I don't see too much group chatter about conversions, but I'm sure there's still that sort of thing going on. If someone in Florida needs a 2002 Honda glider, there's a free one offered on Craigslist for this area: Free red honda it is broke have title (Deltona) It says Daytona Beach, but it's about 30 miles southwest of Daytona, running down I-4.

Re: [EVDL] EVLN: GM Would Be Smart To Launch An e-Pickup TruckBefore Tesla
To add to David's point: Last Superbowl had an add from one of the "truck" manufacturers, showing side-by side two scenes: Young man standing next to their new model "manly" (oversized) truck and the same young man standing next to a bland family sedan (which could have been an EV). Caption: Who do you find sexier? It had nothing to do with the fact that the sedan is the smarter choice in almost all cases of passenger transport, but the advertisers know that people want a certain image and they play on that image, allowing them to sell the vehicles that make them the most money, not the vehicles that are best for their customers. That is the power of advertising *and* greed.

The major auto manufacturers have all proven that they can make electric vehicles. They know the limitations of what they have produced, how to correct them, and how to manufacture EVs cost effectively. Now they are waiting for somebody to come along and spend the money to create a market. Once that happens, they will all make as many as people will buy. Even Nissan knows how much they make selling EVs compared to ICEVs. EV revenue is insignificant in comparison. No manufacturer is going to spend money creating a market just to watch other manufacturers benefit from their investment. Tesla created a market that didn't exist and isn't big enough for any major manufacturer to notice or care if they do notice. If Tesla creates a market big enough to attract the attention of the major manufacturers, then the major manufacturers will jump in with both feet. One that is late to the game with their own effort will buy what is left of Tesla's auto business. I think Tesla will push its market to the point just below something that will interest major manufacturers. Going further will doom them.

An electric vehicle (EV) was said to be part of the plan previously, but the company said the that the DXP would have no time to stop for a recharge. The cars will have a life span ranging from three to five years, after which it will retire from its position as Domino’s pizza delivery expert. Franchise owners can expect to purchase one at a price of somewhere between USD$20,000 to USD$25,000, while Dominos will fully take on the engineering costs. The company is planning to deliver 100 DXP pizza cars to 25 cities in the US over the next three months. [© 2015 Driven Communications] % ?!Seriously!? The DXP will have to stop to be refilled with pies, the driver take a break, and or be cleaned, etc. Obviously Domino's is very ignorant about EVs and how quick a L3 charge is http://media.gm.com/media/us/en/chevrolet/vehicles/spark-ev/2015.html Domino's had three years to work with GM and others to have this DXP delivery vehicle customized for them (see links below). But the GM vehicle platform they choose was a Spark-ice. Don't be confused by Domino's use of the wording 'purpose-built', when it is actually a low-quantity customizing run of Spark-ice. The reason I post this here is not to promote their ice-choice but to ask why didn't they do it better? Here is a small quantity run (which GM has previous stated there is no money in small quantities), which customises one of their GM vehicles to Domino's spec's. Granted the Spark-ice is a low-cost higher mpg ice, but with all the PR hype on this special-delivery-vehicle to promote Domino's sales, the flashy paint-job self-promoting it, and the other light-show effects built into the vehicle, ... ? Wouldn't it have been prudent to make some sort of effort to Electrify the Domino's delivery vehicle to improve their cleaner-greener creds? Domino's business model still has their drivers' use their own polluting (cheap-n-dirty ice) vehicles to make deliveries. But for those franchises that embrace this new high-mpg DXP vehicle, it would be a less-polluting improvement (but they are not touting that). If Domino's and GM are expending all this effort, ... ? Wouldn't it have been wise to also tap into the PR value of a having your pie delivered by a cleaner-greener Electrified vehicle? Problably the best (and most expensive) way would have been to use Spark EVs, and at the franchise, assign a dedicated delivery EV parking space with a L3 combo EVSE right next to the door for quick charging while also doing a quick refilling the DXP with pies. Since the DXP are franchise owned, going Electric would be less costly than the cost of chemical-fuel used and all the ice-maintenance a Spark-ice would have. Meaning: Electric miles driven is money saved. BTW U.S. prices: Spark-ice $12+k, Spark-EV 25+k. So yea, it would have cost more for each Domino's franchise to go EV. But the more EVs GM sells, the more carbon credits (in certain states) GM can use to sell their ice vehicles. Perhaps GM could have given a discount to Domino's franchises that wanted a customize Spark EV. Looking at the DXP site (URL below) the former front passenger seat area was changed. That space could have been used for a small on-board genset/rex unit similar to what the i3 EV offers as a option. The Domino's franchise would have the EV street creds while ensuring they could make their 80 pie deliveries without a L3 charge, and GM would have the carbon credits they want. But since the purchase price would be more, it is likely Domino's would shoot that Spark-EV idea down as well. A new Chevy Volt pih sells for ~$34+k. So, that also makes it also too expensive for Domino's to consider. And the quantity of these customised Spark-ice is too low for GM to consider modifing the Spark-ice into a cheaper version of a Volt pih. I am going to assume that all of this is just too new, too much, or too costly for Domino's to even consider anyrhing other than an old-school ice-platform (they went cheap). Perhaps if this Domino's Delivery Vehicle translates to more sales, Domino's might spring for offering a Spark-EV on the next-gen Domino's Delivery Vehicle?

