Zero Emission Race - around the world

[sk8norcal]

can't seem to find a thread on this....

Eligibility CRITERIA

Competing vehicles in the Zero Race are required to:

* be propelled by an electric motor
* drive at least 250 km distance at an average speed equal or above 80 km/h
* be able to reach a maximum distance of 500 km per day, with a recharge stop of 4 hours during Lunch time
* carry at least two passengers

COMPETITION CRITERIA

As the Zero Race is about sustainable transport and mobility, the event goes beyond the concept of who is first past the start and finish lines. This is why participating vehicles in the Zero Race will be judged according a variety of performance criteria by scientific experts in transport, by selected judges along the way and the general public.

Specific Zero Race competition criteria include:

* Reliability - based on vehicle performance assessed by the number of breakdowns or repairs needed during the Zero Race
* Power and Speed - based on acceleration and range capacity to complete the Zero Race track (evaluation by a panel of race car drivers)
* Energy efficiency - based on assessments by vehicle manufacturers and various other experts
* Popularity of the vehicle, based on the judgment of the general public
* Safety - based on evaluations by transport engineers
* Design - based on opinion polls by spectators and the general public along the way

Since when did RECHARGEABLE equate to zero emissions ?

HYDRO!!!!

 

[Hillhater]

Unfortunately, hydro +wind+solar + geo thermal + etc ....will not supply enough "sparks" for everyone !
Are they only going to recharge using hydro power sources ?

Hey, I using a negative amount of energy. I planned on using 10 KW today, but I only used 4 so, 4 - 6 = -2.

Just figure things out the way government figures things out. They budget for a certain amount of spending for the next year and if they go under that, they figured they reduced their spending, even though they spent more then the previous year.

Words mean nothing nowadays, it's how you feel, which gives meaning to a word.

I'm feel good about being green because I recycle, even though I live in a 20,000 Square foot house.

Deron.
