Friction along the faults may account for the warmth of the springs, just one more way that the deep Earth affects us in our region.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You can also check out QUEST's \u003ca href=\"http://www.kqed.org/quest/exploration/alum-rock-exploration\">Alum Rock Science Hike\u003c/a> for more info.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> 37.397 -121.798\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}}],"link":"/quest/13629/geological-outings-around-the-bay-alum-rock-park","authors":["6228"],"categories":["quest_11"],"tags":["quest_3454","quest_3492","quest_3507","quest_3528","quest_3535","quest_3405","quest_1325","quest_1374","quest_3669","quest_2493","quest_3800"],"featImg":"quest_13638","label":"quest"},"quest_6845":{"type":"posts","id":"quest_6845","meta":{"index":"posts_1591205157","site":"quest","id":"6845","score":null,"sort":[1280352304000]},"guestAuthors":[],"slug":"chevy-volt-and-nissan-leaf-star-at-san-jose-electric-car-convention","title":"Chevy Volt and Nissan Leaf Star at San Jose Electric Car Convention","publishDate":1280352304,"format":"video","headTitle":"QUEST | KQED Science","labelTerm":{"site":"quest"},"content":"\u003cp>\u003cem>Originally reported for \u003ca href=\"http://www.kqed.org/news/\">KQEDnews.org\u003c/a>.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After years of stops and starts, electric cars and plug-in hybrids are on the cusp of a new era of mainstream acceptance, starting this year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That was the message this week from automakers, government officials and utility operators at the \u003ca href=\"http://www.plugin2010.com/\">Plug-In 2010\u003c/a> conference, a major international gathering of alternative vehicles at the San Jose Convention Center. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Now the rubber hits the road”, said Craig Childers, an air resources engineer with the \u003ca href=\"http://www.arb.ca.gov/homepage.htm\">California Air Resources Board\u003c/a>. “This is the last conference where we don’t have the cars.

The recognition of getting off of oil is important and I think the car is part of the larger energy environment ecosystem, it’s come to that realization that it is time to solve these problems in a systemic way”, said Pasowatz. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to the Air Resources Board, there are roughly 20,000 pure electric vehicles in California, including roughly 15,000 small neighborhood electric vehicles that aren’t designed to drive on highways. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Utilities, regulatory agencies and environmental organizations expect those numbers to rise as long as gas prices continue to be high, which makes electricity as a fuel source a particularly attractive option. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Gasoline is about $3, plus or minus, per gallon,” said Sunil Chhaya, a senior manager at the \u003ca href=\"http://my.epri.com/portal/server.pt?%5D%5B\">Electric Power Research Institute\u003c/a> in Palo Alto. ”Electricity is about 75 cents per gallon, so when you compare operating costs per mile, it’s about a fourth or a fifth the cost of gasoline.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As the economy improves and worldwide demand for oil grows, gasoline prices may not stay at the current level.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re not sure what gasoline prices are going to look like in the next five to 10 years and it’s widely expected that those will get on an upward trajectory again and start climbing up and beyond four a gallon,” said Childers. “In that case, we’re talking about a very big price difference for electricity. We actually need that because these electric cars are more expensive to build and buy and the only way consumers can afford it is by saving money on fuel.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Moreover, California’s grid, with its mix of hydroelectric power, nuclear power and renewables like solar and wind power, is also cleaner than the nation’s grid -- which relies more heavily on power from coal-fired plants. So environmental benefits accrue when drivers plug-in to the grid to charge their vehicles. Chhaya said that “50 to 60 percent of the CO2 emissions can be reduced by using a battery electric vehicle plugged into the state’s grid.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, a big factor for consumers is the sticker price of electric cars. Palo Alto-based Tesla motors offers currently only one electric vehicle line, its sporty Roadster that retails for more than $100,000. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Availability of public charging stations has also been a challenge. