Our Prototypes column introduces new vehicle concepts and presents visuals
from designers who illustrate the ideas. Some of them will be extensions of
existing concepts, others will be new, some will be production ready, and
others really far-fetched.

The concept
The MUJIN is a futuristic electric stroller concept which requires no
driver. MUJIN would be similar to the current strollers parents use in North
America, but adapted to follow them when they travel by foot in the
neighbourhood. Each MUJIN would be paired with its baby and parent, and it
would only follow orders given by the parents to assist them all day in
taking a little extra care of their baby.

The background
Today’s strollers haven’t evolved much. Parents everywhere know the hassle
of either bending over a stroller or accidentally kicking the wheels while
they walk or jog. You have to hold onto it all the time, so if you want to
walk the dog or help another child while you’re walking with the stroller,
it can get tricky.

Why not use new technologies to improve strollers and ease the daily lives
of millions of parents? Using a machine with babies is always a challenge
for engineers, but I am sure a safe electric stroller could be developed. I
asked Xavier Gordillo to conceptualise this idea by taking inspiration from
the robotic wheelchair invented by Dean Kamen, which can also climb stairs.

How it works
Ion lithium batteries would power the Mujïn, delivering power to its four
wheels. It would have four-wheel-drive for extra traction and safety, and a
foldable roof/shade screen made of flexible solar panels could help charge
the batteries. The Mujïn could also save up to 25 per cent of its energy by
using regenerative braking.

This autonomous stroller would feature a driverless system that would ride
at low speeds and stay just behind or just ahead of the parent, based on
their preferences. It would work similarly to the Volkswagen stroller
prototype. The Mujïn would be equipped with cameras, warning systems, and a
lot of back-up safety measures. It could also be driven by an adult in
manual mode.

The stair climbing system would need to be developed further. We thought
about using a system similar to the Ibot wheelchair and having the wheels
rotate going upstairs or downstairs. The trick is to maintain balance at all
times. Parents will probably want to keep their hands on the Mujïn while
it’s climbing or descending stairs but the Mujïn could accomplish this on
it’s own too. It would also be possible to use the Mujïn like a conventional
stroller.

What it’s used for
The Mujïn would obviously serve to carry your baby around anytime during the
day. The vehicle could feature music, a wireless or Bluetooth camera system,
a vibration mode to soothe the baby, and even a way to gently heat the crib
or cool it down. Finally, the Mujïn could also be used to transport other
items like groceries or shopping bags.

The designer
I would like to thank Xavier Gordillo who created the images of the MUJIN
concept. Gordillo lives near Blansko, Czech Republic. He studied Car Design
at the Europe Design Institute (IED), and he works as a Freelance Industrial
Designer. He also created the images of the Pixi transparent bus and the
Gemini twin deck bus.

2015 Renovo Coupe - Front Three Quarters (view)
]

Renovo Motors’s Renovo Coupe appeared a few weeks ago at the Mazda Raceway
Laguna Seca.

An advanced prototype of “the first the all-electric American supercar” was
tested during a Founders Drive event.

“Event organizer, investor and technology veteran Joshua Schachter
invited Renovo to demonstrate the Coupe prototype, which took the track
alongside an impressive number of exotic vehicles from around the world. The
event focused on bringing together people who share passion for both cars
and innovation, offered a rare glimpse into the Coupe’s development program
and a chance to interact with the Renovo team during live track sessions.
Renovo’s participation in the event was not announced before Sunday
morning.”

Mr. Schachter commented:

“Our event is about connecting entrepreneurs through a love of cars, and
we’re always looking for ways to challenge and inspire each other. We try to
break down stereotypes about track driving, and an EV that can hang with gas
supercars at Laguna Seca is certainly a surprise to a lot of people. I’m
really glad the Renovo team was able to participate this weekend, and I know
the paddock thoroughly enjoyed it too.”

For Renovo, it was good oportunity not only to test the car (no times were
released), but also to seek investors, we believe.

There is no indication when we can expect the production version and first
deliveries, but Christopher Heiser, CEO of Renovo Motors, seems positive
about the developments:

“The Coupe, Renovo’s debut offering, embodies the company’s commitment
to maximum performance on the street and track. Sunday’s test focused on
benchmarking energy consumption and profiling baseline performance at the
iconic 2.238-mile track, which offers unique topography including the high
vertical loading of Turn 8, nicknamed “The Corkscrew.” On display was
Renovo’s state-of-the-art vehicle technology including a powertrain
delivering more than 1,000 foot-pounds of torque. With a 0-60 MPH time of
less than 3.4 seconds, the Coupe is the quickest production rear-wheel drive
electric vehicle in the world.”

