Genovation, an engineering skunkworks based in Rockville, Maryland, is
almost ready to show its Corvette-based electric sports car. The company has
confirmed the debut will take place next month at the 2018 Consumer
Electronics Show [
https://www.ces.tech/
].

Called the Genovation Extreme Electric (GXE), the car in prototype form hit
a top speed of 209 mph during testing back in February [
https://www.motorauthority.com/news/1109077_electric-corvette-reaches-209-mph-sets-new-standing-mile-speed-record
]. It also hit a standing mile record speed for electric cars of 190.4 mph.

While the prototype was based on a C6 Corvette Z06, the production GXE will
actually use C7 Corvette Grand Sport as its donor. The car will also feature
some unique visual treatments to ensure it stands out. You’ll notice the
revised front bumper and round taillights. Genovation says it chose the
Corvette as the donor due to the lightweight frame but also as a nod to
American engineering.

The company plans to build just 75 GXEs in total, each priced from $750,000.
That’s certainly steep but if you want similar performance from an electric
car you’re going to have to step up to the million-dollar-plus Rimac
Concept_One.

Power in the GXE comes from two electric motors delivering a peak 800
horsepower and 700 pound-feet of torque. The motors are positioned at either
end of the car to create a 50:50 weight distribution, and uniquely they send
their drive to the rear wheels only. Yes, they power a common shaft. Also
unique as far as electric cars are concerned is the availability of 7-speed
manual transmission. An automatic is standard.

Performance claims for the GXE include a 0-60 mph time of less than 3.0
seconds and a top speed of over 220 mph.

Genovation isn’t providing details on the battery though we know it will
have a 60-kilowatt-hour capacity. We also know the car will be fitted with
carbon fiber wheels.

Genovation plans to start deliveries of the GXE in 2019. With the money
raised, the company plans to develop a more affordable electric sports car
dubbed the G2.

The Consumer Electronics Show kicks off on January 9 ...

My Year of Living Electrically (Chevy Bolt Review)

(Stone's bolt)
]

The afternoon of December 30, 2016, was a rainy one in Southern California.
I remember when we used to have those. It was also the day I drove a Bolt EV
off the lot of my local Chevrolet dealership. It was the very first one they
sold.

This week marks an elapsed year after taking this plunge. Anniversaries can
be arbitrary and forgettable dates, unless you are married. Yet a full year
seems as good a time as any to pause for a bit of reflection, to ask myself
how this purchase has worked out.

My driving case isn’t typical. I work at home and don’t otherwise place
heavy demands on a car, so the 6,400 miles I’ve put on the odometer during
the past year is less than many drive their cars in just a few months. What
I’ve found to be more unusual, though, is that I am otherwise in Chevrolet’s
target market. That is, I was a first-time EV buyer.

My unscientific conclusion based on conversations with other Bolt owners
over the last year is that a large number (if not a majority) of Bolt buyers
in its first model year were previous EV owners who already knew their way
around this type of car. They were drumming their steering wheels
impatiently waiting for a reasonably priced EV with a useful range.

I had no such basis for comparison. I was ready for the technology, but my
criteria were entirely about whether the car would meet my daily driving
needs without disruptions. Mainly, I was seeking a smooth transition from
hydrocarbons to electrons.

The purchase itself was a total leap of faith. When I placed the order over
a year ago, few outside of auto enthusiast magazines had even set eyes on
the car. This is not normally how I buy cars, an event that comes up about
once a decade. I buy to keep, so I try to find a way to rent my keeper
beforehand. That wasn’t an option with the Bolt.

I’d also never owned a GM product, so this too created some anxiety. I would
have to base my decision on nothing more than reading, and a test drive when
the car arrived at the dealership. Fortunately, it was generous. The sales
staff was equally curious about the car. I took a deep breath, and wrote the
check.

We have another car in our household well-suited for long trips, so I
decided from the outset to not push the Bolt until I felt totally
comfortable making round trips well within its rated range. While I can
certainly admire those brave EV warriors who plan long cross-countries in
their Bolts, folding in all those charging stops, that isn’t me, at least
not yet. A year in, and I still haven’t charged the car outside of my own
garage.

