[QUOTE="Ded Driver, post: 502897, member: 12692"] one problem there RR, you can never recover as much energy as you put in. F1 use regenerative braking, whereby brake energy is converted back into electrical energy ... so only whilst braking. I think at least a couple of the e-cars on the market also have this. I can imagine an e-4WD towing a van/camper around Australia, at 20kph so the array of solar panels on the roof of vehicle & van try to keep up with power needed :lol: I think electric 4WDs have a way to go before becoming feasible for country travels, with or without a van. Hydrogen is a more realistic option for long travels, being compatible (& comparable in power) with current petrol engines) & the CSIRO have this well advanced with Hydrogen from Ammonia membrane technology.
