[EVDL] Almost....
So, this morning I help my parents finish putting in a bunch of sod in their back yard. Afterwards, Dad followed up on a couple Web sites he's been looking at and did a bit of math...and it seemed just possible that, with a trade-in offer and Federal tax credits and all the rest, they might be able to pay $15,000 cash (and hand over the title to the trade-in car) and drive away with a 2016 i-MiEV. So, we drove down to the dealership, ready to do so if they were willing to do so. Alas, what with all the taxes and fees and not wanting to give nearly so much on the trade-in and what-not...it was going to cost a bit over $21,000 at the end of the day for the car. So we walked. But it's pretty much a given at this point that they'll be buying an EV in the very near future b -- next part -- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Re: [EVDL] NEV/Golfcart EV numbers needed, low cost GC batts
I purchase the last set of GC batteries from Interstate back in 2007, but they came from the US Battery Company. Interstate only sells there stock up to the 220 ah. Higher than 220 ah, they purchase them from US Battery. I found this out when I went to the Auto Parts Store where they sell the Interstate batteries. The Interstate battery truck was at the store and I ask him about the 250 ah GC batteries. He said they get them from the US Battery Company. The driver is also the owner of the local distributer. He quoted me a price of about $100.00 per battery or about $3000.00 for thirty of them, delivered right to my home. I kept the old batteries which I could have got $20.00 core charge. Used them to replace the 30 Trojan batteries that we where using in a cabin in the mountains that ran a inverter for 10 years that was also use in the EV for 8.5 years. The US Batteries also ran my EV to Oct 2014 which was about 7.5 years which was purchase April 2007. One thing that I specified, was that I wanted the batteries to be pre match and same manufacturer date. The Interstate guy, said he orders several hundred pallet loads at a time, and come to his shop and I can pre-match them my self with the instruments and testers they have. After going through 180 batteries, I found thirty that all read 6.44 volts at rest after apply a starting load.

Re: [EVDL] Comuta-Car PbSO4 batteries
Another thing to consider when getting batteries is the overall height, including terminal posts. There isn't much room height-wise in the bumpers where the batteries are located. Will the 8v batteries have the same physical dimension as the T-105? The batteries nearest the ends of the Comutacar will have less of a problem, but the inboard batteries have a metal frame right above some of the terminals. Changing from eight 6v to six 8v batteries to keep 48v may create too much room in the battery boxes, as they were designed to be more or less crammed in place and held down with a single bolt in the center of the four batteries, with the edges of the box keeping the square arrangement in line. The charger in stock Comutacars is somewhat underpowered because there is another charging system for the 12v system battery that lives under the driver's seat. If memory serves, the 48v charger puts out about 20 amps (~1kW) compared to the Lester chargers in older Citicars that put out about 25 amps (~1.2 kW). Both use about 14-15 amps from the wall plug, and the chargers are very sensitive to input voltage. If a normal 120 - 125 volts is present at the plug when charging, they would charge relatively quickly. If the wiring wasn't up to spec, or the pole transformer was set low, (perhaps 110 to 115 volts) they would take forever to finish a charge, and would probably not get a good finish charge because they ended below 60 volts. If the new buyer goes down to 36 volts (6 6v batteries) they will need a different charger, and the top speed will be reduced significantly, from about 35 mph for 48v to 28 mph at 36 volts.

But tossing that political football round is OT for us, and also kind of pointless, since it won't change anything. I think what matters in this discussion is that at least some EVs are already passing information about your use of them back to the manufacturer. Now suppose your legislature passes an EV pay-by-mileage law, and your local DMV gives you a choice between allowing them access to your EV's data and not getting a license for the EV. They have an economic interest in those data, since online access means that they don't have to pay someone to check your odometer. Hey, look how wisely they're using your tax dollars! :-\ Again, I'm no attorney, but as I understand it, courts have ruled that driving isn't a fundamental right. You have the choice to maintain your privacy by not driving your EV, and your constitutional rights are thus sufficiently satisfied. Fifteen years ago I would have said this couldn't happen, but a lot has happened in that time that I thought never would. I also thought that the contribution EVs make to the public health (and thus public expense) would be rewarded by allowing them to escape fuel tax. I sure was wrong about that!

