I hope this doesn’t give GM an excuse to let the current powertrains rot on the vine. I need more power. C’mon, make one last new line of kickass V8s...

15 years, so I figure we'll see at least 2 more generations.

They want all these EV's but guess where all the stuff to get the batteries are, underground........   Bunch of stupid paper pushers that only do things because of their agenda. The US will

They’ll probably be OK with all the new ROWs they’ll need to put transmission lines in for all the new electric power they’ll need. Opposed to buried pipelines that all you see is grass. Talk about an

That's a fact with the new administration we now have.

GM backs away from hydrogen fuel-cell tech in passenger vehicles (greencarreports.com)

yeah everything is still in testing phase , but i don't belive they are backing out.  they are designing systems with no batteries for the military and commercial sector , and getting cost down before jumping in to consumer level.  Honda and Toyota are leading the way, GM just follows and sees what works and what doesn't

What a joke.....so typical, the "experts" have no clue as to what is reality. 

Gee, everyone else is doing it we better too. 

 

I'd like to know how "clean" these vehicles are if you 100% track them from birth to grave.

Hybrid i would believe. Need onboard fuel (gas) and it could actually be a nice setup. 

There's new types of internal combustion engines and electric drive motors on the horizon. 14 years in today's terms can imply vast technological changes. Will automotive keep up?? That's another question. 

 

What, building the charging infrastructure is no longer complicated or difficult in 14 years (easy), but does require a lot of metal.

Current H2 cars cost 3X per mile my current cost.

2X more for most drivers  

:)

 

So far compact cars with Rolls Royce prices.

 

 

 factored in the cost of cost/mile of burning Hydrogen as a fuel by itself and its just a waste  since its not a hydrocarbon, i'm not sure Hydrogen gets good milage unless you mix the fuel with a Hydrocarbon fuel to get the energy  density up higher.  Hydrogen has the fastest flame speed inside a cylinder so it mixes well with other liquid fuels.

 

our DI trucks I feel where designed around hydrogen injection technology , just add a port injector to spray a gas or diesel fuel into the mix and correct the timing closer to zero degrees and you got a real flex fuel vehicle.

If we don't get away from fossil fuels to travel across the face of the planet, we won't make it another 150 years.  We need full electric vehicles when we have fusion power plants, electrify the roads, there's your charger. I don't see it happening in any form for decades.

Earth has a water cycle. The exact same number of molecules of water are her today that were here when God created this planet. The term 'water shortage' does not describe a depletion of earths water volume. Rather a state in which the earths ability to recycle water to a life sustaining state in sufficient volume to satisfy mans needs has been exceeded. 

 

Earth has an Oxygen cycle where breath changes it to Carbon Dioxide and plants change it back to Oxygen.

Again it is about balance. 

 

Things get out of balance when GREED demands more from the system than the systems design will sustain.

 

Humans are good at disrupting balance.

Not so good at restoring it.

This is beyond human ability

GLobalist and Bankers are destroying the planet, not the humans.  These two groups are responsible for alot of the planets troubles. and the next Revolution will be AI and RObotics. so this means wiping out a large percentage of earth's population , since they wont need us anymore.

We may destroy ourselves. The earth will live on and say, next?

If we can terraform the planet by human action (assuming it's possible), we can buy ourselves perhaps another 500 million years of habitation. It's actually a very convenient truth, if true.

GM says no to carbon based fuels , will building materials be next? isn't there carbon or graphite in all lithium battery technology?  i can see the cost of our $30,000 pick ups will be heading into the $100,000 range along with increased deflation of the dollar. take care of what you got!

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By newdude · Posted

      No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.

      Active Grille Delete

      Hello from Australia Just sharing that there is now a way to delete the active shutters entirely with just a plug in module. Opens up tons of room to light bars etc.

      I have an observation and a question... 1) I watch the voltage closely because I have had to dial in the cut-in/cut-out voltages of the battery separator to my camper.  The "smart" charging drives me nuts.  Anyway, I noticed that when coasting for a while, and especially if lightly using the brakes (though not necessary), the voltage goes up from mid/high-13 volts to mid/high-14 volts.  Then it drops back down after stopping or going again.  Consistently!   The only explanation I can come up with is REGENERATIVE BRAKING!  Well, maybe that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but it's certainly free extra battery charging.   2) Driving on mountain roads I will use L and vary the max gear.  Things straighten out and I end up in L10.  Sometimes I leave it there for a while.  Is there any difference between L10 and D?

      Tire pressure for 37s

      Do you think this width might affect the chalk test with a higher pressure closer to 65psi? I think lowering the pressure makes sense to get the tread to lay flatter