Christopher Heiser, CEO of Renovo Motors said:

“An incredible thank you goes out to Joshua and his team for inviting us
to test the Coupe at this special event. Since its introduction last year at
Pebble Beach, the Coupe has set new standards in vehicle performance and
engineering. Our team has spent countless hours refining its capabilities,
and the test this past weekend is a great way for us to share our work. This
shakedown run for us focused on validating some new systems and gathering
detailed telemetry from the nearly 1,000 sensors on the car. Even running at
70% pace, the Coupe was very settled, very fast and continues to exceed our
expectations.”

[EVDL] EVLN: Old Top Gear Misled The World On An American Performance EV

4 Ways Top Gear Misled The World On American Performance Cars
[20151012]  Christopher Smith

(Tesla Roadster EV)
]

The boys are brilliant in their passion for cars, but they don’t always tell
the whole story. Here are a few points on American cars that need to be set
right! 

It wasn’t until the eighth or ninth series that I started watching what’s
now known as New Old Top Gear. Back in those days, getting full episodes in
America wasn’t necessarily easy, but as a devoted petrolhead I’ll just say I
found a way. At that point I’d already had a few cheap car experiences of my
own, so watching a show with three blokes cocking about with cars in a
similar manner as me (albeit with a MUCH larger budget) was sheer pleasure.

As a budding auto journalist with a strong automotive background, I also
learned that the boys tended to stretch the truth from time to time. Hey,
that’s okay; it’s a television show designed to entertain. But there were
also moments - primarily during road tests - where that hyperbole was
stretched to the limit in a way that might not be so obvious to casual
viewers. Admittedly I have some bias to U.S. manufacturers, just as
Clarkson, May and Hammond have bias to British brands.

It’s that bias which compels me to help clear the air on a few moments in
New Old Top Gear where the trio weren’t entirely forthcoming in regards to
some American car reviews. Informed car enthusiasts like you will likely
recognise what I’m saying, but for the non-car lovers, here’s a bit more
insight into a few moments that, while entertaining for the presenters,
created all kinds of frustration for American auto enthusiasts ...

2. The Tesla Roadster 'will run out of power after 55 miles'

Here’s an instance where stretching the truth for entertainment purposes
actually led to a formal lawsuit. Most people recall Clarkson’s review of
the Tesla Roadster, notably that both test cars broke down and that they
would run out of power after 55 miles, as opposed to Tesla’s claimed range
of over 200 miles. Ultimately the lawsuit was dismissed in Top Gear’s favour
because their conclusions were technically correct; under continual racing
conditions the Tesla would run out of power much more quickly. Obviously.

However, since nobody would be running a Tesla under continual racing
conditions, why make such a big deal out of the shortened range? If you run
a 2013 Porsche 911 turbo under continual racing conditions, it certainly
won’t achieve anywhere near its combined rating of 19 US mpg. And yet, in
the many Porsche reviews through the years, that subject never came up.

Obviously the takeaway is that Top Gear doesn’t like electric cars, and hey,
there’s nothing wrong with that. Personally, I’m not a fan, either; they’re
too heavy, too quiet, they take far too long to recharge, and the reliable
range varies far too much on how you drive. The technology is improving, but
it just doesn’t make sense yet as a performance car.

Had Clarkson simply said these things, then no harm no foul. Instead, the
crew resorted to some very questionable editing, and if you believe Tesla,
flat-out lies to paint a very bad picture of a car that is really quite
brilliant. Is it perfect? Certainly not, but neither is it the disaster that
Top Gear tried to make it out to be. Even for an entertaining motoring show,
they crossed the line in their attempt to be witty ...

Hungry? China's food delivery apps bite into Yum revival

Taking a bite out of fast food: An Ele.me food delivery courier on his
electric bicycle along a street in Shanghai, China. A slowing economy and a
rise in food delivery apps are putting the squeeze on fast food chains like
Yum Brands Inc's KFC and Pizza Hut in China.
]


SHANGHAI: As China's economy stutters, growing numbers of diners on a budget
are tapping into smartphone applications to snap up meal delivery deals,
spelling big trouble for fast food chains like Yum Brands Inc's KFC and
Pizza Hut. 

People like Li Jiali, a 20-year-old Shanghai student, say they have all the
dining options they need nestling in their phones, without needing to
venture out of the house ...

Li's Huawei smartphone is packed with cut-price food delivery apps from some
of China's biggest Internet firms, like Baidu Inc's Waimai, Alibaba-linked
Meituan and Tencent-backed Ele.me – meaning "Hungry?". These allow thousands
of mom-and-pop restaurants to lure diners previously beyond their marketing
reach. 

"On my phone I have Meituan, Baidu and Ele.me, and I use whichever one has
the biggest discount," Li said. Baidu's platform is currently offering the
best deals at around 40% off, she said, evidence of a price war raging
online. 

Yum this week pointed the finger at a "savage battle" under way between apps
... whipsawed by food safety scandals and marketing missteps over the last
few years ...