But that is because they failed to support their product and honor the warranty. They lied about and obfuscated the battery problem they had. All batteries have problems and limitations; I object to Nissan's way of dealing with their problems, not necessarily the products. The alternate channels for factory batteries probably have no warranties. I'm fine with that. On further consideration, the Volt modules would probably be a better choice for a hot weather location, assuming your C-Car is staying in LV.

[EVDL] EVLN: Uber.cn using Trumpchi GA5 REV pih

The company is introducing ten hybrid electric vehicles to its fleet of cars through a partnership with Guangzhou Automobile. The hybrid car service is expected to roll out this week and will be called UberGREEN, according to Tech in Asia. The new service will use Guangzhou Automobile’s Trumpchi GA5 REV car. In April, the city of Wuhaun announced plans to add 1,000 [pih] vehicles to its fleet of taxis. Always keen to compete, Uber seems to be bringing out green car service just to stay up on the competition. But Uber is also testing its UberGREEN service in other cities. So far the company appears to have tested electric car service in Chicago in the U.S. [ http://www.engadget.com/2015/03/15/uber-electric-byd-e6-chicago/ ] and Prague in the Czech Republic [ https://twitter.com/Uber_Praha/status/590795933459296256 ].

The tie-up is between Uber, the Guangzhou Automobile brand, and a fleet company in the city of Wuhan, which will see ten hybrid cars hitting the streets of Wuhan in an experiment to see if commuters like them. Once it rolls out to consumers, reportedly sometime this week, it’ll be called UberGreen. The UberGreen initiative was confirmed over the weekend by Uber’s official Uber Wuhan account on Weibo (via CarNewsChina and EVlook). Uber will use Guangzhou Automobile’s Trumpchi GA5 REV car (REV stands for range-extended EV), as pictured at Uber’s press event in the city, which features a small (1.0-liter, 45kw) petrol engine allied with an electric motor (31kw) and a battery pack. It can do 80 kilometers on pure electric, but with so little electrical power, it’ll probably be running in hybrid mode most of the time. Uber already operates UberX and its not-for-profit People’s Uber in the city of Wuhan. But it’s not the only company offering green rides. In April the city unveiled a program that will add more than 1,000 electric taxis to its fleet – including 100 Tesla S85 sedans. California-based Uber now operates in nine cities in mainland China after first launching in August 2013. Recently, Uber has been the target of police raids in several cities, though its operations do not seem to have been affected.

The logistics and drivers will be handled by a local company called ‘Green New Energy Limousine Service’ and the vehicles will be provided by Chinese automaker Guangzhou Automobile. The operations have started today, May 25, with an initial fleet of ten hybrid-powered Guangzhou Auto Trumpchi GA5 REV sedans. More cars may be added if the service proves to be a success. The rate is marginally lower than the normal taxi rate in Wuhan: base price of 10 yuan plus 2.4 yuan per kilometer, and 0.3 yuan per minute for time spend waiting. The power train consists of a range-extending 1.0 four-cylinder petrol engine with 41hp. The engine powers the generator for the electric motor, which has an output of 60hp. The petrol engine does not send power directly to the wheels. Maximum speed is 150 kilometer per hour. Range on pure electric power is 80 kilometer. Range with range extender is 600 kilometer. Charging the battery takes six hours.

