One of the boooks are writting visual basic that I learned from actually used making a port scanner as a learning project. Which I thought was kind of funny, but I did learn the basics of networking.

You're comment is so full of holes that a slice of Swiss Cheese would provide more shelter from the cold. Really if you want to do the environment a favor STFU because people like you are why environmentalists get little respect and often do more harm then good.

Okay so here is what is wrong with your comment from bottom up:

So 150 miles is the worst case range of an electric mini cooper, or at least the average range? Um hmm this quote really says that right, "Mini says that ... with regenerative braking provides a 150-mile range" Yes, of course mini cooper wouldn't want to give us a high range figure to help sell there cars right. Am thinking that actual drivers will get around 100 to 120 miles out of the 35 kilowatt-hour battery and less if they use fast freeway miles where regenerative braking is useless. Yeah, this sounds like the worst case scenario for the electric mini. I haven't even touched how a 35 kWh battery gets 35kWh from a power plant at 100% efficiency.

Um, where does a Mini get 6.7 tons of C02 per 15,000 miles on the above web page, none of them get that, Clubman S and regular S get 6.8 tons, comparing the S to the gasoline version in worst case for the electric version is unfair, especial since the model used to get CO2/miles of electric version is unknown and certainly different then the EPAs. To be more fair to the gasoline mini cooper NON-S gets 5.8 tons per 15,000 miles which comes out to 0.773. Also a diesel mini cooper gets better C02 per mile. Also the EPA assumes that you will use your AC which BMW probably does not account for in it's MAX range estimate. Yes, the electric mini does have AC.

I am not evening going to touch on how a mini cooper charges it's batteries at 100 percent efficiency from a power plant many mile away. Yes, I realize that to be fair gasoline takes energy to get from the ground to your tank. Looking it over it is possibly that a small car with gasoline engine could get better C02/mile then a small car with an electric engine powered by coal. I how ever doubt that it would be twice as C02 efficiency, even given the right biased calculations. But these does not excuse you because you said worst case for the electric which you clearly are no where near calculating. And I am too lazy to calculate especially since I know that there will be plenty of holes in my calculations.