And to be honest, I am astounded by the stories I hear from owners who drive
their Bolts down to the electron equivalent of fumes. That isn’t me, either.
I don’t need the stress, unplanned hunts for chargers, or any related
freak-outs coming from the passenger seat. They would definitely violate my
smooth transition directive.

As planned, I’ve stepped out gradually. After completing my first drive to
Dodger Stadium in the spring (around 130 miles from home, roundtrip), I felt
a bit like Lindbergh landing in Paris. If the EV veterans out there are
laughing right now, I understand. The point is, for an EV noob, the first
drive of any real length without a petroleum safety net is a genuine
adventure.

I made that trip many more times during the year, each more routine than the
one before. On picking up friends on the way to a ballgame in midsummer, I
received a polite inquiry: could the car really make it there and back?
Being able to answer “yes” with total confidence was no small thing. Longer
trips are coming, I have little doubt, but only because these intermediate
drives were so informative.

I won’t tick down the list of the car’s quirks. Every car has them — the
Bolt perhaps a few more than most. Chevy made a compromise here or there
that we all wish they would have avoided. They are already much discussed
and debated. Suffice to say, I can live with them.

The anniversary question is whether my gamble on the Bolt paid off. I’d like
to think it has, for both me and Chevy. Overall, I’ve been successfully
introduced to EVs. And while my comfort level has grown, I still feel like I
am driving the future. Electric motor propulsion is so clearly superior, I
cannot imagine going back to the old way, which now feels primitive, like
banging rocks together.

If selling that concept to people like me was the plan, then Chevy hit the
target, with bonus points. With each passing day, I picture myself less like
an explorer hacking his way through the jungle looking for civilization. I
feel like I’ve already found it.

I feel like an EV driver for life.

Re: [EVDL] Good News: EVs Are Not Crashing the Grid

2018-01-01 Thread Bill Dube via EV
I agree with Tom. As EV are slowly adopted, the grid will find ways to 
adapt. Always will and always has.


My state electric utility has asked customers to volunteer (with a nice 
cash incentive) to put "black boxes" on their air conditioning loads and 
electric water heaters.
The boxes turn off these loads, under the command of the utility, for a 
few minutes during peak load periods.
With the thermal inertia, you never notice your A/C was off for a few 
extra minutes.

Shaves the tops right off the peak loads on the grid quite nicely.
Little black boxes under remote control are the cheap solution. Everyone 
wins.


I would imagine that when EV charging loads become significant, they 
will do the same thing. It would be stupid not to.
Only makes sense. Costs very little and you leave the grid pretty much 
the same.
Utilities love it. You sell more kWhrs using the identical generation 
and distribution equipment. No upgrades whatsoever.
Only folks that volunteer have to do it, and save a bit of money. 
Everyone wins.

Simple simple. What's not to like?

The "grid overload" is simply a scare tactic campaign paid for by folks 
that will stand to lose by adoption of EVs. (Koch brothers?)

Peri & All,

I recall addressing this fear about a decade ago when it the fear was being
pushed by mainstream media.
The reality is no different than events that have occurred many times since
the inception of the electrical grid. It is interesting that the utilities
seem to do their best to avoid this conversation.
Some that we might recall were the fears about every house having a
refrigerator and washing machine, then it was the clothes dryer, followed
by microwave ovens & hand held appliances and the hot tub craze, followed
by the air conditioner installations. The air conditioners do have a
noticeable effect on the grid due to a few factors (1. Grid already
stressed due to over heating. 2. Large numbers in a region using the device
at the same time (large, continuous inrush currents). 3. Extended periods
of load for each device (in excess of 4 hours each).)
The previous example share the relatively short, staggered inrush current
events, followed by lower power demands, which are barely noticeable,
according to the utilities themselves, since most L2 units use the same
amount of power per use as the average clothes dryer.

I have ad heat issues with my motors, likely from the continuous loads from
pushing the blower through deep snow.   An ammeter and digital thermostat
proved it- I would pull 100 amps continuous with peaks to 300 amps going up
our big hill.  You would think the motor would stay cool in -10 and the
occasional snow pile hitting it when backing up but the temps would hit
over 120c on the case  before I started actively cooling it.  As well,
without active cooling those temps would remain high for 2+ hours with the
cart shut down.   Smooth, sealed iron bodied motors that are tucked up
under the seat don't get much cooling.   If you are rolling down streets
without big hills there should be enough time between loading to dissipate
some heat but understand the heat takes a long to time to fade.  High
gearing and extra passengers will increase those temps.

