[EVDL] PM motor question

2016-11-20 Thread Alan Arrison via EV

OK you motor gurus. My Gast vacuum pump quit working.

Upon disassembly, I found the two curved ceramic field magnets were 
detached from the motor housing.


Needless to say, the motor would not turn with the magnets stuck to the 
rotor.


I cannot tell by looking at the inside of the motor housing exactly 
where the magnets were positioned.


I am going to guess that it makes a difference where the magnets are 
positioned in relationship to where the motor brushes are positioned.


So, if a line is drawn through the center of the two diametrically 
opposed field magnets, should a line drawn between the opposed


brushes be inline or perpendicular to the line through the magnets?

Thanks for your help, Al

[EVDL] Bolt EVs on order ... ($1k to get in line for a piece of the GM action)

2016-11-20 Thread brucedp5 via EV


In reference to Ed's post

>I put a deposit down on a BoltEV at my local Chevrolet dealer. I'm told
they are expecting 100 to be delivered beginning next week (after
Thanksgiving)<


I think it will be interesting to know how that experience went from a
driver's perspective. Also to know:
-dealership support
-Bolt forum (which one is better, GM notes& letters only owners will get,
etc.)
-compatibility issues charging with various EVSE
-how well or badly GM's guessometer is (% or bars?)
-hidden costs (regular maintenance required to keep warranty?, special
tires- lrr?, etc.)
-online upgrades (does GM do over the air software upgrades in the same way
(can drivers opt to postpone, or block an upgrade if later it is found to be
harmful or leaves driver in a worse state that before the upgrade, etc.)

-and any other issues that differentiate the Bolt EV experience from other
EVs.


Ed's comment about the HMC EV-plus reminded me of way back when I signed my
life away to have one for a couple of days to promote it at local shows. I
took as many people as I could for rides in it. Even with my type of normal
size (larger than munchkins) I remember I was more comfortable in it than
today's roomy Soul EV (of course way back then I was skinnier& younger).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honda_EV_Plus
The Honda EV Plus was the first battery electric vehicle from a major
automaker with non-lead acid batteries. Roughly 340 EV Plus models were
produced and ...

This was before HMC took all of those EVs back to shred them. So, for those
two days I felt I was living the EV life as it was meant to be (it felt like
it was the year 2010+). I did not bother L1 charging at home, as L2-6kW
charging was a breeze at work. An EVII ICS-200 Avcon EVSE had been installed
at Bldg 42 (rip, the hp Cupertino site 11+ bldgs were sold& demolished for

Re: [EVDL] GM Killed The (Bolt) Electric Car

2016-11-20 Thread Cor van de Water via EV
Solar and Wind are already cheaper than Coal in many areas
(solar not so much in Alaska, but pretty much in most southern states)
so even if forces that be want to push coal, it is a losing proposition
against the already-cheaper-and-getting-cheaper-every-year renewable
energy.

Wouldn't it be most ironical if within a few years EVs will be winning,
not because the powers that be are concerned about emissions, but simply
because oil is a losing proposition against the economic power of
electric drivetrains? 
One can dream of a vision that allows us to move in the right direction,
even under the yoke of powers that want to move in the opposite
direction...

Note that the two countries that contain 1/3 of the world population
China and India are in dire need to get off of coal as they are choking
on the bad consequences of burning that much coal, that is why solar and
even EVs are getting so much promotion in those locations. The solar war
is pretty much won in that the price is low enough, they just need to
install more of it. EVs are following not because they are cheaper or
simpler, but simply because they are getting sick of the pollution
levels, similar to how choking smog in places like Los Angeles led
California to implement very strict emissions rules. Sometimes it has to
get bad before it gets better, because people wisen up when it starts
hurting...

I wouldn't go so far as to say "irrelevant," because the US is (at least
for 
the moment) a pretty large market for new vehicles.  But it's far from
the 
only market.  Vehicle demand is trending up in places we would have
called 
"third world" just a few years ago, and some of those places think that
EVs 
might be a good idea.

It's possible that success in rolling back EV demand in the US might
prompt 
the automakers to try similar strategies in other countries. Some of
them 
will no doubt be open to it.  Early UK legislative proposals after the 
"Brexit" vote had to do with weakening environmental laws, some of which

were originally passed to comply with EU regulations.

That is likely to spread.  Radical political changes have already taken 
place in Hungary and Poland.  "Brexit" style changes are also somwhere 
between possible and likely over the next few elections in France,
Austria, 
Germany, Netherlands, and Sweden.  We could see the weakening or even
the 
complete breakup of the EU.  That would be a dismaying setback for 
environmental law and for EVs.