]
The two-wheeler division of Japanese automaker Honda has reportedly been
performing exceptionally well in the Indian market for a couple of years now
and its strategic prowess is among the primary reasons for the same. One
thing that Honda has done brilliantly well while strategizing is entering
the right segment at the right time. Now, according to a recent report by
sources states that the firm is set to enter the electric scooter segment
and has been developing a model based on the popular Metropolitan scooter.
Metropolitan is a two-wheeler sold in several international markets and has
done remarkably well over the years. The patent design of the scooter being
developed by Honda is the only thing available at the moment and no
specifics have been mentioned by Honda. However, Honda has pretty firm plans
of making this segment its own in the Indian market and it made the
announcement clearly in a recent press conference. Sources claim that this
model is likely to be showcased at the 2016 Auto Expo, which will be held in
India.
The electric scooter segment is not really popular in the Indian market at
present with Hero MotoCorp leading the segment. However, with Honda’s entry
in the segment, things could become really interesting if the right models
are introduced at good prices.

motor system for electric vehicles” that transmits power wirelessly to run
motors attached with each wheel.
The new system transmits electricity from an onboard power source to a coil
attached to the wheel hubs without wires.
The researchers say the system wirelessly transmits electricity stored in
the vehicle’s batteries over a distance of 10 centimetres. Power from the
batteries is passed to a transmitting coil from where it is transmitted over
the 10-cm distance to a receiving coil attached to the wheel hub.
“This technology will pave the way for the development of electric vehicles
that receive electricity wirelessly from transmitting coils embedded under
road surfaces. It can be also applied to fuel-cell vehicles and industrial
machinery,” Japanese newspaper Asahi Shimbun has quoted Hiroshi Fujimoto, an
associate professor at the University of Tokyo specializing in electric
vehicle control, as saying.
According to the researchers, the in-wheel motor, also known as wheel hub
motor, is an electric motor incorporated into the hub of a vehicle’s wheels
to directly drive each wheel.
The technology does away with the need for a drive shaft, which is part of
conventional electric vehicles and mechanically transfers energy to all the
wheels and drives them.
The new technology could help build lighter vehicles that require less
energy. It should also allow greater control on acceleration and braking,
and mitigates the risk of skidding.
Current cars that employ in-wheel motors depend on wires to transmit
electricity and the complex wiring distribution combined with susceptibility
to short circuits have hindered development of such a vehicle for practical
purposes.
The researchers have also succeeded in running a motor using 3 kilowatts of
electricity and sent control information to each wheel using standardized
Bluetooth wireless technology.
And the researchers say the prototype rear-wheel-drive car they have
developed can, in theory, run at 75kmph.

[EVDL] Comuta-Car PbSO4 batteries
[ref
http://electric-vehicle-discussion-list.413529.n4.nabble.com/GC-batteries-tp4675848.html
GC batteries
]
Following Gail's request to not consider li-ion and only purchase PbSO4
prices of T-15 equivalent batteries depend on where you are. The web still
states Gail is in Las Vegas, NV
I'll assume the L1 charger that Commuta-Car has is designed set to safely
charge a 48VDC PbSO4 pack of T-105 group 24 size 100 to 120 minute @75A
batteries.
Which batteries the new owner buys will depend on their priorities, but just
as Lee had posted, you get what you pay for:
-if the new owner is on a steep EV learning curve, it might be better to go
with the cheapo Sam's batteries. But know that what ever blems/duds Sam's
sells, you (Gail) are going to be called upon for help.
With that in mind, I would opt for a better 'known-good' battery to have
less problems the owner would call you on: Trojan the best and most costly,
USBattery next level down ... (a lot of other brands in-between), to the
ones being dumped by Sam's (there is likely a good reason they are cheap).
Below I give the detail and local Las Vegas distributor contact
detail/method of a few brands (best to worst). At the end I added a couple
of links I hope will be also helpful.
If I (an experienced EV driver of over 15 years) knew I was going to
regularly use that EV, I would go for the USBattery as I have found using
them over many years of pack changes, theirs is the 'best-bang-for-the-buck'
(of course I am also the type that would modify the EV to be able to access
the public L2 6kW EVSE around Las Vegas, but that is just me).
One other point: For battery distributors, what model they sell the most of
is the one they can give the best price-to-capacity break on. Meaning, if
you ask the prices of each model when buying 6, and then divide the
actual-total-price to that model's capacity, you will see what kind of deal
you are getting Example if they sell large quantities of their US 2200 to
the local golf clubs around Las Vegas, it is likely the price break the
distributors gets will be passed along to the buyer.

