Battery Taxonomy: The Differences between Hybrid and EV Batteries

Battery Taxonomy: The Differences between Hybrid and EV Batteries

Cars, ,
BY CSABA CSERE | CarAndDriver.Com Troy Warren for CNT #Cars While electric vehicles require both range and power from the battery pack, hybrids require similar power with far less energy. You might think that the battery pack of any electrified vehicle—hybrid, plug-in hybrid (PHEV), or pure electric (BEV)—is pretty much the same, other than its size. But that overlooks two key differences in the way batteries are used in different types of electrified vehicles. First is the flow of electrical power in and out of the battery relative to its size. For example, during modest acceleration all three types of electrified vehicles use a…

Overwintering a water hyacinth is rarely justified

Overwintering a water hyacinth is rarely justified

Home & Garden
By Walter Reeves, For the AJC Troy Warren for CNT #HomeGarden Q: I have a small 18-gallon patio pond. My water hyacinth is doing great, but when winter comes, how can I overwinter it indoors? Would a heater in the outdoor pond work? Alfred Britt, Henry County A: Check with your local garden center to see if they will have water hyacinths for sale in the spring. If so, it’s a lot easier to buy them at that time instead of overwintering them. To thrive indoors, water hyacinth needs lots of light and warm water. I suppose you could use a couple of…

COVID-19, In The News, Lifestyle,
By TERRY SPENCER, JENNIFER SINCO KELLEHER and ANDREW SELSKY, Associated Press Troy Warren for CNT #COVID-19 The rapidly escalating surge in COVID-19 infections across the U.S. has caused a shortage of nurses and other front-line staff in virus hot spots that can no longer keep up with the flood of unvaccinated patients and are losing workers to burnout and lucrative out-of-state temporary gigs. Florida, Arkansas and Louisiana all have more people hospitalized with COVID-19 than at any other point in the pandemic, and nursing staff is being stretched thin. In Florida, virus cases have filled so many hospital beds that ambulance…

Guy Fieri Created an Apple Pie Hot Dog —And It’s Only Being Served at One Baseball Game

Guy Fieri Created an Apple Pie Hot Dog —And It’s Only Being Served at One Baseball Game

Foodie, ,
By Jelisa Castrodale | FoodAndWine.Com Troy Warren for CNT #Foodie The collaboration harkens back to a classic Chevrolet ad that name-dropped the two classic American dishes. In the early 1970s, a career copywriter at Detroit's Campbell Ewald ad agency combined four All-American items into an inescapably catchy commercial jingle, one that pretty much soundtracked every 70s kid's entire childhood. James Hartzell's "Baseball, Hot Dogs, Apple Pie, and Chevrolet," song debuted on TV and the radio in 1974 and it made an immediate impact (and became an immediate earworm). Almost 30 years later, Car & Driver named "Baseball, Hot Dogs, Apple Pie, and Chevrolet" as…
