2013 Ford Fusion Hybrid?

RoyalBoltz

The 2013 Ford Fusion Hybrid, a hybrid is a car that, must be charged in order to accelerate right?
Is it only chargeable alone? Or is it, chargeable, and gas powered? Both? With the 2013 FFHybrid.

Also how do you charge the 2013 FFHybrid? Do we have to drive some where like a electric station
to charge it? Or can it be charged from home?
Try to answer all the Question Marks thanks.

Answer
Hi RoyalBoltz,

The 2013 Fusion Hybrid is powered by both an electric and a gasoline motor, however there is no charging required. The electric motor stores power regained from the regenerative braking system. The regenerative braking system captures energy otherwise lost as heat during vehicle braking, recovering over 90% of the brake energy and recharging the lithium-ion battery.

There's no need to charge the vehicle at an electric station or at home - the vehicle "charges" itself by storing the regained power.

The Fusion Energi is Ford's plug-in hybrid version of the Fusion. You can learn more about that particular model here: http://www.ford.com/cars/fusion/features/#page=Feature2

Have a great day!

Should I buy 2013 or 2014 Accord possibly electric 2014 accord or another similar car?

brian

In the next few months I will prepare to buy new car. I currently have a 2003 Accord and don't expect much action on the trade in(its has<100K miles but let me know if I am wrong at that). So here is my main question(s). Should I wait until July when the new 2014's come out? I mean what is the difference in value? Defining value with a quasi equation like price/year+new options. Is it worthwhile for me to wait until the 2014 model year comes out. Also, in 2014 an electric version comes out which claims 100+ mpg at the same time says something like 46 mpg - I live in the city so I my commute is rather short and this may be in my wheelhouse. I am wondering also about TCO (total cost of ownership) estimated break even point, tax incentives and peoples experience with electric cars. I typically keep my cars for 10 years if that is a help. Also, I am looking for some good strategies to get the best landed price for my purchase.

Answer
As long as the range limitations of an electric car work with your driving needs, it will save you money on fuel and maintenance - a lot of money.
*
A typical gas-fueled car costs over $200/month to fuel with gasoline. The same miles on electricity cost less than $40 per month - maybe even less than $20 (check with your utility, they may have special overnight EV charging rates.)
*
Plus, electric motors don't need oil changes, filters, fluids, spark plugs, tune-ups or any other regular maintenance. Some people worry about batteries, but modern EV battery formulas are very long-lived (likely to be at least 150,000 miles.)
*
The purchase price will be higher, but remember to consider the total cost of driving, not just the cost of the car. A monthly payment that's $150 higher is no big deal if you are saving $200 on fuel cost.

how can i make a remote control car go faster?

warlooker

i brought a small remote control car about less than $20.00 hoping i can make it go faster.
how can i make it go faster i want to put a battery in so the motor can spin faster and oil my gears.
but is there any other way to do it.
thank you guys for helping.

Answer
For $20.00 you can't expect to get much more out of the car. It's not really built for speed at that price. Basically, this is a kids toy. There is a huge difference between remote control cars for kids and remote control cars for adults. The complexities of the cars have a very wide gap. Kids cars will run on just a few AA batteries. RC cars for adults feature full miniature engines. Lots of the popular motor kits run on fuel such as gasoline or nitro. Others run on large battery packs that are essentially beefed up versions of kids toys. These cars require just as much maintenance as a real car, since they have all of the same components (plus all of the radio transmitting gear!) to deal with.

So you may want to save up and get your moneys worth by opting for petrol, nitro or electric models. The fastest engine choice that you can find is a nitro engine. Nitromethane is an alternative to regular gasoline, and runs much better for RC cars. It is usually heavier, and therefore more cumbersome on the handling of the car. However, if you are going to be on a fairly straightforward and tame race course, it is a great choice and will provide a huge speed. The only down side is that nitro engines are known for wearing down faster, and breaking at a higher rate. If you use a nitro engine frequently, you can almost expect it to break after intense usage. It is a good idea to have an electric engine that you can swap it out with when the need arises.

The other parts of the car are equally important when you are aiming for absolute fastness. If you are you going all-out on a project, you should expect to spend quite a bit on components like wheels and axels. Usually you want to get wheels that are extremely firm and light. If you have the opportunity to go out to a hobby store and test out a few different components, you will be able to decide exactly what you want based on experiencing it first-hand. This is the best way to shop for anything, and the same goes for remote control cars. Since the parts are usually highly swappable, you can directly compare one with another by trying them in quick succession.

If you arenât a very technically inclined person, the thought of picking all of these parts might not sound very fun. However, you might not have to go through this process. It is possible to buy kits that include all top of the line parts, and are quite easy to assemble. With these you wonât get the high level of customization that you would get out of building a regular home-made car. Being able to choose all of the parts separately is a great benefit, although 90% of the time you can replace individual parts if you decide that you want to go for something that is of a higher quality or a little bit faster than what you had before.

All of these things really add up. If you have one part of a car that doesnât perform as well, the entire thing will be affected. Therefore you need to choose your parts carefully to have the best remote controlled car possible.

Is a gas or electric remote control car better?

Larissa

Answer
depends on type, use and user.

if your say using a ourdoor model for dirt or offroad i'd say gas.

if its for a kid, electric, with a rechargeble.
