Telstra has revealed the addition of almost one million new mobile services in the six months to December 2011, but Sensis revenues plummeted 24 percent in 12 months.
Internode managing director, Simon Hackett, has driven the world’s first fully-electric production supercar 3000 kilometres from Darwin to Adelaide at a cost of $126.11, or four cents a kilometre, and equal to fuel use of 1.6 litres per 100 kilometres.
The ISP boss and founder said the energy
consumption of his car – a Tesla Roadster – was measured in watt hours
per kilometre (Wh/km), which translates into fuel-equivalence with the
online calculator.
The cost of the journey at $126.11 using 100 percent GreenPower was
calculated at on-peak rates, and according to the consumption report,
using off-peak GreenPower .that cost could be as low as $69.11 (2.2
cents per km).
According to Hackett, the Tesla’s best energy performance was on its
record-breaking trip when it travelled more than 500km on a single
charge from Alice Springs to south of Marla in South Australia, with
the car consuming 108 Wh/km – equal to a fuel-powered car consuming
1.22 litres of fuel per 100 km. “That’s 193 miles per gallon in US
measures,” Hackett said, adding that “in addition to its spectacular
energy efficiency, the Roadster produced no carbon emissions during the
epic road trip.”
Hackett described the Tesla’s energy efficiency figures as “amazing,”
and said that “in effective terms, this EV (Electric Vehicle) is more
than twice as efficient as any petrol or diesel car on the road – no
contest.
“We feel that we have tested the Roadster in a very harsh environment
indeed – and in that environment, it has come through with flying
colours. We couldn’t be happier about the results of our efforts.”
