Re: [EVDL] Clutch Actuator

One consideration with a clutch is that you can easily overspeed the electric motor when downshifting if you miss a gear or aren’t paying attention. Relying on the synchros protects you somewhat in that case. Bruce > On Feb 26, 2018, at 3:03 PM, ev-requ...@lists.evdl.org wrote: > On February

OK, Cor's right. So let's let this thread end now. It has very little to do with EVs, other than being a potential contributor to the overall power supply. Thanks! Bruce ___ UNSUBSCRIBE: http://www.evdl.org/help/index.html#usub

Yes, London England. Well, I thought the price alone would steer drivers toward EVs, even if eco concerns did not. Today I saw more rooftop solar around Bristol than I've seen in all of VA, NJ, AZ and Bahamas combined. Maybe electricity is very pricey. Bruce Bruce

[EVDL] EV-Spotting in London

2016-05-17 Thread Bruce Lawton via EV
I'm in London this week and surprised at the lack of EVs. I see more on my northern Virginia commute than I've seen all week here. Gas is £1.22/liter ($6.14/gal), which of course is much more than home. Why so few EVs here? Bruce ___ UNSUBSCRIBE:

You might want to compare notes with Steve Clunn. He just converted a semi last year and probably has real world numbers you could consider. Bruce Message: 2 > Date: Tue, 3 Nov 2015 15:14:07 -0800 > From: Larry Gales via EV > To: Electric Vehicle Discussion List
