We have seen a lot of great designs from other teams. They may lead us well into the future. Congratulations to their great work and acomplishment. But you may not see those on the road for years to come or never. One of the criteria for the competition is 10,000 unit annual mass production ready. Would that be realized?
Although we don't have the highest MPGe vehicle and didn't get the most practical votes, but it is real and there are over 300 vehicles with our plugin conversion kit on the road.

Sunday will be our last day at MIS. We got an official result. Our vehicle didn't achieve minimum fuel economy to continue in the competition. The very rigorous drive cycles (6 stops, 0 to 50 MPH every 2 miles) took us by surprise. It is quite different from the EPA UDDC cycle with which we have tested and got great result. Our vehicle has not been tuned to such aggressive drive cycle. We wish we could have chance to practice ahead of time.
Nevertherless, it has been a great adventure for all of us. We met a lot of talented people from othe... more »

It seems that electriciation has been over emphasized. A lot of advocate groups think pure electric car is the only solution.
Last time I check, most of our power plants are still running off fossil fuel, escpecially dirty coal plants. We seem forget about everything else that makes a pure electric car work in large scale, such as precious metal mining, chemical processing for the batteries, or dumping / recycling existing 900 million cars, grid power line cost and efficiency lost.
Our existing engine in our vehicle has only 20% thermal ef... more »
