I must drive on a state highway to bike to where the company bus picks me up, despite being about 2 miles away. It's extremely hilly around here, so ebike is virtually mandatory. The "bike lanes" are a foot away from 30+ mph

I'm not even sure how to reply to how wrong you are. You could only argue that with flyback topology (I'd still say you are wrong) but try a standard full-bridge and tell me the current isn't alternating. Then check out some

Yes, because the lower gear ratio of the automatic allows the gasoline engine to operate in a more efficient portion of the bsfc curve, which makes up for the substantially higher transmission losses.

They do, they just unlock the torque converter or downshift as you accelerate. They shift to top gear before the equivalent manual does, and you'll find automatics have significantly lower gear ratios than the manual transmission of th

So all efficient (switching) voltage conversion involves AC. Your stock plug-in DC power supply is actually a AC->DC->AC->DC device yet it's trivial to get above 97% and miniscule quiescent (minimum) load. High-frequency AC is

We're talking about curbside pickup. There's men who lift the buckets and put them in trucks. Then humans help sort them at facilities. The worst thing about recycling now is mostly leftover organics and sharp lids.

Ford just cut Lightning production (in half? A third? Something like that). Nissan stopped making the Leaf. Tesla is still increasing. You can't get ahead by decreasing production.
