Chevrolet Volt Driving Log

On November 11th I became one of the first consumers in the United States to take a Chevrolet Volt home. I am driving and living with it for 90 days as a member of the Volt advisory board.

I started a table below showing how I am using the car, both with respect to electricity and gasoline.

The car was charged to full overnight each day and during the day wherever possible.

My typical commute is 30 miles each way, mostly on the highway between 60 and 70 MPH and I have from 4 to 8 hours to charge the car at 120-v during the day. At night the car is charged at 240-v. There is 10.6 kwh of usable energy in the battery.

Carbon Capture Report

Kui juhtumisi pole juba läbi töötatud (Cinoomi poolt), siis üks teemakohane sait, kuhu jookseb hullult statistikat kokku, kus saab segaseks minemiseni  analüütikat teha...

Technology

The Carbon Capture Report builds on more than a decade of work at the University of Illinois and National Center for Supercomputing Applications (the birthplace of the modern web) leveraging some of the most powerful supercomputers in the world to synthesize the global news media and extract new meaning from it on behalf of industry and government. About the Technology.

The Illinois Advantage

It was at the University of Illinois that the modern web was born (Mosaic) and that many of today's social media concepts were invented (PLATO), while its National Center for Supercomputing Applications founded the United States academic supercomputing program. Illinois is therefore uniquely suited to advancing the state of the art in understanding public perception of energy in the global sphere, as the institution that brought much of the underpinnings that support this interaction to the world in the first place.
