KALAMAZOO, MI -- Several electric vehicles will be on display and available
for rides Sept. 16 in Kalamazoo as part of Drive Electric Week.

Also, screenings of the documentary "Who Killed the Electric Car?" will be
offered Wednesday, Sept. 9, and Tuesday, Sept. 15, in Kalamazoo in
conjunction with Drive Electric Week, which celebrates and promotes electric
vehicles.

At least six different models of electric vehicles will be available for
rides from 3:30 to 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 16, at the People's Food
Co-op, 507 Harrison St., in Kalamazoo. [Plugins will include the Tesla Model
S, Nissan LEAF, Mitsubishi i, Zero Motorcycles EVs, and Chevy Volt pih]
according to organizers.

Local owners of electric vehicles will be on hand to share their stories and
a display will be set up from Four Elements Energy showing solar hook-up for
the vehicles.

"Electric vehicles use much less of the planet's resources than traditional
gas vehicles" and cause "so much less planet destruction," Ben Brown, event
organizer and owner of an electric vehicle, said in a news release.

"Electric cars are not just for elite or pretty people, they are for all
people who need a reliable, sustainable car."

The Kalamazoo event coincides with National Drive Electric Week, which runs
Sept. 12-20 and is presented by Plug in America, Sierra Club, the Electric
Auto Association and Nissan LEAF, which is the exclusive auto sponsor.

Awards will be given to area organizations who have been leaders in electric
vehicles and sustainability efforts in Kalamazoo, including Cole Nissan, the
Western Michigan University Office for Sustainability, and the People's Food
Co-op. The Sept. 16 event will coincide with the People's Food Co-op's 100
Mile Market, which features locally grown or produced food and is held
Wednesdays from 3 to 7 p.m.

Free public screenings of the documentary "Who Killed the Electric Car?" are
scheduled for Wednesday, Sept. 9, at 7 p.m. in the Van Deusen Room of the
downtown Kalamazoo Public Library, 315 S. Rose St., and Tuesday, Sept. 15,
at 11:35 a.m. in the Light Fine Arts Building at Kalamazoo College, 1200
Academy St. Both events will feature a question-and-answer session with
Brown in addition to the movie screening.

Think Italy, think Modena, think high-spec racing vehicles and the first
name that comes to mind is Ferrari – the famous red car with the prancing
horse logo known across the world. However, there is another Italian family
which could soon be considered the modern equivalent of the Ferrari
phenomenon.

Five years ago, CRP Group (a collection of specialist companies with
expertise in high precision CNC machining and WindForm Additive
Manufacturing) built and entered an electric racing motorcycle “eCRP 1.2”
into the TTXGP EU race in Assen. The bike went on to win the European
Championship title that year. Based on the successful debut of the “eCRP
1.2” and drawing on the company’s experience with Additive Manufacturing,
the second racing motorcycle “eCRP 1.4” which had a custom-made
lithium-polymer (LiPo) 7.4kWh battery competed in two classes in the TTXGP
series. The harsh and testing environment of racing was a good proving
ground for the technology and its reliability, and led to the development of
a road version: Energica.

Fast forward to 2015, Energica has a fully specified electric motorcycle
range, a dealership network and is delivering its first batch of bikes to
some lucky customers. Along the way has been several tradeshows and
exhibitions, one of which was at the Monaco ePrix. Energica was part of an
exhibition at the Convergence initiative launched during the ePrix event.
Livia Cevolini, boss of Energica Superbike, a charming and enthusiastic lady
spoke to a queue of interested delegates (including DSVirgin Formula E boss,
Alex Tai) about the latest Italian masterpiece from Modena.

Her company now boasts three models of superbikes:

 Energica Eva & Ego: Energica Ego has a synchronous oil-cooled motor with
permanent magnets and has 100kW of instantaneous power at its disposal. Ego
accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in 3 seconds and reaches a top speed of 150
mph. Clients are taking delivery of the Ego this year, and the Eva is
expected on sale soon.

 Energica Ego45: The Ego45 is a unique version of the electric superbike
celebrating the 45th anniversary of its manufacturer, CRP Group. The
exclusive and customisable Ego45 is made to special order as a maximum of 45
units will ever be built.

Guest writer Bunmi Ade recently interviewed Energica CEO, Livia Cevolini
about the company’s growth and a possible return to racing.

Energica was “born” in Modena, home of iconic supercar, Ferrari. So what was
the motivation to develop an electric superbike rather than a petrol or
hybrid?

It’s not a coincidence that Energica was developed here; we live in the
Italian Motor Valley! We are raised with fast and gorgeous cars and bikes.
Energica was born here in Modena, in the capital of speed, from an
entrepreneurial vision of my family between 2008 and 2009.

During those years, we decided to start looking at what we thought was the
future, like electric vehicles. We decided to focus on something completely
new, with completely new technologies, and in a market where there was still
time and space to be heard. This is why we decided to develop an electric
bike instead of a petrol or hybrid bike.

We had two years of racing that served primarily as Technology Scouting,
then in 2011 we started working on the road version, Energica. We started to
fit the needs of a streetbike with the new electric technology and the
differences of the racing market; from here we arrived at the Energica Ego,
which is currently on sale.

The development timescales are quite impressive – do you have any unique
technologies and patents from developing the superbikes?

Yes, several patents have been registered for Energica: battery packs, the
VCU, the ride-by-wire and Windform materials – a unique composite material
within the additive manufacturing and 3D printing sector. On the development

Smart car keeps North Delta family connected during blackout
By Andrew McCredie, Vancouver Sun  September 4, 2015

[image  / Steve Bosch , Vancouver Sun
http://www.vancouversun.com/cms/binary/11342289.jpg
Stuart Evans charged his computer with electricity from his smart car during
last weekend’s power failure.
]

Stuart Evans used his 2013 Smart ED Cabriolet to ride out last weekend’s
power failure. Only the North Delta man wasn’t in the all-electric
two-seater — he was plugged into it.

