Comments on: Ford Executive Perspective: Developing and Producing Electric Vehicles is just one part of the Equation http://gas2.org/2009/09/09/ford-executive-perspective-developing-and-producing-electric-vehicles-is-just-one-part-of-the-equation/ What is the future of fuel? What's new? What's next? Since 2007, Gas 2 has covered a rapidly changing world coming to terms with its oil addiction.

That means utilities are shedding cost for additional storage facilities and ratepayers are selling electricity for peak hours so that EVs can make more economic sense, as we know.

I'm not aware of North American utilities that charge end users on a TOU basis for general consumers, we're pretty much fixed rate... Hang on, we are going to be soon enough...

You'd have to provide a through-body genset exhaust connection, an internal plug and an override for the no-charge while moving feature but this would allow EVs to be sold to single car owners who fear range limitations. If your series PHEVs had the ability to program the battery charging to only work that minimal amount needed for the specific desired range that you enter when you start, you could use a smaller genset and minimize weight, cost and fuel use. The smaller genset would start charging early instead of waiting for battery exhaustion but could provide the same range and maximize battery usage for any desired range you program at the start of the trip. You could enter a specific # of miles or let the computer calculate range using GPS waypoints.