Re: [EVDL] GC batteries
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 I had Sams Club batteries in my S10 EV (20 of them) for my first pack. They were Energizer EGC2 batteries. (The cost was around $1700 5-6 years ago.) They lasted 2 years with good service, and I eked out another 3/4 of a year with reduced range/capacity before replacing them. (686 charge cycles total.) You can read more about it here: http://www.summet.com/blog/2013/11/24/electric-pickup-truck-cost-of-ownership/ And here: http://www.summet.com/blog/2013/07/26/electric-truck-battery-pack-status-report/ I don't think that I badly mistreated them, but I didn't baby them either. I have replaced them with Interstate GC batteries for my 2nd pack (cost of ~ $2200, and so far I haven't seen anything that makes me think the Interstate batteries are going to last a lot longer than the Sams club batteries did. [I have already had to replace one that was way under-performing the rest of the pack, but luckily I had a spare of about the same age as the pack ready to go as part of my home UPS...] So is the extra $500 for a name brand source worth it? PerhapsI'll know for sure in a year. For me, it was worth it, because the Interstate dealer is about 2 miles from my house, while the nearest Sams club that sells GC batteries is outside of the range of my electric pickup. When you only need six of them, I'd say drive to Sams club and get them, at least for your first pack. Just make sure that all six batteries are matched (have the same date code stamped into the plastic, and measure very close to the same voltage.)

Re: [EVDL] EVLN: Power transmitted wirelessly to run 4 In-Wheel e-Motors
As has been discussed many times, the real problem with in-wheel motors
is the additional unsprung weight. This is design is interesting in
that it would reduce that weight. Would it be enough? A coil of wire
around the wheel still would add quite a bit of weight. Removing the
axle would compensate that a little bit.
All together this sounds like a pancake style motor with a 10cm gap.
Since the stator would be fixed, it seems there would be a lot of
misalignment happening while driving on a bumpy road - possibly vertical
travel of, what, 10-20cm - resulting in reduced power? Maybe that's
good - it forces you to slow down on bumpy roads :)

Re: [EVDL] Design News: Why Aren't Electrical Cars Sales Better? It's the battery.
This will depend on what type of speedometer you have. I am starting to replace the analog instruments with digital. The new digital has a external control where you can reset the mileage to any thing you want. Also you can have it only monitor ON MOTOR TIME, meaning only display the miles that the motor is under power using energy the same as a ENGINE RUN TIME that is using gasoline. Does not monitor the miles during COAST RUN TIME. This is a simple control circuit by installing a micro on the accelerator control. I also have separate instruments that monitor the ON MOTOR TIME, COAST RUN TIME, and AWAY TIME from home. If you towing a vehicle that is displaying increase mileage on a odometer with out any energy input, this should not be tax. Also no federal and state tax on private roads.

The new digital has a external control where you can reset the mileage to any thing you want. Yes, and what % of vehicle drivers can/will do that? (Likely, FAR fewer than there are EV drivers.) If you towing a vehicle that is displaying increase mileage on a odometer with out any energy input, this should not be tax. Not many cars do that, and even then, it would be a tiny % of your miles. (unless your car is a real lemon.) Also no federal and state tax on private roads. So, you are buying Gas that doesn't have Road Tax for your private road driving?

Re: [EVDL] Design News: Why Aren't Electrical Cars SalesBetter? It's the battery.
That's correct. Also to roll back the mileage, this has to be done legally by having the vehicle inspected during each design change. If you done a conversion that cost more than 50 percent of the value of the vehicle, you can retitle and rename the maker of the vehicle and the model of the vehicle. This takes a stage 1 and a stage 2 inspection to verified the cost of the conversion. If the conversion is approved, than you get a secondary VIN number for your vehicle. This method is normally done for classics and hot rods that have been modified. I am now making another modification, which includes battery change, frame cross member change, air suspension, auto/manual transmission that matches the torque/rpm of the motor at every shift point and on dash digital display computer systems that displays all systems.
