Technology

The place for gearheads, ampheads, and anybody else who wants to discuss the finer points of battery technology, regenerative braking, continuously variable transmissions, planetary gear sets, computer control systems, etc.

This is the place to throw the conversation wide open. Improving conventional auto technologies could have a big impact on energy use in the short term. And wind, solar, clean coal and nuclear could bring change in the long term. What else?
