When the e-Golf first arrived on our shores back in 2014, it was considered
an afterthought especially considering that it arrived during the pinnacle
of Volkswagen's TDI fueled dominance of the green car market. But with this
diesel powered empire toppled by scandal, and a growing field of electric
vehicles entering the marketplace, the e-Golf's role in Volkswagen's arsenal
has become much more important. But can this electrified Golf stand out
against the competition while still retaining the Golf's winning formula?

At first glance, the exterior styling does not scream that your driving an
electric car. In fact, it looks like a run of the mill Volkswagen Golf,
right down to its fake exhaust inlets and hatchback proportions. Wheras
other EV offerings are all about drawing attention to their owner, the VW is
all about fitting in, and that may please buyers that prefer a more subtle
wrapper for their gas beating purchase. The e-Golf's exclusive touches are
minimal, but blue exterior lighting, blue badging, and model exclusive
16-inch wheels make it standout from the rest of its Golf siblings. A new
front bumper and optional LED headlights also give the e-Golf a more
sophisticated personality and help it stand out in night time driving.

The interior of the e-Golf also takes a conventional route, and like the
exterior, the cabin shares much of its lineage with the standard Golf. A
bigger 8.0 inch infotainment screen has replaced the old 6.5 inch unit, and
we noticed better clarity as well as higher resolution with the new screen.
Our SEL Premium grade tester did not have the optional 12.3 inch Digital
Cockpit instrument package (an optional extra)  but the analog gauges still
looked great, and offered plenty of information as well. Interior materials
were also high quality for the most part, but there were still some obvious
cheap plastics, and we did notice occasional creaks when out and about in
the e-Golf.

The biggest update however is better range and performance, with the 2017
e-Golf now boasting a driving range of 125 miles (a sizable gain from the
old model's paltry 83 miles.) This is mainly due to its bigger battery which
has a 35.8 kilowatt hour capacity, and it benefits from several upgrades
aimed at enhancing electrical efficiency. Our tester had Volkswagen's
standard wall charging system, but while Volkswagen claims that charging the
e-Golf is a relatively easy process, our first attempts did not live up to
this promise, with the fussy e-Golf initially refusing the advances of our
wall outlet. This forced our tester to spend a good portion of the day
plugged into the outlet at my main job (a local bodyshop,) before we were
able to work out the problem (a connection issue,) and get it charged at
home later that evening. Like others of its breed, the e-Golf uses a rear
mounted charging port, which means it needs to be backed up into charging
stations to get charged. This layout also forced us to do some creative
parking in the driveway to help the cord reach into our garage.

Driving the e-Golf around town also revealed another surprise, and that's
how natural it is to experience. Wheras other EVs often come saddled with
spongy brakes, and bland handling traits, the e-Golf is actually a fun car
to drive, with quick handling and responsive braking that defies EV
stereotypes. Acceleration is also brisk with our tester making the sprint to
60 mph in 9.1 seconds, though it feels quicker than that, and we suspect
Volkswagen is hiding a few tenths of a second more in its veiled hat of
tricks. Ride quality was also solid, and it really shows just how much
potential the MQB platform has when it comes to this arena. For those that
want to squeeze even more efficiency out of their e-Golf, the car does come
with two different eco modes, but we advise sticking with normal mode since
both eco modes sap eagerness and responsiveness out of the e-Golf.

Handling in our tester served

The arrival of the first affordable long-range electric car on the market
has naturally led some owners to push the car in a way that they might not
do with a plug-in car offering just 80 miles of battery range.

The 2017 Chevrolet Bolt EV, EPA-rated at 238 miles combined, removes most
daily range anxiety and allows owners to cover predictable commutes for
several days before plugging in, if they choose.

But what about more strenuous usage? Our reader D Gadotti of Western Canada
put a white Bolt EV through its paces in some of the snowiest weather any
electric car may have seen.

What follows are Gadotti's words, lightly edited by Green Car Reports for
clarity and style, and photographs.