Would love to see that setup!  I have two diffs and more than two motors in
parts..  I also have another MARS ME1003 I have been gearing up, have the
coupler made just need to finish the adapter mount.  It's an aluminum
bodied, open with an internal fan motor, much better cooling ability and
power output.
Does anyone know how much the dana/ spicer diffs can handle?  I can limit
the current at the controller so it doesn't grenade immediately.

I picked another golf cart this summer (defunct EGT electric) that has a
Curtis controller and a Hall pickup on the Sepex motor.  The controller
limits the current based on the hall pickup speed.

I think we can help you there. Controlling a Sepex motor is almost as

I agree. My ComutaVan, and my LeCar both had 6.7" motors. I never had a 
bit of trouble with them failing or overheating. Of course, I live in 
Minnesota. But you can easily add an external blower for cooling.


You might also try Bob Rice's solution. He used *two* golf cart motors, 
one per wheel. He switched them in series/parallel, to effectively have 
a 2-speed transmission. It also eliminated the differential.



I'm planning a very low drag  EV, 60-80wthr/mile so even at 50mph if

You can also tweak the ratio with tire size, as you said.

Yes, that's what I did for my very first EV. It was a 1974 Datsun 
pickup, with 72v of golf cart batteries in the bed, and a surplus 30v 
500a aircraft generator for a motor. This is in effect a sepex motor.


My homemade controller used a big rheostat to control the field current. 
It was connected to the accelerator pedal. The armature was powered by a 
contactor controller, which could apply 36v or 72, with or without a 
series starting resistor.


It's important to wire it so you can't apply power to the armature 
unless there is field current. In my case, I had a relay coil in series 
with the field that had to be pulled in to enable power for the armature 
controller's contactors. If I dig around a bit, I can probably find my 
old controller schematic.


It was a very drive-able setup. Good speed control, smooth 
accelleration, and very strong regenerative braking. However, it was 
quite unlike any normal car's throttle response. The accellerator pedal 
behaved more like a cruise control; moving it caused the motor to try 
very hard to move to the new speed. In particular, removing your foot 
from the accellerator pedal commanded *full regen*, which would lock the 
tires on anything but dry pavement.

That does sound challenging. I wonder if it might be easier to build the 
trailer so you back the Bolt into it with its rear wheels inside the 
trailer (not on the ground). Then lock the Car in place. Remove the back 
tires from the car for ground clearance, and so it still sits level to 
have proper front wheel alignment. Now you have a 4-wheel motor home. :-)


Still a lot of work.

I've thought about this sort of thing, too. I think a better approach 
would be the one that Dave Peterson used to build the Ultravan motor 
home. He was an aircraft designer, so he built his motor home out of 
sheet aluminum, riveted together. It looked like the fuselage of an 
airplane; very light and streamlined. Then he removed the drive train 
from a Chevy Corvair, and mounted them in the Ultravan. The end result 
was an aerodynamic 22' motor home that weighed about the same and got 
the same gas mileage as the Corvair donor car.


http://www.corvair.org/chapters/ultravan/

Do the same sort of thing, but use a Bolt or your favorite car as a donor.

for the BOLT.

I want to add a complex sliding panel system to streamline the car with the
trailer so that they become one for aerodynimics, but can make a reasonable
turn and handle dips in the road too.

By eliminating most of the aerodynamic trailer drag at the discontinuity
between car and trailer and letting the end of the trailer end in a
teardrop I think a very significant decrease in aerodynamic load can be
achieved.

I am sure that no one can build these commercially because there are surely
all kinds of standards and requirements that simply do not allow it.

But a home built can probably get away with it most of the time.

Anyway, something to think about someday.

I have 2 sepex vehicles.

A circuit diagram might be clearer, but hopefully words work OK:

On my tractor:

Keyswitch turns on field relay

field relay hooks up field to a 12V battery

The field lead is wrapped around a proximity reed switch (used in alarm 
systems to see if a door or window is closed, the switch changes state when 
a magnet gets close enough to it). The wraps of wire provide the "magnet" to 
close the reed switch.

