 There isn't just one road to alternative transportation, just like theirs not 
just one source of alternative energy ! Theirs room for all.  The more choices 
we have the better.

Because its irrelevant to selling EV's to the masses which is what we must
do to protect our air.

Because it is a stupid idea and they are being nice to not just roll their
eyes...

And they also understand it is totally unmarketable to the American public.

Of course they are, but totally lacking in a business model to sell enough
to change the word which MUST  happen.

And Yes, I BUILT one.  I added 220 watts on my solar prius, but I tell
people that it was fun but less than 0.001 economically practical!  I have
100 times more solar area on my roof at home AND the large format solar
panels coast one TENTH those on the prius for a net economic stupidity of
1000 to 1.

All this fluff over making solar cars is just distracting people from the
need to buy EVs NOW.  We are ten years since EV's were good enough, and now
they are better, faster, cleaner, cheaper to buy, cheaper to operate and
cheaper to maintain.

ALL WE NEED is an educated public and less fluff and chasing at windmills to
distract them.

Lets put our effort into educating the public about the 45 EVs we have now
and the 250 planned over the next 7 years and stop distracting them with
fluff...

Re: [EVDL] California PG Rebate?

2017-02-06 Thread Jeff Mccabe via EV
Yes, I received my email conformation a few days ago also ! I bought a used 
Tesla a year ago so no Fed and State rebates, so this was good news.

 Howdy!

    About a month ago there was a discussion on this list about the 
California PG Rebate and the requirements for receiving it. EVSE or 
no? Restricted only to certain locales? Etc...  To find out I applied 
for the rebate with our Fiat 500e on January 15 and this is what I got 
today:

  "Your application EV12345678 for the Clean Fuel Rebate for VIN 
3C3X has been approved for payment and your rebate check has 
been issued. You can expect to receive your rebate check in the amount 
of $500.00 at the mailing address on your PG account."

    Huh. It pays, literally, to attend to the discussions on this list.


  Thanks!

[EVDL] I my ADC 9Armature Bad ?

2014-06-23 Thread Jeff Mccabe via EV
Hello all,
  I ran my brushes to long and messed up my brush holder ring and need to turn 
my com. My question is I measured my Armature to Com. resistance before 
cleaning and it read 5.7 K ohm's after rinsing and backing out for several 
hours it read 17.5 K ohm's . Is it any good, or is it time for a new Armature ?
 
Thanks, Jeff