I guess this all sounds kind of dire (just call me Mr Worst Case
Scenario), 
but still my hope is that EVs are close to some kind of critical mass 
internationally.

If that's true, EVs WILL be manufactured around the world.  Despite Elon

Musk's confidence it's still a tough slog for a small upstart automaker 
(look what happened to Pivco / Think), so let's hope the EV
manufacturers' 
list continues to include Tesla.

Which of these EVs are offered in the US will depend on many factors,
from 
perceived demand and profitability to impending US protectionism and 
economic isolation. For example, tightening US FMVSS while loosening 
emissions regulations would favor large US ICEVs at the expense of
imports, 
smaller vehicles, and EVs.

I think that's likely, but who knows when?  OPEC was pretty successful
in 
throttling the US with their oil blockade, but that was 40+ years ago,
and 
our petroleum sources are more diverse now.  There's also that
protectionist 
sentiment I mentioned above.  

OTOH, big energy companies already have plenty of market control, and I
sure 
don't see that diminishing.  I can imagine an internal US version of
OPEC, 
or an Enron style cartel, manufacturing an artifical fuel shortage for
the 
sake of their profits, just as well as I can imagine an actual depletion
of 
reserves.

Also, weakening US MPG and energy efficiency requirements could trigger a 
small orgy of energy consumption here.  That would hasten the "day of 
petroleum reckoning."  (It would also be pretty bad news for the rest of the 
world.)

Interesting times, indeed.

Re: [EVDL] GM Killed The (Bolt) Electric Car : GM only sellingBolt in CA ...

2016-11-20 Thread Peter Eckhoff via EV
When you consider that Exxon Mobile, in their 2016 World Energy Outlook: 
A View to 2040, (ref: 
http://cdn.exxonmobil.com/~/media/global/files/outlook-for-energy/2016/2016-outlook-for-energy.pdf) 
on page 62 of 80, has a graph that clearly shows conventional oil 
production peaked in 2005.  The graph also shows a combination of 
Conventional, New conventional, Deepwater, Oil sands and Tight oil 
peaking in production around 2040, it seems very short sighted not to 
develop EVs (or alternative fuel sourced vehicles).  2040 is only 23 
years away and fleet turnover is roughly once every 16 years.  Also, the 
remaining oil reserves are more expensive to develop.  How people get 
around after the peak in 2040 is something I think GM would want a share 
of that market or they grow irrelevant.


The other possibility is that someone has or is close to storing 
hydrogen absorbed in a solid (or liquid) material for later release 
under heat, pressure, or sound.  GM would then be hedging their bets.  
Has anybody read of any recent developments?


Tom is likely on to something.  Increasing the range of an EV from 80 
miles to 238 is a significant development and there maybe problems as 
Tom listed especially if it was done by increasing the Whr/kg energy 
density.


On 11/20/16, 1:10 PM, tomw via EV wrote:

A few possible reasons for the slowed introduction of the Bolt:

1) LG Chem has had a glitch in increasing battery production so cannot
supply the planned quantities in the required time frame.

2) GM has discovered some problems with the Bolt which they do not want to
advertise, but need to delay production to implement improvements.

3) GM (or LG Chem) has discovered some ways to significantly reduce
production costs and want get these designed in and implemented before
producing significant product quantity.

4) GM wants to gain field experience with Bolt ownership in a limited way to
see what issues arise to limit warranty/recall costs.

Having worked in product development quite a few years I have personally
experienced analogs of all of these.  But, people like to speculate and
believe what they want to believe.  Only time will tell.

[EVDL] Elon Musk says Trump presidency won't hurt Tesla - here's why

2016-11-20 Thread Rush Dougherty via EV
"But Musk said eliminating ZEV credits, if it should ever happen, would actually
improve Tesla's competitive position in the market."

http://www.businessinsider.com/elon-musk-trump-decision-on-electric-car-incentiv
es-wont-hurt-tesla-2016-11

Well it looks like Musk thinks that Tesla is going to be immune to Trumps
potential moves against the EV, even if the ZEV credits are eliminated.

The article also states 'The mandate has been adopted by nine other states, such
as Maryland and Maine", which seems at odds with Peri's Wikipedia link that
cites '13 plus DC' have adopted the California standards.

While the article is not really an in-depth one, it does give Musk's thoughts
about ZEV and Trump, which are worth reading.

