### 8x hover and click; Liion or Electric Vehicle multiple ### Why are EV´s so expensive? Play around with Li-ion batteries. ### learn how much energy is in any given battery ### Love it and check more projects from @eventexception # If you enter Volt and mAh for other battery types, the weight assumption is no longer valid, but the energy conversion remains the same! Example: Car battery: 12 Volt, 60000 mAh (= 60 Ah) (buggy Scratch player hides my info sprites below variables :/
I wondered why EV´s are so expensive and wanted to share my calculations, post your thoughts! I don´t believe in advanced batteries in the near future, much hype, no working samples. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gasoline_gallon_equivalent # Thermal energy is NOT electric energy, reduced by x 0.3 as combustion engines show thermal losses converting energy. # Fun fact: 1 mmBtu natural gas = 3 US$ for 8(!) gallons p.gas ### awesome V * A: http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/1641720 # Volt= electron pressure http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/2866495 # Lithium-ion battery: http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/1790312 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/18650#Round_lithium-ion_rechargeable ### CNG http://www.eia.gov/naturalgas # Globally abundant energy: # http://www.eia.gov/todayinenergy/detail.cfm?id=11611 ### EPA rule = 21.5 kWh / 100 miles # maybe old value, will later update to 33 kWh / 100 miles # http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miles_per_gallon # animated banner from Luc15 by @cpumaster930