Around Christmas, there was a cold snap here in Western Canada, accompanied
by abundant snowfall. I decided to take a break from plowing and shoveling
and go back-country skiing for a couple days at Rogers Pass in Glacier
National Park.

It's a trip of 300 km (186 miles) from my home in the Kootenays to Rogers
Pass, but there are no charging stations there—so I would need enough range
to continue on or return to Revelstoke, a minimum of 370 km (230 mi). 

I was curious to see how my Bolt EV would perform in cold weather. I had
equipped it with the meanest studded winter tires I could find.

So I tossed my warmest sleeping bag on the back bench, put some food and
drink in an insulated chest, loaded my ski equipment ... and off I went.

RANGE
The trip to Rogers Pass is one I could have done on a single charge earlier
in the year.  Throughout the summer and fall, I got more than 400km (250
mi), confirming reports that the EPA range rating of 238 miles (383 km) is
conservative. 

Once I started using the heater to keep the cabin warm and, presumably,
condition the battery, my Bolt’s range dropped alarmingly to around 250 km
(155 mi) or less.  The number varied depending on outside temperature,
desired cabin temperature, and fan speed. 

I truly wish I could read KWh rather than projected range remaining, but
alas Chevy does not provide that information. 

If I don’t have far to go, or if the outside temperature isn't extreme, I’ll
pamper myself and set the car to 21 degrees C (70 deg F), but on this
frigid-weather trip I kept it to a more frugal 17 deg C (63 deg F). 

While rating agencies give “combined” ranges, meaning city and highway
driving—a bad habit inherited from cars with engines—a much more relevant
datum for EVs would be to give ranges in temperate and cold conditions. 

Some of us live where winter takes four months or more of the year.  Knowing
how far our vehicles can take us in winter is a crucial consideration when
buying. 

BATTERY  CONDITIONING IN THE COLD
The morning of December 24, I drove to Rogers Pass, where I got my ski
permit. The car's built-in thermometer showed  -20C (-4F) in the sun. I
planned to spend Christmas Eve at the Asulkan cabin in the back country,
skinning a 900-meter (3,000-foot) elevation gain on my skis. 

Meanwhile, my Bolt EV would be parked in the notoriously shady parking lot,
right where a pocket of cold air often stagnates in that bend in the valley.
I had no idea how cold it would get there overnight. 

When I returned, late in the afternoon of the 25th, the Bolt had been parked
in temperatures below -20C for 30 hours.  It had used up almost 40 km (24
mi) of range to keep its battery conditioned, and had 80 km (48 mi) of range
left, just enough to get back to Revelstoke. 

Good thing that route is mostly downhill.

I was just grateful that the doors opened; I had read horror stories of
owners being locked out when the 12-volt accessory battery failed.

There is a backup way to unlock the car, of course—but the owner's manuals,
both on paper and the electronic version on my tablet, were of course inside
the locked car!  (EDITOR'S NOTE: They're available online too, if

Tesla Model 3 Performance Testing 0-60 MPH and 1/4 Mile - Faster than a
Toyota Supra!
]

With now well over 1,000 Tesla Model 3’s on the road, we are hearing more
from non-employee customers about the vehicle and getting more third-party
tests.

Now we are even getting to see some performance testing of the Model 3,
which could be quicker than Tesla leads us to believe.

The Model 3 isn’t really supposed to be a performance EV at this point.
Tesla is still trying to push the Model S performance versions in that
regard, but future versions of the Model 3 with dual motor could also prove
competitive.

Nonetheless, DragTimes got their hands on a Model 3 and decided to test the
acceleration of the current version with RWD motor and Long Range battery
pack.

They used a VBOX to test the 0 to 60 mph acceleration time and the
quarter-mile time.

For the quarter-mile, they achieved a 13.376 seconds time at 103 mph. Tesla
hadn’t released any number for the quarter-mile so that’s our new reference
point.

As for the 0 to 60 mph acceleration, Tesla has been advertising 5.1 seconds
for the Long Range battery pack option.

