Just a quick data point: My wife drove our 2013 Leaf to choir practice 
this evening. Temperature about 15 deg.F. It used 40% of its charge on 
the way there with the heater on. So on the way back, she left the 
heater off (just used the seat and steering wheel heaters), and it used 
20%. So the heater is using about as much power as driving the car down 
the road.

Kochs Fund Study to Kill Electric Vehicle Tax Credit Via Same Group That

Koch-Funded Echo Chamber Echoes Koch-Funded Study
]

When Koch Industries needs a study to cast doubt on the benefits of electric
vehicles (EVs), where does it turn?

Unsurprisingly, to an industry-funded study mill that infamously produced a
key report defending the tobacco industry that was deployed by Philip Morris
in the 1990s, and which has since published studies commissioned by the
liquefied natural gas (LNG) industry, the coal industry, and the U.S.
Chamber of Commerce [
https://www.desmogblog.com/2012/11/19/revealed-reuters-ids-nera-economic-consulting-third-party-contractor-doe-lng-export-study
].

As Congress debates whether to extend, end, or leave alone the federal EV
tax credit, a study critical of the incentive has been making the rounds in
conservative media outlets and Koch-affiliated free market advocacy groups.

The study, conducted and published by NERA (National Economic Research
Associates) Economic Consulting, was commissioned by Flint Hills Resources,
a refinery group and fuels marketing company that also happens to be a
wholly owned subsidiary of Koch Industries.

Predictably, Koch-affiliated and -funded groups are actively promoting the
study and calling for Congress to end the tax credit.

This week, the American Energy Alliance (AEA) issued a press release about
the study itself, quoting former Koch Industries lobbyist and current AEA
President Thomas Pyle. The group also delivered copies of the NERA study to
lawmakers on Capitol Hill.

Meanwhile, The Daily Caller News Foundation shrieked that the study “warns
of dire consequences” if the EV tax credits are extended. The Daily Caller
News Foundation is funded almost entirely by Charles Koch's foundations.

An op-ed published last week that promoted the NERA study and argued for an
EV tax credit phase-out was penned by Phil Kerben, who has worked at one
Koch-funded organization after the next throughout his career — Americans
for Prosperity, the Cato Institute, and the Club for Growth — and is
currently the head of American Commitment.

Pyle and Kerben also both signed onto the latest in a series of letters from
a coalition of conservative free-market groups to House leaders, demanding
that Congress not lift the cap on EV tax credits, which originally limited
the credits to the first 200,000 cars per manufacturer. The letter is the
second from this coalition in as many months, and at least the third sent by
these groups this year.


The Koch Network's Last Ditch Attempt to Kill the EV Tax Credit


The aggressive deployment of this NERA study suggests an escalation in the
Koch-funded attack on the EV tax credit in the last few weeks of Republican
control of both chambers of Congress.

Koch Industries has publicly voiced its opposition to the EV tax credit,
routinely citing this NERA study and other fossil fuel-funded and roundly
debunked studies.

In October, Koch Industries lobbyist Philip Ellender sent a letter to
senators urging opposition to any expansion of the tax credit.

In November, Ellender issued another statement opposing any tax extender
packages, “especially” the EV tax credit. In this statement, the Koch
lobbyist referenced the NERA study, without noting that it was commissioned
by a Koch Industries subsidiary.
The Latest in a Long History of NERA's Industry-Funded 'Studies'

This script isn't new.

In the early 1990s, Phillip Morris hired NERA to produce reports that would
argue against the health benefits of smoking bans in restaurants and
workplaces. Another particularly egregious NERA report commissioned by
Phillip Morris found no connection between advertising and smoking rates,
providing tobacco companies with literature to argue against cigarette
advertising bans.

Foreshadowing today's deployment of NERA materials in an auto policy debate,
in 2001 a NERA study was used to fight against a Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV)
mandate in California.

More recently, when the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) was
finalizing the Clean Power Plan in 2014, NERA issued a report claiming that
Obama's signature climate plan would greatly increase electricity bills.
Despite the fact that the NERA study used faulty efficiency cost
assumptions, out-of-date renewable energy cost assumptions, and did not
include any economic benefits of efficiency and emissions reductions, the
study

The all-new Nissan LEAF NISMO RC, an electric race car with more than double
the maximum power and ...
]

You may look at the Nissan Leaf and think “green urban runabout,” but the
automaker’s NISMO racing specialists saw serious race potential in the
electric car. Witness, then, the all-new – and seriously appealing – Nissan
Leaf NISMO RC, the regular Leaf’s bonkers racing sibling, complete with a
whole lot of power.

