REUTERS/Lucy Nicholson 16 Oct 2018 ] Tesla Inc Chief Executive Officer Elon Musk said a new chip that improves autopilot features would be available six months in advance to people who ordered the full self-driving version of the electric cars. REUTERS: Tesla Inc Chief Executive Officer Elon Musk said a new chip that improves autopilot features would be available in about six months in all of the company's new production electric cars. In a series of tweets http://bit.ly/2QRIzAt, Musk said ..."~6 months before it is in all new production cars. No change to sensors. This is simple replacement of the Autopilot computer. Will be done free of charge for those who ordered full self-driving." Musk also tweeted that the new chip would improve the performance of Tesla's Autopilot between 500 percent and 2000 percent. He said the installation of the chip would be priced at US$5,000 for those who did not order full self-driving. Tesla's autopilot is a driver assistance system that handles some driving tasks and allows drivers to take their hands off the wheel. Tesla says drivers are supposed to keep their hands on the wheel at all times when using the system.

Now the driver has taken the world record for speed in reverse gear at 210 km/h. As we previously reported, the German engineering and manufacturing group was already familiar with the Formula E motor through its involvement with Audi’s Formula E team. But they went to a whole new level by putting four of them in a single car, each of which provides a power output of 220 kW. It is also equipped with two battery packs with an overall capacity of 64 kWh for a modest range, but it’s enough for Schaeffler to perform its tests and blow away any driver or passenger. Over the past few weeks, they have partnered with Daniel Abt, a German race driver competing in Formula E, to test the vehicle. Last month, he did what he called ‘the hottest donut ever’ with the all-electric vehicle. Now he attempted to break the world record for speed in reverse gear at 210 km/h. Here you can watch the impressive video of the record (German): Here are some specs that Schaeffler released about the vehicle: Motors from the Abt Schaeffler FE01 Formula E racing car (season II) Integration of four electric motors with a power output of 220 kW each (Pmax) Overall power output of 880 kW (approx. 1,200 PS) MGU with 320 Nm of peak torque From 0 to 200 km/h in less than 7 seconds Selective wheel drive Battery capacity: 64 kWh Concept and overall vehicle design: Schaeffler Technologies Overall design and manufacturing of the gearbox: Schaeffler Engineering Vehicle design: Schaeffler Technologies & ABT Sportsline Motor and gearbox efficiency of approx. 95 percent under full-load conditions [© electrek.co] + https://www.cnet.com/roadshow/news/morgan-3-wheeler-ev3-dead/ RIP Morgan EV3, the electric 3-Wheeler of our dreams ctober 11, 2018 The Morgan Three-Wheeler is what's known, in highly technical terms, as a Really Cool Car.

Harley-Davidson says it will release five electric vehicles between 2019 and 2022, from a lightweight e-bicycle (pictured below) to a series of electric motorbikes. The iconic American company confirms its e-bikes will be released in New Zealand. An exact release date is pending, but the Herald was curious how followers of the legendary brand would react to its latest product. Read more: Harley-Davidson departs from tried and ture with bold EV plans [ https://www.driven.co.nz/news/news/harley-davidson-departs-from-the-tried-and-true/ ] Greg Ogg, an alumnus of the Auckland chapter of the Harley Owners Group (HOG), says Harley owners stratify into three groups: outlaw bikers, social riders and an "emerging riders" category that includes retired people and a growing number of women. "I can't see the outlaws grasping e-bikes with both hands, to be honest," Ogg says. He thinks the company might have more luck with social and emerging riders, who he's picking might buy the e-bike as a second vehicle. Harley-Davidson has not released tech specs for its LiveWire electric motorcycle (pictured below) but an early prototype managed 0 - 60 miles per hour (95.6 km/h) in four seconds thanks to the lack of gears and instant torque. Its range on one charge was around 100km - similar to NZ's home-grown Ubco. While the acceleration might be impressive, another HOG enthusiast, Auckland man Kevin McIntyre, says noise is important to hardcore bikers, leaving the silent-running LiveWire with zero appeal. Stats NZ says 27,646 e-bikes and e-scooters were imported in the year to June 2018, a big jump on the 11,424 brought into the country in 2016. Bikes International MD Craig Robertson - who bills his company as NZ's largest bike importer - says e-bikes are rising fast. While his company is not in line to sell Harley's e-bike, he says it could do well given that there is a blizzard of no-name brands on the market. Consumers are looking for brands they can trust, and resellers for manufacturers they know will hold true to warranties, he says. Harley hasn't released tech specs and pricing for its most basic e-bike yet. Robertson says basic models sell for around $1800, with the sweet spot being around $3500 to $4500. Top-of-the-line models sell for up to $17,000. Why is Harley Davidson moving into e-bikes? ...

