Again, I "Get" the bsfc thing, but am pretty good at bsfcing with a 5 speed already, so trying to say it may be something that training/education is a better solution than technology. Best I've seen for a cvt is in the %75 efficient range, and that's pretty much a constant hit. I don't expect much better from an "electronic transmission", replacing lubricated metal teeth with electromagnets.
dcb,now I've got to store 98% as the benchmark.Thanks!
75 % doesn't sound too good does it?
I don't have anything on 'electronic trannies',is that something being cooked up out on the fringe?