Nissan may have brought refreshes of the Murano and Maxima to the LA Auto
Show 2018 this week, but it saved the Leaf NISMO RC all for itself in Japan.
It’ll debut on the track on December 2, at the annual NISMO Festival at Fuji
International Speedway. There, it’ll take pride of place next to the new
Nissan Formula E car.

As with an old friend with new plastic surgery, you have to look closely to
see the regular Leaf hatchback underneath the NISMO RC changes. The bodywork
has been seriously overhauled, with an aggressively long hood leading to
Nissan’s V-motion grille. Silver and black paint is picked out with NISMO’s
traditional red accent color.

The front and rear sections are removable, and the whole car is almost 15
feet long with a 9 foot wheelbase. However it’s significantly lower to the
asphalt than a regular Leaf. In fact, at at under 48 inches tall, it’s about
a foot lower down.

Underneath is a full carbon-fiber racing monocoque structure, to which
Nissan and NISMO have bolted a variety of new parts. The regular Leaf
donates its high-capacity lithium-ion battery and inverters, but here they
feed the Leaf NISMO RC’s two 120 kW electric motors. Together they deliver
240 kilowatts and over 470 lb-ft of torque.

It’s all-wheel drive, with power managed independently to the front and rear
axles. The battery pack is placed in the center to help with balance, while
the electric motors and inverters are positioned right over the wheels.
Total weight is around 2,690 pounds.

Of course, the big thing here is performance. Nissan says the Leaf NISMO RC
will do 0-62 mph in 3.4 seconds, making it 50-percent faster than the old
car. That’s courtesy of more than double the maximum power and torque of the
racer’s predecessor.

“The all-new Leaf NISMO RC shows how we’re setting our sights even higher
when it comes to raw power and performance,” Executive Vice President
Daniele Schillaci, Nissan’s global head of marketing, sales and electric
vehicles, said of the car, “making electric vehicles even more exciting for
customers.”

Sadly, that doesn’t extend to actually selling them. While this might seem
the perfect addition to Nissan dealerships – we can see it sitting nicely
alongside the Nissan GT-R for those who demand some green with their grunt –
the automaker only plans to make six of them in total. They’ll be used as EV
halo vehicles around the world, with demonstrations at major shows along
with Formula E races.

It is not just on the roads (and rails) that electric transport is making
news. The ultimate dream of electric air travel has just taken another step
forward. Easyjet has announced that it is in talks with American company
Wright Electric to build aeroplanes powered by electric batteries. These
would be suitable for short haul flights of under two hours.

Wright Electric, a company founded two years ago, already has an electric
two-seater aircraft to its name, and is planning to launch a nine-seater
next year. It has lodged a patent request for its electric aircraft engine.
According to the company, electric aeroplanes could be 50% less noisy and
10% less expensive than current aircraft. Emissions from burning aircraft
fuel would be eliminated.

As for Easyjet, it specialises in relatively short flights around Europe,
and many of these may fit the criteria of the new aeroplane.

of New Challenges
November 30, 2018  Eric Adams

https://timedotcom.files.wordpress.com/2018/11/genovation-hero.jpg
]

The age of electrification will add new twists—and risks—to the ancient art
of modifying cars. 

Car culture was built on the backs of tuners and tinkerers, the diehard
automotive enthusiasts who, for more than a century, have been willing to
swap out engines and transmissions and body parts for stronger, lighter,
more powerful upgrades—or in more recent times, even just tweak onboard
computers for more turbo boost than the manufacturer might have thought
prudent. Cars, after all—even the sportiest of them—must still tow the line
on economic, efficiency, longevity, durability, and safety when they leave
the factory. Why not dig in a bit once it’s yours, even if it means giving
up a bit of something the carmaker or government would rather you have to
feed your need for speed?

