Hi Peri and All, With some accessories you can cut that way down by a transport system approach. I need most of what you say my solution is a 2-4 seat EV with 60-120 mile range that tows a convertible lightweight aero trailer making it into a van, camper, flatbed, pickup. Just add a clean fuel RE rounds it out for those times EV range, fast charging won't do. A vehicle is only wasteful if one doesn't use it's capacity. By doing things that make it more flexible saves much. All my very lightweight EV's have trailer hitches and my EV trike pickup does much what I need with only 40 mile range. It's trailer, a wood/epoxy flat bed has been used from it to a pickup, camper, etc by putting on various shells, sides, etc. Jerry Dycus From: Peri Hartman via EV <[email protected]> To: Electric Vehicle Discussion List <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, March 9, 2015 6:41 PM Subject: Re: [EVDL] EV range needs, future best options Ok, we've seen both sides of the "wasteful" range question. Let me pose this: how close to saturation are we for the market of people who can afford and are willing to have an additional car just so they can buy a short range (50+ miles) for local driving.
That is, how many people are left who will buy a short range EV with the justification they also have an ICE car for longer distances? Let me be sarcastic: under the ideal world I'd have about 10 vehicles: my bicycle, maybe an e-bike, a small 1 person EV, a small 2 person EV, a 4 door sedan EV, a 4 door sedan ICE, a pickup truck, a van. Lost count, is that 10? Then, I'd use each vehicle most efficiently. Peri -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
