los angeles-based startup ampere motor starts production of a sporty
electric three-wheeled convertible. technically speaking, the ampere ‘one’
is a three-wheeled car, and depending on country of residence it can be
classified as a motorcycle. its unique, low-slung form is a shade similar to
the polaris ‘slingshot‘, and the morgan ‘EV3‘. 

ampere motor’s ‘one’ three-wheeler offers 160 kilometers (100 m) of range in
its most basic configuration, while owners who plan on taking slightly
longer trips can upgrade to 240 km (150 m). regardless of battery life, the
sprint from 0 to 60 mph takes eight seconds flat and top speed checks in at
120 km/h (75 mph). recharging the three-wheeled ‘one’s’ battery takes three
and a half hours when plugged into a regular household power outlet.

tony chan, ampere motor’s CEO comments, ‘we wanted to make an electric car
that is affordable to as many people as possible, so we designed the ampere
1 to be simple and practical. at the same time, it’s also stylish like an
exotic sports car and really fun to drive. our team has been driving race
cars for over 20 years, so we use a lot of race car technology in this car.
it’s built with a very strong and lightweight race car derive tubular
chassis and a double wishbone suspension similar to that of luxury sports
cars.’

[EVDL] Manzanita micro PFC charger options connector pinout

2018-02-11 Thread Paul Wallace via EV
I’ve got an older PFC40 charger without the options connector on the back 
panel, vintage about 2009 or maybe a little newer.  I’d like to add the options 
connector so that I can control charger output current remotely.  Does anyone 
have pictures of the internal charger wiring harness for the option connector 
and a pinout of either the internal options header, or the external options 
connector?

thanks,
Paul Wallace

Almost exactly like a Curtis 1221/1231 family controller. It's apparent 
that he saw the insides of a Curtis, and copied it. That's not a bad 
thing; the Curtis controllers were pretty successful. It's always best 
to learn from others.


There are more examples of simple controllers here:

Re: [EVDL] EVLN: Halbach near-monopole e-motor> Focused Magnetics

2018-02-11 Thread Peri Hartman via EV
Hard to say what the inventor, Catalan, said. But the author, Arcega, 
did make some far fetched claims:


"...half of all the electricity in the world is consumed by electric 
motors... Improving the energy efficiency of the world’s electric motors 
by just one tenth would save enough electricity to run the entire 
country of Japan for an entire year [what ever that technically 
means]... Now imagine if the technology to make electric motors nearly 
twice as efficient were already here."


"He says the prototype motor represents a breakthrough technology that 
effectively doubles the power and efficiency of any device that uses a 
conventional electric motor."


"By harnessing this ‘near-monopole’ energy, Catalan says an electric 
vehicle using a production version of his new motor would travel nearly 
twice as far as a conventional motor on the same set of batteries."


I agree that market spin is open to interpretation, but these statements 
are pretty clear. And pretty wrong.

We're not talking about academic research here.  This is a for-profit
enterprise.  They want investors.

Obviously I'm not a company insider or "stakeholder," just a skeptic; 
nor am
I an engineer or physicist, so I can't speak to the Halbach related 
claims.


However, let's envision one possible scenario.

Suppose you could reduce losses in a motor from (say) 4% to 2%.  You've
halved the losses, so you've doubled the efficiency, no?

Well, it all depends on how you define it.  If your power input to the 
motor
is 100 Watts, the old version produced 96W of output.  The new one 
produces
98W of output.  That's 2.1% higher (2/96) output. Doesn't sound quite 
as
impressive as "doubling the efficiency," does it?  Which one do you 
think a
salesman, or a PR person, or a "journalist" looking for a clickbait 
story

that willl "go viral," is going to quote?