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Earlier this year, however, Campbell-based Coulomb Technologies received a $37 million grant from the U.S. Department of Energy to build 4,600 charging stations in nine metro areas, including San Francisco, San Jose, Sacramento and Los Angeles by September 2011. The charging stations will also feature a new connecting standard adopted in January by the Society of Automotive Engineers so that any electric car can be charged at the charging stations. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For consumers like Kadife Besir-Dunlap, a schoolteacher from Woodland, neither the Chevy Volt nor the Nissan Leaf can compare to her beloved EV1 which was reclaimed by GM in 2002 when her two-year lease expired and GM refused to renew the lease for her or other EV1 owners.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The Volt is a plug-in, it’s not full electric,” she said. “The car of the future is powered by the fuels of Jurassic time. My frustration is renewed right now. GM could have produced another electric vehicle. They had the technology and a really nice car with the EV1 and they could have reproduced something like that, a more affordable full electric car. A hybrid car is not progress, it’s stagnation.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since the tow truck took away her family’s EV1, Besir-Dunlap has been driving an all-electric Toyota RAV4. Earlier this month, under a partnership with Tesla Motors, Toyota announced plans to start production up again on the all-electric RAV4 in 2012 at the NUMMI auto plant in Fremont. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, some people at the conference couldn’t wait to plug-in and drive. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I see nothing but increases in gas prices so I want to get out of the polluting, expensive internal combustion world and into the less expensive, less polluting world of electric vehicles,” said Jared Alaqua, a 28 year-old Novato resident pursuing his M.B.A. “And I hear that they actually perform better.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Check out these QUEST resources for related information:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/quest/video/waiting-for-the-electric-car\">Waiting for the Electric Car\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/quest/video/plugin-hybrid-cars\">Plug-in Hybrids\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> 37.3291138 -121.8886351\u003c/p>\n\n","blocks":[],"excerpt":"After years of stops and starts, electric cars and plug-in hybrids are on the cusp of a new era of mainstream acceptance, starting this year.","status":"publish","parent":0,"modified":1457710959,"stats":{"hasAudio":false,"hasVideo":false,"hasChartOrMap":false,"iframeSrcs":[],"hasGoogleForm":false,"hasGallery":false,"hasHearkenModule":false,"hasPolis":false,"paragraphCount":38,"wordCount":1693},"headData":{"title":"Chevy Volt and Nissan Leaf Star at San Jose Electric Car Convention | KQED","description":"After years of stops and starts, electric cars and plug-in hybrids are on the cusp of a new era of mainstream acceptance, starting this year.","ogTitle":"","ogDescription":"","ogImgId":"","twTitle":"","twDescription":"","twImgId":"","schema":{"@context":"http://schema.org","@type":"Article","headline":"Chevy Volt and Nissan Leaf Star at San Jose Electric Car Convention","datePublished":"2010-07-28T21:25:04.000Z","dateModified":"2016-03-11T15:42:39.000Z","image":"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/KQED-OG-Image@1x.png"}},"disqusIdentifier":"6845 http://www.kqed.org/quest/blog/2010/07/28/chevy-volt-and-nissan-leaf-star-at-san-jose-electric-car-convention/","disqusUrl":"https://ww2.kqed.org/quest/2010/07/28/chevy-volt-and-nissan-leaf-star-at-san-jose-electric-car-convention/","disqusTitle":"Chevy Volt and Nissan Leaf Star at San Jose Electric Car Convention","path":"/quest/6845/chevy-volt-and-nissan-leaf-star-at-san-jose-electric-car-convention","audioTrackLength":null,"parsedContent":[{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003cp>\u003cem>Originally reported for \u003ca href=\"http://www.kqed.org/news/\">KQEDnews.org\u003c/a>.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After years of stops and starts, electric cars and plug-in hybrids are on the cusp of a new era of mainstream acceptance, starting this year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That was the message this week from automakers, government officials and utility operators at the \u003ca href=\"http://www.plugin2010.com/\">Plug-In 2010\u003c/a> conference, a major international gathering of alternative vehicles at the San Jose Convention Center. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Now the rubber hits the road”, said Craig Childers, an air resources engineer with the \u003ca href=\"http://www.arb.ca.gov/homepage.htm\">California Air Resources Board\u003c/a>. “This is the last conference where we don’t have the cars.
