Power rating

Since NEV's only need to be able to reach a speed of 45 km/h, the power rating (HP) of the vehicle can be way lower than what it needs to be with highway-capable vehicles (that need to be able to attain 120 km/h).^[1] Since wind resistance becomes ever greater with higher speeds, power ratings of the engines used in vehicles need to be much larger (non-lineair graph).^[2] This also means that much more energy (fuel) is needed to propel the vehicles, and as vehicles are much more powerful and able to attain larger speeds, the possibility of fatal accidents becomes much greater (so the fact that we allow these powerful vehicles to be build results in more deaths).

Merge

The following discussion is an archived discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: Not moved — apparent proposed merge of two mostly unrelated articles listed (mistakenly?) as RM without rationale. (non-admin closure) benmoore 20:04, 7 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Low-speed vehicle → Low-energy vehicle – Please place your rationale for the proposed move here. KVDP (talk) 13:55, 6 February 2014 (UTC) KVDP (talk) 13:55, 6 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy procedural close WP:RM is for renaming articles, WP:PM is for mergers, this is a merge request, therefore out of scope. -- 70.50.148.248 (talk) 14:52, 6 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Comment the merge request makes no sense, how is an orange-triangle vehicle equivalent to that WP:SOAPBOX article Low-energy_vehicle ? Street legal farm equipment carry the triangle, but have nothing to do with fuel efficient vehicles. -- 70.50.148.248 (talk) 15:18, 6 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