I've decided to be selfish on this issue. I put a deposit down on a BoltEV at 
my local Chevrolet dealer. I'm told they are expecting 100 to be delivered 
beginning next week (after Thanksgiving).

As I understand it, GM will be selling the BoltEV. I will not lease it. After 
my experience leasing the Honda EVPlus from 1997 to 2003, I will never lease a 
vehicle again, or purchase a Honda.  The EVPlus was an incredible car though. 
It was a way better electric vehicle than my 2011 Leaf.

Re: [EVDL] GM Killed The (Bolt) Electric Car : GM only sellingBolt in CA ...

2016-11-20 Thread tomw via EV
A few possible reasons for the slowed introduction of the Bolt:

1) LG Chem has had a glitch in increasing battery production so cannot
supply the planned quantities in the required time frame.

2) GM has discovered some problems with the Bolt which they do not want to
advertise, but need to delay production to implement improvements.

3) GM (or LG Chem) has discovered some ways to significantly reduce
production costs and want get these designed in and implemented before
producing significant product quantity.

4) GM wants to gain field experience with Bolt ownership in a limited way to
see what issues arise to limit warranty/recall costs.

Having worked in product development quite a few years I have personally
experienced analogs of all of these.  But, people like to speculate and
believe what they want to believe.  Only time will tell.

2016-11-20 Thread Mike Nickerson via EV
I think that Tesla is the market dynamic that makes this round different.  Even 
if all other manufacturers pull back from selling electric vehicles, Tesla will 
still be there them.  They are all in on EVs.  

I'm still surprised that the other manufacturers would cede the business to 
Tesla so easily, but that lookalike what GM just did.  They really must not 
believe that EVs are the future of transportation.  That leaves Tesla to drive 
the market.

I wish that there were other manufacturers taking active part, because Tesla 
has a long way to go and their finances are tight, but I am really glad they 
are trying like they are.

2016-11-20 Thread Peri Hartman via EV
It does seem to be more than a coincidence. But part of the reason could 
be the realization of an enormously challenging rollout. After all, they 
are trying to do what Tesla is doing in about a third the time.


Not only that, but there are 13 states plus DC which have adopted CARB. 
Unless the EPA is significantly overruled, I don't think GM cannot 
ignore that.

Mark,

I share the hope.
But I am also wondering why GM suddenly changed their roll-out strategy
significantly (reducing it and making it much more non-committal) just
days after the surprising outcome of the elections. Hard to believe 
that

is a coincidence.
And that coupled to the automaker lobbying efforts already under way to

History tells us that -- for better and/or worse -- what governments do

makes a big difference in whether EVs advance or retreat.

Bruce is 100% correct that GM's specific history predicts their current
and
future involvement with EVs.  As I said a couple of weeks ago, I'm 
still


waiting for that Chevette EV that GM promised in 1978.  I guess I'll be

waiting a lot longer.

(Disclosure: That's a rhetorical statement.  Personally, I wouldn't buy
any
GM vehicle at any price under any circumstances.  Also, having known
someone
who owned a 1980 Chevette: yikes, noo  ... )

All that said, unless the state or fed legislators make it illegal, the
sure
way to drive electric is and probably aways will be to build your own.

Normally that would entail converting an ICEV.

I think I can safely say that EV conversion has been the EVDL's largest
and
most critical mission since it was first launched at sjsu.edu 25 years
ago.
If and when no automaker will sell you an EV here in the US, or you

History tells us that -- for better and/or worse -- what governments do  
makes a big difference in whether EVs advance or retreat.  
 
Bruce is 100% correct that GM's specific history predicts their current and  
future involvement with EVs.  As I said a couple of weeks ago, I'm still  
waiting for that Chevette EV that GM promised in 1978.  I guess I'll be  
waiting a lot longer.   
 
(Disclosure: That's a rhetorical statement.  Personally, I wouldn't buy any  
GM vehicle at any price under any circumstances.  Also, having known someone  
who owned a 1980 Chevette: yikes, noo  ... ) 
 
All that said, unless the state or fed legislators make it illegal, the sure  
way to drive electric is and probably aways will be to build your own.   
Normally that would entail converting an ICEV. 
 
I think I can safely say that EV conversion has been the EVDL's largest and  
most critical mission since it was first launched at sjsu.edu 25 years ago.   
If and when no automaker will sell you an EV here in the US, or you can't  
get the type of vehicle you need with a motor under the hood, drop on by the  
EVDL.  We'll be here to help.
