Environmentally Friendly Electric Car, Public Lies

Tesla Roadster test trip Melbourne-Brisbane, Australia

NEW ZEALAND - Claim electric-powered vehicles (electric vehicle / EV) is an environmentally friendly public lie. This was revealed by Clive Matthew-Wilson, editor of industry observers at the same time Zealand's Dog & Lemon Guide car advice.com quoted as saying, today (21 / 3).

According to Clive observation, when all cars are powered by electricity will certainly add to the burden of household electricity consumption. Means, the supply of energy from power plants also swell. With the increasing demand of power supply, it is not possible to increase power center (PLT)-whether it be nuclear, atomic, or others-which included one of the biggest polluters.

The definition of public deceit dati Clive, environmentally friendly cars that had remained a supplier of gas carbon dioxide (CO2). Only, the indirect nature of the vehicle, but was transferred to the central power plant.

He took a concrete example of testing an electric car Tesla Roadster from Melbourne to Brisbane, Australia. The trial is at once ambitious record of the world's longest journey using electric cars. According to him, this trip requires electrical energy is wasteful and transferring gas carbon dioxide (CO2) more than the road to the PLT.

According to Tesla, the condition of the battery is full, the car can go as far as 360-394 km. Meaning, each traveling 3,000 km, cars need to recharge the eight or nine times using voltage 24 volt socket.

"Claims like the Tesla electric car that only emission-free public lies. Use of electric cars the same way to transfer pollution from power plants, which are far more severe because it uses coal generating more CO2," explained Clive.

Clive continued, a new electric car can claim to be free of pollution if they do re-charging (charging) using renewable energy (non-fossil) and environmentally friendly. Therefore, he continued, increasing popularity of electric cars is the same worsen pollution in the earth for a long time, if there is no effort to encourage the use of new energy.

"Many alternative energy industries to overcome problems created only briefly. In fact, all this technology there's nothing economical, does not work properly. It is very disturbing to see air of politicians and business leaders on television promoting the use of economic fantasy fantasy technology," said Clive.

Electric Car Cooler Need More Sophisticated

Position the battery used by Chevrolet Volt and cooling systems 

Electric cars need a more sophisticated cooling system than gasoline or diesel engines. Indeed, there is no combustion, but the heat generated electric cars, especially from the battery, it can shorten the life of this major component. Moreover, lithium-ion batteries used by electric cars, consisting of hundreds of cells. 

Example closest to our daily lives related properties of lithium-ion batteries are, mobile phone or tablet computer. When used in a long time, the back of the hot gadgets. The same thing happened to electric cars that rely on batteries as a source of energy. Thus, the efficiency of electric cars has not been top really because there is still heat that must be removed. 

Age Use 

Because these need special attention, which rely heavily Chevrolet Volt as a car car future, is now aggressively provide technology education to the community about this car. In this case the main concern is the battery. 

Chevrolet experts also explained the problems faced by the components of the electric car is very vital. Especially the battery temperature caused by the environment and when used. 

Described, the battery used in the Volt should work at temperatures that have been determined in order to provide energy to the electric motor in an optimal fashion. Precisely, the battery should not be too cold or too hot otherwise. On the other hand, the climate in America can cause the battery temperature is very low, especially during the winter. In such conditions, the battery can not produce maximum power. To that must also be heated. 

Well, because the battery life time warranty provided only 8 years or 160,000 miles - to reach that age - one of which must be considered is its temperature. "Every battery has a working temperature that fits in order to produce energy optimally. So also with the capacity to store energy and shelf life. Shall be in accordance with the target we've set. If over cold, hard battery releases energy. If too hot, so a short shelf life, "said Bill Wallance, Director of General Motors for the Global Battery System. 

288 Tues 

Batteries used in the Chevrolet Volt, consisting of 288 cells and is packed with a letter "T". Packaging, in addition to consisting of cells, are also grouped into 9 modules. Furthermore, the battery pack was placed in a plastic frame. Well, in the crevice between the cells there are also cooler in the form of aluminum fins. 

The design and construction of an aluminum plate is very vital. This is the first component of the release of the battery cell or distribute to other parts. 

All large-sized battery unit is also equipped with its own cooling circuit. Functions the same as the same as gasoline or diesel engine cooling system but it works differently. 

Chevrolet uses artificial cooling fins Dana Corp. aluminium consisting of two plates which are connected with the process of nickel-bronze. Plot carefully designed and installed in the plate-shaped grooves for coolant can flow smoothly. Cooling is also forced or pumped to hit throughout surface battery cell. 

According Wallance, to regulate the temperature of coolant used three different systems. "First, when the car is plugged into a power outlet to charge the battery in cold weather. To this the work is in front of the electric heater battery packs work. Heated coolant next for make batteries become warmer. In normal work, coolant flow to the radiator in front of the car, while cooling from the AC circuit is used to remove heat from the battery when the temperature continues to rise " 

Another completeness of the cooling system is 16 thermal sensor (thermal). This sensor only allows the temperature may rise just 2 degrees from the specified.