What do you do when you’re the biggest parking company in a country where new-car sales have been on a gradual decline for the past decade? Koichi Nishikawa, the president of Japan’s Park24, decided to turn about 7,000 of his company’s 16,435 garages and lots around the country into spaces to hold vehicles available for short-term rental as part of a new car-sharing service.

Vehicles are booked online or using Park24’s smartphone app. Subscribers are charged in 15-minute increments. With 500,000 members, the car-sharing service has become one of the world’s biggest. What’s remarkable is that more than 50 percent of members are in their 20s and 30s. In today’s Japan, many young people aren’t interested in cars because they can’t afford them; they spend disposable income instead on gadgets and smartphones. Twentysomethings accounted for about 13 percent of all driver’s license holders in Japan last year, compared with 21 percent in 2001, according to National Police Agency data. The cheapest car for sale, such as a Daihatsu or Suzuki basic minicar, costs about 800,000 yen ($6,670). The monthly fee for a parking spot in Tokyo runs from 30,000 yen to 50,000 yen. Researcher IHS Automotive forecasts that annual Japanese auto production will shrink to 8.4 million vehicles by 2022, from about 9.2 million last year. Park24 is betting that young people still occasionally need to use cars for shopping, weekend trips, or, perhaps, to impress a date. “In my college days, you couldn’t ask a girl out without a car,” Nishikawa says of the status once bestowed by a set of wheels. He also doesn’t charge college students a monthly fee. The company owns 13,000 vehicles and plans to almost double the size of its fleet, to 25,000, by 2019. It’s one of the biggest buyers of new Japanese vehicles—more than 10,000 cars annually for the sharing business and a car-rental venture it acquired in 2009. It commands 70 percent of Japan’s car-share market. Yu Makisumi is a typical Japanese twentysomething, intent on looking for a job and playing video games but with little interest in cars. “I have never heard of anyone coming to school by car,” he says. He owns a secondhand scooter and likes traveling with it. Four years ago, however, he joined Park24’s service after he and a friend saw a roadside advertisement and his friend encouraged him to sign up. He has a license and knows how to drive (the minimum driving age in Japan is 18). He says Pa

This unique ATV hasthree motor options (4, 15 and 17 kW of continuous power) and a 5.3 kWh battery, good for up to 50 miles (80 km). Peak power of the 17 kW motor is 38 kW, so just 10 kW less than in the Mitsubishi i-MiEV. The result is insane-like acceleration: 0-50 mph in 4.5 seconds. “The Artega brand enters a new vehicle type with the Artega Karo. The new German electric fun mobile combines the benefits of ATVs, jet skis, and motor scooters. The two-seater Artega Karo is a concept vehicle that is prepared for serial production. The racing-car-like chassis, in connection with the direct power of the electrical motor, provides a driving experience that exceeds the proverbial “karting feel”. The Artega Karo accelerates from 0 to 50 mls in under 5 seconds. Beautifully shaped leg shields with integrated reinforcement of high-strength steel optimise safety and splash water protection. The fun factor is increased by a removable sound module with smartphone connection. Bluetooth can be used to play back the desired music from any device (mobile phone, tablet, MP3-player). The Artega Karo’s charging function is a perfect asset as well: The charger and charging cable with a regular protected plug are on board – just like in a vacuum cleaner.” [© insideevs.com] ... http://www.artega.de/en/vehicles/artega-karo/ Artega Karo ... http://ecomento.com/2015/09/25/artega-karo-electric-quad-bike-frankfurt-215/ Artega Karo electric quad bike unveiled in Frankfurt (images) September 25, 2015 ...