But with the coming age of electrification, is the juice that fuels
tuner/hot-rodder/customizer culture about to vanish? After all, electric and
hybrid cars are complex black boxes that would scare off even the most
committed gearheads. Their motors—dense, sealed cylinders buried deep in the
machines—possess no discernible entry point or remotely tweak-able
appendages. Batteries present terrifying challenges to anyone without an
electrical engineering degree—and rightly so. What’s a wrench looking to
dial in quicker acceleration from an electrified ride to do?

At first glance, not much. When I asked a Honda representative at the Los
Angeles Auto Show about the potential for owner enhancement of electrified
vehicles, the typically tuner-friendly company was—predictably,
perhaps—decidedly cautious, despite the rabid car culture that surrounded
the Southern California venue. 

“We recognize and appreciate that people want to personalize their vehicles,
and we don’t expect that to change as more vehicles become electrified,”
said Chris Naughton, after consulting with colleagues on the clearly
sensitive matter. “That is why we offer a full range of accessories to help
personalize vehicle appearance and, depending on the model, a variety of
driving modes to suit the mood or need of the driver.”

That said, he then definitively discouraged monkeying with the carmaker's
machines in any fashion not developed or endorsed by the company itself,
particularly with respect to electric powertrains. “Working with high
voltage electrical systems in modern EVs can be very dangerous, with
potentially deadly consequences if certain service procedures are not
followed precisely,” Naughton said. “Thus, the stakes can be much higher
modifying an electric vehicle versus modifying a traditional vehicle, and
these risks should not be taken lightly.”

But if owners or even professional aftermarket tuners were to try and climb
into an EV’s powertrain to monkey around, they’d likely have a tough time
figuring out where to even start. Today’s electric vehicles no longer simply
have electric motors in place of the engines and batteries where the gas
tank used to be; they’re fully integrated in ways that internal combustion
vehicles simply never have been. In the new Audi E-Tron SUV, for example,
the Quattro all-wheel-drive system alone taps very specific elements of
battery, suspension, and motor capability to fine-tune its off-road
scrambling and on-road handling. 

“Such powertrains are very hard to mess with,” said Audi engineer Michael
Wein, project manager for the electric Quattro system. “You can’t just boost
the turbos anymore or put in new gear ratios. They have to be fit precisely
to the right battery and the electronics of the motor itself, and all the
thermal management systems factor in, as well. It’s nearly impossible to
turn this system because it’s really, really complicated.”

He notes by way of example that in internal combustion vehicle programs,
each system could be developed more or less independently—but in an electric
vehicle, the battery, motor, cooling, chassis, transmission, and
electronics, and even the suspension, are all developed as a complete
package in a single, very large team. The resulting systems work much faster
and in complete harmony with each other—and are in fact already engineered
to maximize performance as much as possible. After all, the Tesla Model S
P100D electric sedan can accelerate to 60 mph in less than 2.5 seconds, the
Audi E-Tron can fully disable its traction control to unleash some
legitimately good drifting capabilities, and the Jaguar I-Pace can shred
racetracks in the morning then tackle gnarly off-road ascents in the
afternoon.

On the other hand, we’ve been monkeying with machines since before the
Industrial Revolution, so to think that whole line of human desire might

A variety of the sorts of electric carts that once sped along the sidewalks
of Long Beach

1956 electric autoette car
]

If you spent any time walking the mean streets of Downtown Long Beach before
1971 or so, and you’re still alive against all odds, you can consider
yourself a survivor of the Autoette menace that terrorized local pedestrians
throughout the Vietnam-Cold War-era.

For our purposes, Autoette is a trade name for the little electric shopping
car created by electrical engineer Robert Tafel in Long Beach shortly after
he moved to Long Beach in 1936, but now it’s a generic term for the little
three-wheel, stick-steering carts that were manufactured under several
names, including Mobilette, Marketeer, Marketour and the Electric Shopper.

There were electric cars in existence in Long Beach at the time Tafel
arrived in Long Beach. They were called Custer cars, for their inventor, L.
Luzern Custer, and to call them cars is to engage in hyperbole. They were
basically electric-powered wheelchairs (the term “electric chairs” was
probably not much considered) and were chiefly used by polio survivors and
infirm veterans of World War I to get around town. The cost was about $300
(more than $5,000 in 2018 dollars), which was nearly prohibitive. Tafel
reckoned he could make it cheaper, and he did. Soon the little cars were
zipping all over town.

