To: Electric Vehicle Discussion
One solution is to build EVs with quick-change battery packs. That's
what we're trying on the Sunrise EV2. The batteries are in a drawer
that slides out the front.
With quick-change packs, you can use a cheap short-range pack for normal
around-town driving. Or swap it for a light high-power
Ok, we've seen both sides of the wasteful range question. Let me pose
this: how close to saturation are we for the market of people who can
afford and are willing to have an additional car just so they can buy a
short range (50+ miles) for local driving.
That is, how many people are left who
My answer: I'm waiting for a 40 mile BEV. The Prius 12mi is too short
and both it and the VOLT haul along an entirely not needed ICE (adding
$10k to the price) (I have 2 other salvage Prius for all the distance I
need). And my daily commute is 30 mi total. 40 miles for me.
Unwilling to pay

You will need the few miles of extra range when:
1) The car gets a number of years old, and the pack ages a bit.
2) Winter, bad weather, etc.
3) Construction/accident detour.
4) Unnoticed low pressure in tire.
etc, etc, etc
It is nice to have a little extra cushion in the total

I've got two Anderson contacts on my pack, one on the negative side and one
on the positive side. So when the key is out of the ignition, the
controller and all other components are separated from the traction pack. I
currently have a 120V system, with two strings in parallel, because I have a
I noticed on the Tesla website under Model S charging they have a charge
time and cost calculator near the bottom of the page:

If you click up on the kind of outlet you use, you notice that 110 V 12A

No problem, until the day that you forget that you charged in series and turn

Elon Musk is sounding more and more like a control freak.
I can understand discouraging modifications that create a public hazard. You
might include ICEV chipping there, if it increases emissions (I'd expect
it to, but I don't know). I also think that bull bars on 4 wheel drive
vehicles are
That's when I might plug in to a 120v outlet at work and double my range.

Peri,
You might have been sarcastic, but you almost described my vehicles. I have
the following:
Bicycle - recreation only. My commute is 25 miles each way on highways. Not
for me on a bike.
2 person EV - Honda del Sol conversion with 50 mile range for commuting.
4 person EV - Just bought.
Hi Peri and All, With some accessories you can cut that way down by a
transport system approach.
I need most of what you say my solution is a 2-4 seat EV with 60-120
mile range that tows a convertible lightweight aero trailer making it into a
van, camper, flatbed, pickup.
Could any of the current shorter range BEV options work for you, Bob?
The Mitsubishi iMiev or Smart ED are shorter range, lower priced BEV
options (no superfluous ICE). Either may be worth considering for more
affordable 30 mile commuter use, if available in your area. Or perhaps a
used
If our vehicle owners customize our vehicles...
I thought when a vehicle was purchased and the owner held the title
that the vehicle was no longer the manufacturers.