Dragtimes beat that on its two runs – including one in 4.6 seconds, which is
significantly faster than what Tesla is advertising.

Electrek’s Take
It’s nothing new. Tesla owners have often achieved better times than Tesla
has been advertising even with previous vehicles and sometimes it has to do
with the testing method.

But in the case of the Model 3, you have to wonder if Tesla is not trying to
maintain the appearance that the difference between the Model 3 and Model S
is greater than it actually is in order not to cannibalize sales.

Of course, you can get way faster Model S vehicles than Model 3’s right now,
but Tesla’s slowest Model S now accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in 4.2 seconds,
which is getting pretty close to what Dragtimes achieved ...

Is 225-Mile 2019 Nissan LEAF Intended To Lure Away Premium Car Buyers From
Gas Competitors?

]

Is the 2019 Nissan LEAF designed to lure buyers who would otherwise go with
conventional vehicles from a premium brand (like BMW, Audi, etc.)?

That was the question posed and answered by a very interesting article
published on Push EVs recently. The idea (backed by what seems to be insider
information that the aforementioned website seems to often have access to)
is that, based on performance and specs alone, the 2019 LEAF will be able to
compete with the petrol and diesel BMW 1 Series hatchback — without even
factoring in “green” credentials. It will simply be a better car in most
ways.

This would offer another reason why Nissan is putting its ProPILOT
semi-autonomous driving suite into the LEAF before almost any other car —
that’s the kind of thing premium car buyers expect, or are at least enticed
by.

One of the advantages of all-electric vehicles is that they are relatively
simple, and thus cheaper to make (minus the battery packs), so as battery
costs drop, there’s the option to sell relatively high-spec cars with fancy
extra features at affordable prices (once battery costs fall enough).

Rather than paraphrase here, I’ll just highlight some of the most
interesting parts of the Push EVs article in question: “Make no mistake,
behind closed doors Nissan expects the 2019 MY Leaf to compete with the
petrol and diesel BMW 1 Series hatchback. It doesn’t care about the small
electric BMW i3.

“Performance and price wise, the 2019 Nissan Leaf can compete with the BMW 1
Series hatchback, furthermore the Leaf will have the refinement that only
electric drivetrains can provide.”

A helpful comparison of the two models (2019 Nissan LEAF vs. BMW 1 Series)
is provided here:

*LEAF specs in this text table are not official, but rather speculative with
some insider info, with only the range coming from a leaked Nissan document.

Needless to say, the information above was not publicly published by Nissan.
This is the first we’re seeing 2019 LEAF specs.

What’s worth remembering here is that around 10,000 BMW 1 Series hatchbacks
are sold in Europe every month. If the 2019 Nissan LEAF does manage to steal
sales from it, then that could represent a tipping point of sorts in the
European electric vehicle market. Perhaps, though, such a tipping point will
have to wait for the release of a new long-range Renault offering?

Worth noting here as well is that the Tesla Model 3 is not expected to ship
in large quantities to Europe until early 2019, probably around the same
time as the 2019 LEAF.

IMO: 50mi range is not enough to compete with the production e-motorcycles
already available. They should offer options for higher range. Also, the
buyer should be able to buy an option to charge at L2-6kW j1772.

Re: [EVDL] Electric Mini Boat

2018-01-31 Thread Lee Hart via EV

My friend came up with the latest cool EV: an electric mini boat! He designed 
this 6’ length boat that can hold a full sized person. I cruised around in it a 
bit, and it was pretty fun. Check out pictures and some video links on his 
site: http://rapidwhale.com/mini-boat.php   — he is also selling kits for those 
inclined to build their own.


Indeed, it's a cutie! I too suspect it's for placid waters. But heck, it looks 
like it would be fun, especially for the looks it gets. :-)


It seems like I saw something similar that was styled to look like a submarine. 
It didn't actually submerge; the appearance was just to give it a closed top 
(like a kayak), so you didn't have to worry about being swamped by waves or wakes.
