoline price guarantee
Chrysler offers all car purchasers of selected types to pay only $2,99 per gallone. What the gasoline costs more pays Chrysler. Estimation of the costs with an example.


Franz Alt and the hydrogen refueling station
In his newsletter from September 2008, Franz Alt asks: ''Who builts the hydrogen refueling stations''. But the more important question remains unanswered: For what?