If this brings back memories, or dredges up a long-subsumed fear, or if you
want to know more about how Long Beach was the sun of the electric cart
galaxy, one of the nation’s premier experts on the subject, Larry Fisher,
will cover every aspect of the “low-speed electric vehicles” in a
presentation, “The Autoette, As Modern as Today: Long Beach and the Electric
Car” from 1 to 3 p.m. Dec. 8 at the Historical Society of Long Beach [
https://hslb.org/
]. It’s part of the society’s “Chrome: Cruisin’ Cars and Clubs” exhibit.

Fisher is the executive director of the National Hot Rod Association
Motorsports Museum in Pomona, and when you think of hot rods, three-wheeled
electric golf-carts don’t automatically spring to mind. “I got into electric
carts by accident,” he said. “I collect vintage motorcycles and I was out
someplace checking one out at someone’s house, and I saw that he had an old
Autoette,” said Fisher. “I said, ‘I remember those when I was a kid,’ and
I’d forgotten about them. I passed on the motorcycle, but I bought the car.”

At one point, he said, he had 36 of them. Now they’ve joined the fleet at
the Historic Electric Vehicle Foundation [
http://www.hevf.org/
], in Kingman, Arizona, of which Fisher is a charter board member. “After I
bought the first one, I started researching them and I began to realize
there was a lot of incorrect information about them in the websphere. And I
found out that Long Beach was the epicenter of their production.”

Tafel had the good fortune of inventing the Autoette just as World War II
was breaking out, and the defense industry snapped them up to use in
warehouses and factories, where they were put into use instead of
gas-powered Cushman carts.

“After the war, the momentum increased,” said Fisher. “They became popular
as a second car, and their names, like the Marketeer and the Electric
Shopper, reflected the idea that they were a viable alternatives to a second
car for housewives to do their shopping and run errands.

“They were sidewalk legal and curb cutouts allowed them to drive up on the
sidewalk, so they could park right in front of the store. Businesses along
American Avenue (Long Beach Boulevard) had Autoette parking.”

The cars, especially when they took to the sidewalks in large numbers, were
more of a nuisance than a peril, said Fisher. “There weren’t a lot of
accidents, but the cars were unstable at speed and if you turned too fast
you’d flip it over.”

At the dawn of the 1970s, the Autoettes had become enough of a problem that
they were basically legislated off the streets and sidewalks, and Downtown
pedestrians rejoiced. The three-wheeled vehicles are now just a memory.

But electric carts are far from dead. In fact, they’re making a resurgence
in beach communities, such as Belmont Shore and Naples, where parking is a
problem and they’ve become the vehicle of choice for people just wanting to
zip into town for a meal or shopping.

“People look at these modern vehicles and, yeah, they have better
construction and they look nicer, but their performance, ironically, is
about the same as the Autoette. They top out at about 25 mph

If you're getting 190 miles per kWh, I want your EV.

I think you mean energy, not power.  :-)

I'm not sure that I understand what the further complications are.  As far 
as I can see, it should be just simple math.  The  energy use measured at 
the motor should be the same as the energy consumed at the battery, minus 
some percentage for losses in the controller, which will vary with 
conditions, but can be averaged.  Am I missing something?

I think you are meaning to state 180-230 Wh/mi?  180-230 mile/kWh would be 
extremely unusual efficiency for an on-road EV, and mile/kW just doesn’t make 
any sense ;^>

I understand your reasoning for not using battery voltage to estimate state of 
charge, but when you quote any efficiency values involving Wh or kWh (Wh/mi or 
mi/kWh), you are, of course, taking battery voltage into account because power 
depends upon both the battery voltage and current, and so, therefore, does 
energy in Wh or kWh.

Pure coulomb-counting will only give you energy usage in mi/Ah, which may be 
useful in the context of your own EV, but does not allow comparison to the 
usage of other EVs.

Cheers,

Roger.

Re: [EVDL] poor 2011 Leaf performance

2018-12-06 Thread Steve Heath via EV
th these 
things.
I basically drive back and forth to work and charge when I get to 
work

(there's a J1772 6kw charger here). I don't usually have to charge at
home, even in Winter, even if I drive around a bit between home and
work. But, I live 9 miles away from work so that's only 18 required
miles to get back and forth. Still, driving 9 miles from work to home
in Winter will easily take 20% charge, sometimes more. This agrees
with my above guess. 9*5 would be 45 miles range at best.

