Re: [EVDL] Why the EV will win over the ICE

The simple solution has to solve the problem, though, and in this case they 
have a requirement that it run on gasoline. And electric motor controller 
doesn’t work so well for that.

...but not the most profitable solution. :-/

Given the auto company's huge legacy in ICE technology, a "new" design 
is just a tiny tweak on an old design. That is quick and easy to make. 
Given today's cheap offshore parts and labor, a complex solution is also 
likely to be "cheap enough". So getting a bad solution on the market 
early is more profitable than a good solution later (especially when all 
you competitors are doing the same thing).


Finding the "best" solution takes more time. You also have to spend more 
money on R&D and engineering talent. That costs money *now*, and won't 
produce revenue until later. As the old saying goes, "a bird in the hand 
is worth two in the bush".

[EVDL] Why the EV will win over the ICE

[ROBERT via EV]

I saw this article describing the a newly designed engine for an Infiniti 
Automobile.  In order to get fuel economy and performance from the engine, the 
design is very complex.  All this can be accomplished by software in an 
electric motor controller.  The simplest solution is always the best solution.
