Car crashes with electric car charging point in Ashley Road, Poole
22nd July 2020  RESIDENTS are demanding action after a car crashed into
barriers surrounding an electric car charging point for the third time.
Police were called to Ashley Road in Poole just after 10.30pm on Tuesday

asked to attend due to debris on the road ... Resident Micky Corby-Grace
said she was disturbed by a loud bang and fears there will be another,

never used yet there have been three crashes already. It is frightening to
hear such a loud bang and I'm worried that next time the charging point

I agree with David, though not quite a stridently. After all, bicycles did take 
over in the 1890's world of horses and carriages. They were a highly disruptive 
technology that nevertheless took hold.

I could also point at the Swiss Twike; another highly efficient but very 
strange and expensive EV that nevertheless found its way to market.

Maybe some niche will be found for the Stella Lux. Maybe in some country other 
than the US, which seems to be stuck in the last century.

[EVDL] California News Release: Additional Electric Vehicle Charging Stations Now Available at State Highway Rest Areas on the Central Coast

2020-07-23 Thread cleanair--- via EV
Always nice to see more charging infrastructure go live in California.
Danny Ames

Stations Now Available at State Highway Rest Areas on the Central Coast Date: 
July 3, 2020 District 5 – Central Coast

Additional Electric Vehicle Charging Stations Now Available at State Highway 
Rest Areas on the Central Coast.

MONTEREY/SAN LUIS OBISPO COUNTY – A solar-powered direct current fast-charging 
electric vehicle charging station has been installed at the Shandon Rest Area 
near Highway 46 East in San Luis Obispo County, in addition to two stations 
that were activated last fall at the US 101 Camp Roberts Rest Area in southern 
Monterey County.

 

“With more than 650,000 zero-emission vehicles on the road in California, the 
installation of these stations at strategic locations along the state highway 
system will allow the public to travel with greater ease, convenience and zero 
tail-pipe emissions,” said Caltrans Director Toks Omishakin.

 

These locations were selected to encourage longer travel trips by electric 
vehicles in remote rural areas. Charging is free to the public in 30-minute 
increments.

 

The Camp Roberts and Shandon ChargePoint Express 250 charging stations are 
powered by the EV ARC™ system which combines sun-tracking solar power 
generation with battery storage to provide energy for electric vehicles. It can 
charge day or night and during inclement weather. Commonly used cables and 
connectors for electric vehicles are available, and Tesla drivers can also use 
the stations if they carry an adapter. EV motorists can check availability of 
the stations through ChargePoint and Plug Share smartphone apps.

 

This EV ARC™ system generates and stores electricity, allowing emergency 
responders to use these facilities to obtain emergency power in the event of an 
earthquake, wildfire or other disaster.

 

The Camp Roberts facility was funded by the Monterey Bay Air Resources District 
(MBARD) at a cost of $1.4 million which includes long-term system maintenance.

 

“MBARD is pleased to partner with Caltrans District 5 on this unique electric 
vehicle infrastructure project which makes DC charging available at the Camp 
Roberts and Shandon Rest Areas. These strategic locations on US 101 and Highway 
46 East fill a gap in the network of charging stations along these important 
corridors. By funding the installation of fast charging stations, MBARD 
promotes the adoption of fully electric vehicles,” said MBARD Air Pollution 
Control Officer Richard A. Stedman.

 

The Shandon Rest Area charging station was completed with funding contributions 
from the San Luis Obispo County Air Pollution Control District as part of a 
larger $2 million project executed by the Hoseley Corporation of San Francisco, 
California.

 

For more information on this project and for traffic updates on other Caltrans 
projects, travelers may call the District 5 toll free number at (831) 372-0862 
or visit our website.

Re: [EVDL] Faking out your EV so it will accept solar input while driving.

2020-07-23 Thread Jay Summet via EV
I generally agree with David on the points below, but could think of a 
few ways the Stella Lux could be brought to market:


1) A niche/specialty product, sold to a small number of (rich) early 
adopters willing to pay $100,000 for a super environmental (and 
exclusive) vehicle.



2) If Tesla (or any other automaker) wanted to, I think they could 
manufacture and sell a very similar product at scale ("Tesla Lite") for 
$35,000-$45,000.  (All it would take is a way to mass-produce the carbon 
fiber body with integrated solar cells, everything else in the vehicle 
is COTS.)


However, Tesla is already selling the base model 3 in that price range, 
and combined with the supercharger network, it is more capable, safer, 
and has better performance than the Lux.

Governments are too intent on cutting rich folks' taxes to spend that way,

Someone with a Bezos- or Gates-size fortune might be able to do it, but Elon
Musk notwithstanding, people like that don't usually have enough interest in
EVs to put a big part of their fortune into one.

I just don't see a business case for a vehicle like the Stella Lux.  I wish
I did.  But the landscape is already littered with hundreds of brilliant EV
ideas that should have made production and couldn't get there, from the
Aptera to the Solectria Sunrise.

I think that if you want a Stella Lux or something similar, you're going to
have to build it yourself from scratch.

Or maybe you could hire a couple members of the Stella team to build you
one, if you have something close to Elon Musk's fortune.  :-\

Or just do the sensible thing, and put the bloody PV on your house's roof.
That way it gets more sun more of the time, and you don't have to haul it
around on the car when it's not producing any significant energy.

 Hmmm.
This is just physics. I worked on chargers and charging software.
Most LiIon charge algorithms usw CC/CV where in the beginning the current is 
set to the maximum the battery can handle.
When the maximum voltage is reached the control changes to constant voltage 
mode where the current is lowered to maintain the voltage.
You can set a power supply to constant voltage and hook it up to a li Ion 
battery and it will behave the same way.
Nothing special except where you set the CV limit too.

 The cells are tightly spaced and the car is designed to be a platform for the

I agree. We know that cells are damaged by either over-charging or 
under-charging. We also know that they are never perfectly matched or 
balanced. So the sensible thing to do is use only the "middle" range, 
like 20-80%, or 10-90% SOC (depending on how conservative you want to be).
