Applied Mathematics April 27th 2011

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Let's say the batteries of your plug-in-hybrid car have got a storage capacity of 10 kWh (so many is planned for the next generation of the S-class of Mercedes-Benz) and you charge it by the engine of your car at a power output of 100 kW (really very modest nowadays, especially in a supreme class car - by far not the maximum output) then you have to charge the batteries for 360 seconds = 6 minutes... And then your car is ready to drive 50-60 kms electrically in the jungle/desert of the city... Because you have got a little power plant in your car - hopefully of a very good efficiency...

The above were inspired by the W16-engine of the Bugatti 16C Galibier of a maximum output of 1,000 HP...

Best wishes, Joseph de la Mikula and Team
