If one looks at the PHEV video it is apparent that the driver is trying to put the car in a cross-axle position so that it becomes "stuck" - or just until the free wheels spins... The video with the std model is much the same - first the wheels spin and then the car applies the brake to the...

To clarify, the drag force or the force required to move through air increases as squared factor. However the amount of power consumed or required adds another velocity term since the power required to move against wind drag Is consumed faster with increased speed. Essentially: Power(to overcome...

Actually it is a squared relation (various sites): "In fluid dynamics, the drag equation is a formula used to calculate the force of drag experienced by an object due to movement through a fully enclosing fluid. The formula is accurate only under certain conditions: the objects must have a...

"The 12kw battery would cost 12*0.16 = $1.92 however because of efficiency, as it takes 5 hours at 15amps (5*(15*230))) =17kw was used which = 17*0.16 = $2.76 to fully charge from empty." Actually, this PHEV limits discharges to ~70-75% of the capacity of the 12KW battery pack so that a full...