Levelling out ...
"Apps like this level the playing field so that every venue has its virtual
spot that's equal," said Stone Shi, Shanghai-based founder and chief
executive of restaurant search platform Bon App. 

"It used to about being a household name in one sector – pizza, pasta, fast
food etcetera. Now people want to see what else is out there." ... 

"(Chinese) consumers now really watch what they are spending," said Edward
Jones senior analyst Jack Russo ... online apps will continue to cause a
drag in the market ...

"These guys are only going to get busier in a down market."

Either he wasn’t stepping on the accelerator, or his pursuers were
world-beating sprinters.

The 21-year-old driver of a Tesla Model S is paying the price for honking at
people trying to cross the street, Apple Daily reported Sunday.

The tattooed man was driving the expensive electric sports sedan near the
intersection of Portland Street and Soy Street in Mong Kok at about 1 a.m.
Saturday.

Several men, reportedly of South Asian origin, were about to cross the road.

The motorist blew his horn at them, which appeared to anger the group.

The men chased the car and dented its rear with rubber sticks and steel
objects.

Patrolling police officers spotted the attack and later arrested an
18-year-old suspect.

The Tesla driver declined to press charges.

He said he will pay the repair cost, estimated to be several thousand Hong
Kong dollars.

The electric car costs between HK$600,000 (US$77,400) and HK$850,000.

It takes a little over three seconds to accelerate from zero to 100 km/h.

[EVDL] VW responds to diesel scandal, says “the future is electric” | Ars Technica

2015-10-15 Thread Ben Goren via EV
If this is to be believed...it could be absolutely huge! Anybody here have any 
further information and / or insight?

http://arstechnica.com/cars/2015/10/vw-responds-to-diesel-scandal-says-the-future-is-electric/

If it turns out the way I'm sure all us here would hope it would, those "rogue 
engineers" would be deserving of a Peace Prize.

(And I guarantee you, the engineers did not take it upon themselves to do this 
sort of thing...at the very least, management made plain that they didn't give 
a damn how the tests were passed and the engineers would be out of work if the 
tests weren't passed. If you ever find yourself in a similar position, quit 
then and there, because you can be sure that management is setting you up to 
take the fall.)

[EVDL] Emotorworks (Juicebox) lack of customer support

2015-10-15 Thread Ken Olum via EV
At the end of June I bought the JuiceBox 40 Pro EVSE from Emotorwerks.
I paid $600, and I think that's enough that I'm entitled to a little
customer support.  But I've 4 sent requests to their support address and
never received a satisfactory answer.  In some cases I got a reply, but
the reply was "so-and-so is the expert on this and will get back to you
and answer your question" and then I never heard from so-and-so.

Before sending this message, I complained to them about the fact that I
wasn't getting any support, and that complaint also went unanswered.

So, at this point, I feel I should warn other EV drivers not to buy from
Emotorwerks if you want to be able to ask any questions or get any help
with your equipment.  I'm sorry to do it.  I thought this was a
promising company with an interesting piece of equipment at an
attractive price.

They are very proud of the fact that it's open source.  Anyone know
where to find the source?  I guess I should read it if I ever want to
get an answer to my main question, which is "How does the unit manage
the charging current limit in cases where the connection to
Emotorwerks's servers is not completely reliable?"

Re: [EVDL] VW responds to diesel scandal, says “the future is electric” | Ars Technica

2015-10-15 Thread brucedp5 via EV
I have a queued post on this I completed, coming soon. 
BTW, while the e-Golf is nice, and its drivers like their EV, VW has always
been an EV talker, but an ice walker/do'er. 

Ice issues are not really a evdl charter item and may be consider OT. 
But I was thinking, there could be a lot of diesel ice coming available for
conversion because of VW's cheat.

I have several different interesting topics to be posted. 
I had seen a slow down on some EV maker's PR, and I was concerned that it
was just their way of holding back until the U.S. elections are over, and
the new year when automakers will need carbon credits again to sell ice.

But several automakers that were on the fence are now committing to
electrified model line up with an EV model (things are changing, for the
better, and I am glad my fears were wrong). Was it the VW debacle that got
everyone going on electrification? Maybe. 
I am just glad we are moving in the less-petroleum-based-chemical-fuel
direction ...

Re: [EVDL] [SPAM?] Re: EVLN: Renovo demos Coupe EV RWD prototype @Laguna_Seca-CA 0-60mph:3.4s

2015-10-15 Thread Mike Nickerson via EV
I think the key word in that sentence is "rear-wheel".  Technically, the P90D 
with its 0-60 time of 2.8 seconds is all wheel drive.  The P85 is rear-wheel 
drive, but it's 0-60 time is 4.2 seconds.

A little weasely, but the statement is technically true.