Evans’s home router, laptop and a smartphone charging station drew power
from the car while it was parked in his driveway.

“It was just like a little slice of camping only with Netflix and power for
phone and iPad charging,” he says of the 48 hours his family of four was
without power.

The 54-year old has worked in and around the electric car business for the
past 15 years, first as the director of business development for an EV
charging station manufacturer, and then as a consultant specializing in the
high-tech industry.

Using a $30 inverter plugged into his car, Evans ran an extension cord to
his home for power.

“To be fair, what I did could be done by anyone with a (gasoline-powered)
vehicle,” he says, explaining the inverter he used can be plugged into a
12-volt car battery. “But the penalty of having a low battery in a
gas-powered car is you can’t start when you need to.”

While the inverter Evans used could not support the power supply required
for a full-sized fridge or freezer, it can power a small fridge or electric
cooler. Evans estimates his car could power such a system for days, if not
weeks.

More robust inverter systems are available. Nissan, builders of the
all-electric Leaf, offer a “power control system” in the Japanese market,
where household power can be supplied from the Leaf’s lithium-ion battery.
The automaker says for a Japanese home, a fully charged Leaf can provide
regular electric power for two full days. Tesla’s Powerwall energy storage
system, available in Canada, is also advertised as an emergency backup
supply, but does not plug directly into a vehicle.

But Evans says the cost of these units does not warrant their installation.

“At most (in a power failure) you’re probably looking at $1,000 of food
spoilage,” he says. “The things that upsets most people during a power
failure are there are no lights on and there is no entertainment.”

Except in the Evans’ home.

Tara Monroe, a student at Texas State University, had her license suspended
after refusing to take a Breathalyzer test during a traffic stop 

Afterwards she bought a hot-pink [Electric] Barbie Jeep on Craigslist for
$60 

The 5ft 3ins college junior uses the 12-volt battery-operated vehicle to
transport herself around campus at 5mph

Having been barred from driving her [ice] car after a DWI arrest, a creative
Texas State University student switched to a different set of wheels - a hot
pink Barbie Jeep. 

Tara Monroe, a junior majoring in industrial engineering, had her license
suspended after she refused to submit to a Breathalyzer test during a
traffic stop on her way home from a concert. 

Her father drove from the family's home in Kingwood to San Marcos to take
away her [ice] vehicle, leaving Tara with only two available modes of
transportation: a bicycle or her own two feet.

Social media users have also taken notice of Monroe, sharing snapshots of
the 20-year-old going around town at 5mph in her [Electric] Barbie mobile.

Monroe, who was arrested on March 4 with a $3,000 bond, said she is
flattered and surprised by all the attention garnered by her second-hand toy
[Electric] Jeep, which she appropriately nicknamed 'Charlene' after the
little girl she bought it from.

'This is the best way I could have gotten my 15 minutes of fame,' she said.
'Basically, it was the best decision I’ve made in college, yet.'

She told My San Antonio: Most people don’t find the things me and my friends
do very funny, just immature, so I didn’t expect to get this big of a
reaction. People who don’t know me are shocked but my friends weren’t even
surprised because I do stuff like this all the time.'

She's living in a Barbie world

When life handed this Texas State student a DWI-sized lemon, she made
lemonade.

Tara Monroe, a junior at Texas State, was spotted zipping around campus in
her tiny Barbie Jeep after having her license suspended for refusing to take
a breathalyzer test after a rap concert, according to MySanAntonio.com. Her
dad brought her a bike to replace the [ice] car she could no longer drive,
but Monroe thinks biking around campus “sucks.”

“Like really sucks,” the 20-year-old told the website.

So, she got innovative. She tracked down a little girl unloading a Barbie
Jeep via craigslist, bought the [Electric] car for $60, and drove off in the
sunset.

Folks around town (and on the internet) have really gotten a kick out of
seeing the 20-year-old buzz around campus, living out the fantasy of Barbie
girls across the globe and Monroe relishes the attention ...

 If you leave it open (with *many* holes) then it can cool better
 but (like a DC motor) you better blow filtered/screened air through

Re: [EVDL] hub motor cooling ac motor

[Mark Grasser via EV]

Good point. It is very hard to hold onto metal above 70degC. I would bet the
max temp to be much higher than that. Also if you are concerned why not duct
air to it? In days way passed, we used 3" ducting on the cars we raced to
cool the brakes. It is very affective.

I  should look. I thought of spraying water mist on the outside for the

Re: [EVDL] hub motor cooling ac motor

[Peter C. Thompson via EV]

I bolted a fan directly on my air-cooled AC motor, and that helped, but 
in this case, it will need a directed airflow to help cool the motor.  
If that doesn't help enough, insert a misting nozzle into the airflow.


However, before doing anything drastic, attach a digital thermometer to 
the motor and find out exactly how hot it is getting, and then compare 
that to the max value from the manual.


Cheers, Peter

Ken,
Motors come in a wide variety of temp specs.
Some will be fine at a scorching 180 deg C
(that is 80 deg above water boiling temp!)
while others won't last long at such a temp.
So, the spec sheet is where you need to go.
After that, measure the actual temp to see
if you have a problem or not.

I  should look. I thought of spraying water mist on the outside for the magnet 
sake , but what temp does laquer or plastic insulation melt. ?

A very thin coat of flat black paint might help to keep it cooler, if it 
isn't already black.

 How will a person judge when holes will lead to breakage?
any examples of people doing this already ?
