[EVDL] PM motor question
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?

[EVDL] Bolt EVs on order ... ($1k to get in line for a piece of the GM action)
In reference to Ed's post http://electric-vehicle-discussion-list.413529.n4.nabble.com/GM-Killed-The-Bolt-Electric-Car-GM-only-selling-Bolt-in-CA-OR-tp4684542p4684562.html >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 ... http://world.honda.com/history/challenge/1988evplus/ 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.

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

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

[EVDL] Elon Musk says Trump presidency won't hurt Tesla - here's why
"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 ...
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. -- View this message in context: http://electric-vehicle-discussion-list.413529.n4.nabble.com/GM-Killed-The-Bolt-Electric-Car-GM-only-selling-Bolt-in-CA-OR-tp4684542p4684555.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)
Re: [EVDL] GM Killed The (Bolt) Electric Car : GM only sellingBolt in CA ...
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.

Re: [EVDL] GM Killed The (Bolt) Electric Car : GM only sellingBolt in CA ...
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. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_emission_standards Peri -- Original Message -- From: "Cor van de Water via EV" <ev@lists.evdl.org> To: "Electric Vehicle Discussion List" <ev@lists.evdl.org> Cc: Sent: 20-Nov-16 8:50:14 AM Subject: Re: [EVDL] GM Killed The (Bolt) Electric Car : GM only sellingBolt in CA ...
