Have You Tested the Class As or Cs built with Hybrid Motors?

Jeepers. Stop watching a thread after a couple of pages and it goes to heck in a hand basket.

CLOSED

At some point the current setup, large engine + transmission + house batteries + generator, will be less efficient vs larger generator(s) & larger batteries. At that time we will start seeing more hybrids less conventional setups.

THere a couple of articles floating around out there on Mercedes announcement olast week of electrifying all their commercial vans. Although these are meant for city delivery and the 150km range would be inadequate for a Motorhome I can see a company like road trek requesting 400 -600 km versions for a Motorhome base. I think that the first Electric EV’s May show themselves there as the charging infrastructure is already established in the form of level 2 and 3 charging infrastructure which is starting to grow rapidly.

JMHO.

Aaaaaa Chainwright I gave you a link to what you asked; an EV motorhome. Check it out; it might be right up your alley when and if they build it. What more do you want?

OP, here is a all electric MH for you. Of course, just like the Tesala roadster it's just a concept vehicle and nobody knows when or even if it's going to be built. Then again with only 100 HP and a range of 100 miles you better not be in a hurry when on vacation.



4x4 I didn't twist anything. You used the words of "ANY internal combustion engine" not me. In fact, you were the one who cap'ed the letters not me. So I showed you an ICE. Simple hu?

If we are talking about "motor vehicles" so be it. Here is my "motor vehicle" example. Where is your electric motor vehicle example that will beat 800 ft/lbs or torque. (And this is low, I could pick a Cat C16 with thousands of ft/lbs of torque.) And remember, that's straight off of the engine and not through a gear box and rear end. Torque to the tires on an ICE is thousands of Ft/lbs; unlike an electric vehicle which has no torque multiplication because they have no gears.

You can say Tesla has the fastest accelerating vehicle all you want but it's not true. "When" they start producing them and "if" they are faster than the Demon then and only then can you and Tesla make that claim. See how that works? Here is the fastest production electric car in the 1/4 mile. A totally gutted P100 Tesla. The fastest he turned was a 10.41 at 125 mph.

like I said above. I will show you a picture of my car only if you agree to not snivel. If you agree not to snivel I will post a picture. I will believe you if you say you won't. Just type "I promise not to snivel about your car" and I will post a picture. Simple hu?

Hmm, Turtle, I thought I was the "OP" of this Thread. And it was about Hybrids and EV's in relation to class A's (and B's and C's). It really had nothing to do with strict ICE's, or drag racing or production sedans/coups/hatchbacks/sports cars altered and tweaked after acquisition.
You seem to be good a derailing and deflecting and going off on tangents. Why don't you create a thread about ICE's and EV cars (sedans, coups, sport coups, hatchbacks, fast backs, SUV's), instead of trying to hijack others' threads?

A guy on YouTube got a great deal on a Prius with a dead battery pack. He shows how he rebuilt the battery pack on the cheap. Great video.

FWIW
CarGuru on YT bought salvage title Tesla and took it all appart,fixed and got it running again..not sure what it cost him though..

A little acceleration footage of the Tesla semi. Kinda cool.

If you watch carefully you'll see and hear the traction control make a correction.

Well Mr Wiz, I Totally but respectfully disagree. You got your opinion and I got mine and you ain't God. LOL j/k.
I read about Frightliner's FRED too and that was one of the reasons I asked the question. But maybe, Just Maybe, there was someone out there that knew a little more about the subject. A few months back I read from a guy here on the internet who spoke of the Lee Bros. Bob and Ron. He gave some detailed info, but nothing "controversial." So, you never know who you might bump into, even on the internet or Camp sites. Ta ta