Cor,

So, just to make sure I understand, you have 8 capacity bars, which
you're assuming is
100% - 15% - 3 * 6.25% = 66% of 24 kWh, or about 16 kWh, correct?

In my case, with between 8 and 9 capacity bars, that would be
100% - 15% - 2.5 * 6.25% = 69%,
or 24 kwh * 69% = 16.5 kWh.

My estimate for the range remaining doesn't change - I used the 
table

in
the link below and did not assume them to be linear. So the rest 
of my

calculations are unchanged.

Still results in 3.5 kWh being "lost" somewhere.

If someone local (Seattle) has a gid meter and is willing to lend 
it,

I
might be able to get some more accurate extrapolations. At least I'd
know the true capacity and the true amount of energy used, right?

Capacity bars are not linear.
The 12 bar display is actually anything from 85% to 100% capacity.
Below that, every bar stands for 6.25% if I am not mistaken 
(quoting

>from memory)
So 7 bar capacity can be as low as 100 – 15 – 4 x 6.25% = 60% so 
less

than 15kWh.
Also, there is a reason it is called the GOM (Guess-O-Meter).
My Leaf has 8 capacity bars. I can drive home and go from 12 
quickly

to

10 or 9 and then arrive home with only 6 or 7 bars left.
Then drive to work starting with that half charge and arrive at 
work

with still 3 bars left….
I have noticed that range bars are not linear, so you can’t say X

bars

is so many kWh left.
GIDs are a better measurement, so use LeafSpy and you can much 
better

judge what your Leaf is doing.
Hope this helps,
Cor.

Anyone want to take a stab at this mystery - poor performance of my
2011
Leaf ?

Temp about 45F
Heat on: drawing average of about 1 kW
"other systems" drawing about .25 kW
Drove 14 miles, went from 12 range bars to 5 bars (full charge 
level

is

9 capacity bars)
Average 3.2 miles / kWh
Duration about 1 hr.
Driving pretty carefully - usually only 2 "balls" on the usage 
meter.


For electrical systems, I estimate I used about 1.25 kWh.
For traction, 14 / 3.2 = about 4.5 kWh
Total: 5.75 kWh.

According to
https://electrolease.nz/blog/nissan-leaf-range-charts-and-tables.html 


5 bars equates to about 45% charge remaining.

Assuming that the capacity bars are linear and I'm between 8 and 9,

the

battery should have somewhere near 17 kWh (24 originally).

45% of that is about 7.5 kWh remaining charge.
Add in what I've used, 5.75, makes 13.25 kW - but should be around

17.

Plus extrapolating the mileage: 14 / 45% = 31 miles estimated total
range.

What happened to the other 4 kWh?

And, am I the only one who get 31 miles per charge? This Leaf 
has had

miserable winter range since the beginning. Still don't know why.

Re: [EVDL] Nissan fob compatibility

2018-12-06 Thread Lawrence Rhodes via EV
 I am a little confused.  You say they are deteriorated but are 60% above 
original capacity.  Is this getting into the "safety" capacity that Nissan 
doesn't use?  What voltage should a module be charged to to prolong life?  Like 
3.9v instead of 4.1?  Extremely curious as I will probably use your Minibms 
solution for charging.  Lawrence

I have plenty Leaf modules. Most are deteriorated, all are above 60% original 
capacity.

Pull out the key from the FOB, the ID and model are engraved in the plastic 
under the key.

I saw the programing done on the internet.  Took about a minute to do two fobs. 
 I can get my exact fob for 41 dollars.  However I see fobs from 4 dollars up.  
Junk yard wants 78 dollars for a used one.  No way.  I didn't see the ID for my 
fob.  Supposed to be a sticker on the back. Bad design.  I think it might be in 
the fob somewhere.  Haven't found it yet. Is it possible you have 18 to 24 Leaf 
modules? What are their capacity if you do?  Thanks,  Lawrence

Nissan Sunnyvale.

This was for the car that I swapped complete battery pack, so it had to be 
reprogrammed anyway and they were OK with doing both battery programming and 
adding a FOB for the minimum service fee ($160) which I needed to pay anyway 
for the battery swap.

I am curious as to how you programmed your fob?  Lawrence Rhodes
