I have read on a consumer affairs site that many people have had a problem with ( I beleive Traction Control) on the Prius. They indicate that in 1-2 inches of snow the wheels stop turning and the car will not move. Does anyone know if the problem has been addressed by Toyota.

Any comments on the fuel tank. My understanding is that it has a blader. If you run out of gas air enters and the amount of fuel that it can hold is reduced by a significant amount.

Thanks for your comments.

Summary

With the increasingly harsh climate and environment, words, such as environmental protection, low-carbon, energy-saving, emission-reduction and green, are gradually penetrated into the daily life. Automobile, as the main source of city exhausts, has gained particular concern in the issue of emission reduction. Therefore, new energy vehicles become extremely popular. For instance, electric bicycles, electric tricycles and motorcycle, which can be seen everywhere in China, have gradually been accepted and popular. Thus, electric vehicles will soon become the energy-saving environmental automotive products. Besides the battery-powered, the fuel gas, hydrogen and other clean energy, all have the application case. However, there is still a long way before the massive popularity. With the increasing attentions and supports from the Government, big investments from investors and strong will of the emission reduction from the public, new energy vehicles have made rapid development. Up to March, 2010, the electric or gas passenger car, have been widely applied in the public transports. Automotive manufacturer, BYD has developed a variety of electric cars by means of its own technology in the battery field, and will soon begin to sell new energy vehicles to individual consumers. There are many indications shows that the new energy vehicles have gradually been the spotlight. The large-scale production will greatly reduce the production cost, thus making the new energy vehicles become the highly popular product and occupy a larger portion in the automotive market.

New stimulus-funded ORNL project

Check out this Video


What’s begun today, could help Oak Ridge build the battery powered car that drives us out of our energy crisis. Short-term, it could re-charge job prospects throughout the Tennessee Valley: For everything from carpenters, to chemists, to those who clean up our most dangerous messes. ORNL Director Thom Mason puts it best, “Time is money, so because we’re building it faster–we’re actually able to build a larger building than we could have afforded.” Shovel ready, for the National Lab, means stimulus money will buy almost two thirds of its $95 million Chemical and Materials Sciences facility. The project gets underway three years earlier than it was slated to begin.

Assuming the solar panels are not connected to the power grid, and assuming an average number of miles traveled per year (say 12,000), and without discussing battery, motor, range or other issues – but assuming it’s 100% electric (not a hybrid), and assuming plenty of sun location, how many watts of installed solar capacity is needed to power the car (visualize a pratical car like the EV1 – not like the “cars” they have in the World Solar Challenge race) w/o any other power source? Err on the side of a few too many watts rather than not enough.
