Electric Vehicle Range Calculations

If you are self-employed and use your car for business, keeping track of mileage could be the most profitable use of their time throughout the year. I know it sounds shocking, but often true. Many if not most self-employed people find monitor the commercial use of your vehicle to be a nuisance and simply do not. After all, the need for a mileage log emerges only in tax time, so it is not in our minds all year.

How much is your time worth? Most of us think our time is too valuable to pass the recording Business mileage in a log book every time we get in the car for business purposes. But I will convince you otherwise.

First I have a few assumptions. Let us assume that, as self-employed your tax return in a Schedule as a sole proprietor, thus subjecting business income for self-employment tax at 15.3%. Next I'll assume that is in the range of 25% marginal tax. That is, for every additional dollar you earn you pay 25 cents in the federal income tax.

For purposes of this example, I'll assume that you drive about 8,000 miles per year for commercial purposes. That means that driving customers, suppliers, the office supply store, the post office, etc. The standard deduction allowed by the IRS for business use of your car has been hovering around 50 cents per mile in recent years. As I write this, the allowable deduction is 55 cents per mile. For 8,000 miles, which gives a deduction $ 4,400 against your business income. Since you are paying taxes at a rate of 40.3% (15.3% self-employment tax + 25% federal income tax) that $ 4,400 deduction will reduce your tax bill by $ 1,773!

I keep a spiral notebook in my car seat at all times. Every time I get into my to conduct car business to write the date, mileage beginning, my destiny and my purpose. It takes less than a minute. When I come home, I record mileage end. At the end of the year, all amounts entered in a spreadsheet and calculate the total mileage. Then I go into the business mileage on my tax software and smile as I see my tax bill is drastically reduced.

But is it worth it? Let's say that based on my experience, the average person will spend about 8 minutes a week keeping track of mileage. That works out to 7 hours per year. Add an hour to enter the amounts in a spreadsheet to year. That is 8 hours of labor to save $ 1773. That works $ 221.63 per hour. Do you normally earn more than $ 200 per hour? Probably not. As you can see, worth your time to keep track of mileage. If you are in a lower tax bracket or if the drive fewer miles, you can perform the calculation yourself to see if it's worth your time.

For those who simply calculate the amount you use your car for business every year, keep in mind that the IRS has strict requirements for auto mileage justification. They do not accept the estimates. You must have a written record that is "contemporary". That is, is recorded at or near the day of business travel. That means you can not recreate a mileage log six months after the fact.

If you are one of the self-employed people has always been too busy to be bothered with a record of mileage, I hope you reconsider. It could be more profitable work to be done all year.

The Electric Vehicle $60 Recent attention to hybrid cars that run on both gasoline and electric batteries has made the electric car an apparent alternative to the internal combustion engine and its attendant environmental costs and geopolitical implications. Few people realize that the electric car — neither a recent invention nor a historical curiosity — has a story as old as that of the gasoline-powered automobile, and that at one time many in the nascent automobile industry believed battery-powered engines would become the dominant technology. In both Europe and America, electric cars and trucks succeeded in meeting the needs of a wide range of consumers. Before World War II, as many as 30,000 electric cars and more than 10,000 electric trucks plied American roads; European cities were busy with, electrically propelled fire engines, taxis, delivery vans, buses, heavy trucks and private cars. Even so, throughout the century-long history of electric propulsion, the widespread conviction it was an inferior technology remained stubbornly in place, an assumption mirrored in popular and scholarly memory. In The Electric Vehicle, Gijs Mom challenges this view, arguing that at the beginning of the automobile age neither the internal combustion engine nor the battery-powered vehicle enjoyed a clear advantage. He explores the technology and marketing/consumer-ratio faction relationship over four generations of electric-vehicle design, with separate chapters on privately owned passenger cars and commercial vehicles. Mom makes comparisons among European countries and between Europe and America.He finds that the electric vehicle offered many advantages, among them greater reliability and control, lessnoise and pollution. He also argues that a nexus of factors — cultural (underpowered and less rugged, electric cars seemed feminine at a time when most car buyers were men), structural (the shortcomings of battery technology at the time), and systemic (the infrastructural problems of changing large numbers of batteries) — ultimately gave an edge to the internal combustion engine. One hopes, as a new generation of electric vehicles becomes a reality, The Electric Vehicle offers a long-overdue reassessment of the place of this technology in the history of street transportation.

Electric Vehicle Technology Explained $156.73 While the classic battery electric car continues to make only a small impact on the automobile market, other types of electric vehicle, especially hybrids, have made significant and promising improvements. Moreover, small battery electric vehicles such as bicycles and mobility aids are also developing well. Presenting more than 160 diagrams and pictures, this book explains the science and technology behind these important developments, and also introduces the issues that underpin the design and performance modelling of electric vehicles. Electric Vehicle Technology Explained: Encompasses a full range of electric vehicles: bicycles, mobility aids, delivery vehicles and buses – not just cars. Covers all the basic technology relating to electric road vehicles – batteries, super capacitors, flywheels, fuel cells, electric motors and their controllers, and system design. Considers the environmental benefits and disadvantages of electric vehicles and their component devices. Includes case studies of a range of batteries, hybrids and fuel cell powered vehicles, from bicycles to buses. Offers many MATLAB® examples explaining the design of appropriate computer prediction models. Professionals, researchers and engineers in the electric vehicle industry as well as advanced students in electrical and mechanical engineering will benefit from this comprehensive coverage of electric vehicle technology.

Clinical Calculations $100.43 The original is now a classic. Clinical Calculations was the first text to introduce the dimensional analysis method of calculating dosages, an approach rapidly becoming the method of choice for nurses. The fifth edition of this trailblazer showcases its proven strengths: a clear writing style, workbook-style format, strong IV therapy content, and clinical applicability. Critical thinking is encouraged in conjunction with memorized rules by asking learners to always consider whether their answers make sense. It does this within the context of providing the core knowledge-base for dosage calculation and administration for learners of all levels and experience. Chapters cover the range of practice, including systems of measurement, oral and parenteral medications, basic and advanced intravenous medications, and pediatric dosage. Just as the title suggests, this resource is the ideal tool for calculation in a clinical setting. With copious reference tools, outlined injection sites for IV therapy, and unique performance criteria for evaluating nurse competency, the tradition of excellence and innovation continues.