Current in the field closes the proximity reed switch

The proximity reed switch turns on a contactor relay that feeds the armature 
through a big, high power current limiting resistor

The proximity reed switch also feeds a delay relay

After about 1 second the delay relay feeds a contactor that shorts the 
current limiting resistor

Don't forget to put a big diode on the field, otherwise you'll get a big arc 
when you shut off.

It is amazingly smooth, I can start in gear and the tractor takes off very 
smoothly. Idle RPM is about 3600 rpm. I get regen down hills. The tractor 
has a variable speed transmission so I don't need to change motor speed. If 
I did, I would put in a welder rheostat in series with the field.

I also have a car with a sepex. It has a Kelly 144V sepex controller. The 
controller needs to have been ordered with the appropriate current range for 
your field. My first motor had low field resistance, the Kelly worked well 
for that. For my new higher resistance field motor, I can't get the Kelly 
field current to go low enough, so I have to run in "Voltage Mode" for the 
field, which means no field weakening. It still works pretty well, but that 
cuts off my higher RPM. If I could get to the field current sense resistor I 
could fool it to work at lower field current (it's potted, I'm reluctant to 
remove the potting compound).

Hey Jerry

I would give Carl over at Evdrives a call, he should be able to recommend
something cost effective.  I have a couple 96 ezgos that I fixed one up for
my pig.  Originally one came with an aftermarket 36/48 Alltrax controller
which was running at 36v.  I replaced the dead batteries with a 48v pack,
motor had no issues running at that voltage but the used controller failed
within a couple months.  I replaced it with an Alltrax series controller
and D motor.  Shunt controllers are usually more expensive then series
controllers.  The EZGO TXT I have has a Spicer diff as well, not sure of
the exact ratios, you can get high speed gear sets but they are pricey
IMO.  The bolt pattern on my spicer axles is 4 x100 so larger rims from an
ATV or Civic would also give you more distance per turn.  Watch how much
load you put on those sealed motors, most are Iron cased and dissipate heat
poorly.  I have a thermostat and fan on mine now.

Cheers
Dan

]

It might not be the first thing crossing your mind when you hear more and
more Model 3s are finding their way to their new owners and onto the roads,
but this also means the likelihood of Tesla's latest sedan being involved in
a crash is significantly increasing.

The crashworthiness of Tesla vehicles is notorious, with the Model X
recently becoming the safest SUV out there and the second safest vehicle
behind only the Model S, which means the Model 3 should also become the
leader in its segment. But until we get the official ratings from NHTSA,
IIHS or EuroNCAP, we have to rely on the misfortune of the early owners to
gauge just how sturdy the electric sedan is.

Apparently, with only a few hundreds of Model 3s on the roads, we already
have at least two incidents to base our preliminary conclusions on. The
first comes from "Model3guy" on Instagram who was kind enough to share his
experience despite the fact he risked getting lectured by those people who
always know better and who seem to own the Internet.

He doesn't go into too many details, but we think the pictures tell a
thousand words. We can see the road covered in fresh snow, the Model 3
wearing snow chains on its rear wheels alone and the front planted into the
rocks on the side. You don't have to be Sherlock Holmes to realize what went
on. A set of winter tires would have probably spared Model3guy from his
troubles, but you live, you learn. Talk about online guys who know
everything...

News of the second incident came via Twitter, but this one is a lot more
enigmatic. The claim is that the Model 3 hit a "good-sized" deer (whatever
that is) at 45 mph (72 km/h), and the user called "Happy Chair" also
included a picture of the aftermath. However, the car seems to be perfectly
intact, so unless he did it while reversing, we find it hard to believe that
it didn't leave a more pronounced mark.

Either the deer wasn't "good-sized" or the speed wasn't 45 mph, but
something most definitely has to give. Or maybe this was just a veiled hint
at the Model 3's duck-faced design that looks as though it's been involved
in a deer collision?

One of the many benefits of battery-powered cars is the incredible torque
and acceleration an electric motor can generate. It’s not just a feature
exclusive to Teslas; you can actually upgrade almost any electric vehicle
with equally ridiculous acceleration—even a mobility scooter.

There’s not a lot of details about how this upgrade was performed, but you
can assume that, in addition to a bigger battery and beefier motor, the
scooter’s structural integrity was (hopefully) strengthened so that it
doesn’t just disintegrate at its new top speed of around 62 MPH.