[EVDL] EVLN: UK Farmer’s electric e-NV200 way of delivering vegetables
http://nissaninsider.co.uk/farmers-electric-new-way-of-delivering-vegetables/ Farmer’s electric new way of delivering vegetables October 23, 2015 [images http://nissaninsider.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/claremontfarm.jpg Managing Director of Claremont Farm, Andrew Pimbley, with the e-NV200 ] A FARMER has embraced electric motoring as he enjoys a more eco-friendly way of delivering to customers. Nissan Wirral, in Woodchurch Road, has supplied a 100% electric e-NV200 to Claremont Farm in Old Clatterbridge Road, Bebington. The popular farm, shop and restaurant is using the award-winning vehicle – which costs an average of just 2p a mile to run – to deliver vegetable supplies to its customers. Managing Director Andrew Pimbley said: “I get asked a lot about the van by local people when I pop into town to do my deliveries because it’s so quiet. “I’m a complete convert to be honest. At first I didn’t think I’d enjoy the drive, but it’s fantastic. It’s also great that you’re helping the local environment, which – as a farmer – is so important. You can whizz around town knowing you’re not adding to the local air pollution and at the same time it’s costing hardly anything.” The e-NV200 is based on the Nissan NV200 – International Van of the Year 2010 – and utilises the proven technology of the record-breaking Nissan LEAF. In addition to low running costs and emissions, users also benefit from low maintenance costs that make for unrivalled total cost of ownership – £1,200 lower than a conventional diesel van over four years – and an unbeatable proposition for businesses large and small thanks to the unique driving experience of the e-NV200, drivers will feel less fatigued due to the lack of engine vibration in the cabin. Meanwhile, the model, which is priced from £13,568 in panel van form (incorporating PiVG), offers a class-leading 4.2m3 capacity and an impressive 703kg payload. Michael Griffiths, Sales Controller at Nissan Wirral, said: “We’re delighted that Claremont Farm has adopted electric motoring. The family-run firm can see the clear benefits of the e-NV200 – it’s low cost running costs and maintenance means it’s a great way save money which means can they spend money on other areas of the business.” [© 2015 Nissan Insider] For EVLN EV-newswire posts use: http://evdl.org/evln/ {brucedp.150m.com} -- View this message in context: http://electric-vehicle-discussion-list.413529.n4.nabble.com/EVLN-UK-Farmer-s-electric-e-NV200-way-of-delivering-vegetables-tp4678315.html Sent from the Electric Vehicle Discussion List mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ UNSUBSCRIBE: http://www.evdl.org/help/index.html#usub http://lists.evdl.org/listinfo.cgi/ev-evdl.org Read EVAngel's EV News at http://evdl.org/evln/ Please discuss EV drag racing at NEDRA (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NEDRA)
[EVDL] EVLN: Queen'sU DeLorean EV unveiled on 'Back to the Future' Day
'A free DeLorean ride from Lyft was given on 10/21/2015' http://www.irishnews.com/arts/film/2015/10/19/news/-electric-delorean-unveiled-on-back-to-the-future-day-299092/ 'Electric' DeLorean unveiled on Back to the Future Day 19 October, 2015 [images http://www.irishnews.com/picturesarchive/irishnews/irishnews/2015/10/19/154217178-2bbfa4b4-1bda-4690-ae12-7f56a35a21dc.jpg Queen's University Belfast are to unveil a hi-tech electrical DeLorean ] A HI-TECH electrical version of the DeLorean car is to be unveiled in Belfast to mark the 30th anniversary of Back To The Future. The film franchise has ensured the cars retain a cult following after hero Marty McFly used one to travel back in time. He accidentally transported himself 30 years into the past, to 1955, when his parents were in high school. Marty's interference with his parents' love story intervened with the chances of his own birth, pushing him to do anything to get back "home" to 1985. Queen's University Belfast will unveil its electric DeLorean on Wednesday October 21, the exact date that McFly travelled to in the film's 1989 sequel, Back to the Future II. Dr David Laverty, who leads the project, said the project was about modifying a car into an electric vehicle, but staff and students "wanted to do it in style". "The DeLorean was the obvious choice because of its strong connection to Belfast and its starring role in the Back To The Future movies," he said. He said in the future more energy would come from renewable electricity. "The electrification of transport is a major global challenge, so projects like the Queen's Electric DeLorean are crucial in equipping young engineers with the knowledge and expertise to build the electric vehicles of the future," Dr Laverty added. The DeLorean's silver gull-wing door design was immortalised by the 1985 Hollywood film starring Michael J Fox a few years after the collapse of the original manufacturing firm in the north. When Back To The Future hit cinemas in 1985, it raked in millions of pounds in ticket sales, became the highest-grossing film of the year and landed a sound effects editing Academy Award and three more nominations. The first film was released in 1985, three years after the closure of the original factory in Belfast. Fewer than 9,000 cars had rolled off the production line at the Dunmurry plant. Dr Laverty added: "The DeLorean was in a poor state of repair when we took ownership in January 2014, and since then our students have worked with experts within Queen's Electrical Energy laboratory - one of the few university facilities in the UK dedicated to teaching and research of electrical generators and motors - to develop the car's hi-tech electric engine."