We had some insight into the problems at Azure… Expanding into Europe seemed like a pretty good idea under the circumstances (the gliders were coming from Turkey, for instance), and I don’t know about lavish trips, that may well have been the case, but I don’t think would have been a big deal relative to the big-picture problem. Fundamentally, the problem was that Ford was both their monopoly supplier and their monopsony customer, Ford knew that and left a relatively small margin for Azure, but sufficient margin _if you were as competent and knowledgeable as Ford_. But Azure was new, didn’t really know what they were doing yet, and was simultaneously getting screwed by their other supplier, Siemens. So they got a lot of orders from Ford, bought a lot of gliders and the parts to convert them, had supply-chain problems with Siemens and growing pains with scaling up production internally, which meant that they were tying up more and more money in parts sitting on the shelf and in not-yet-complete vans, and getting very little money back from completing and shipping vehicles. Eventually that killed them. Too much money in inventory, too much money going out to buy more inventory, not enough cash coming in from sales, even through there was an already-booked-sale for every new glider they bought. Viewed a different way, average-time-to-produce-a-van kept getting longer, rather than shorter, and that (quite reasonably) wasn’t part of the business plan. -Bill ___ UNSUBSCRIBE: http://www.evdl.org/help/index.html#usub http://lists.evdl.org/listinfo.cgi/ev-evdl.org Please discuss EV drag racing at NEDRA (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NEDRA)

Re: [EVDL] Why I Won't Buy a Tesla, Edison-Tesla Deja Vu [Free Supercharging!]
Prices are posted at https://www.tesla.com/support/supercharging Some states are per kWh, others are per minute (with different rates for above or below 60 kW charging rates). Some existing cars are grandfathered into unlimited transferrable free supercharging for the life of the vehicle, depending on when it was ordered. That includes all 2016 and earlier cars, and a few built early in 2017 that were ordered before Jan 15, 2017. Some owners are grandfathered into unlimited nontransferrable free supercharging for the duration of their ownership of the S/X/3P car they bought via referral later in 2017 or up until a few weeks ago in 2018. Those offers are no longer active. From that page: Below are additional program details which apply to Tesla vehicles under the Supercharger program. - Model S and X receive 400 kWh (~1,000 miles) of Supercharger credits annually. - - For usage above the complimentary annual credits provided, a small fee applies. - Model 3 does not receive annual Supercharger credits, and a small fee applies to Supercharge. - In North America, pricing is fixed within each state or province. Internationally, pricing is fixed within each country. All prices include taxes and fees. - Where possible, owners are billed per kWh (kilowatt-hour), which is the most fair and simple method. In other areas, we bill for the service per minute. - When billing per minute, there are two tiers to account for changes in charging speeds, called “tier 1” and “tier 2”. - Tier 1 applies while cars are charging at or below 60 kW and tier 2 applies while cars are charging above 60 kW. Tier 1 is half the cost of tier 2. - Tier 1 also applies anytime your vehicle is sharing Supercharger power with another car. - Supercharger pricing information may be viewed on the touchscreen and is summarized below. Supercharging is simple and convenient—just plug in and charge up. Supercharging history is automatically populated in your Tesla Account showing the credits used or, if applicable, the amount billed. Tesla is committed to ensuring that Supercharger will never be a profit center.

Re: [EVDL] Why I Won't Buy a Tesla, Edison-Tesla Deja Vu [Free Supercharging!]
My understanding is that the cost to use the supercharger network à la carte is relatively reasonable (price wise) when compared to buying gasoline for a trip of a similar distance. Perhaps somebody with a Tesla that doesn't come with free supercharging can report on the prices?

Re: [EVDL] Why I Won't Buy a Tesla, Edison-Tesla Deja Vu
https://www.quora.com/How-much-does-it-actually-cost-to-make-a-car The upshot of all of this is that cars don't make a huge amount of profit. The industry average is around 5% consolidated operating profit. That is, by the time all costs are paid you make 5% profit on the factory gate price. Small cars are frequently sold at a loss. Larger cars tend to be lower volume but make higher margins. SUVs and crossovers are generally high margin and support loss making cars for the manufacturers. SUVs, crossovers and financing make most of the money for the manufacturers.

Zap. That’s the sound of the majority of taxpayers being shocked at the tax credits that electric car buyers continue to receive — a credit that may be extended as part of a tax-extenders package during the lame-duck session of Congress. The policy began under Bush and continued under Obama. Then President Bush signed into law in 2008 a credit of up to $7,500-per-vehicle for the first 250,000 electric vehicles purchased in the market. Obama boosted the program further during his stimulus package, providing the credit to the first 200,000 electric vehicles sold by each manufacturer in the U.S. As some of the biggest brands such as Tesla are exceeding that 200,000 milestone, Congress is considering continuing the credit even farther under President Trump. Pacific Research Institute, a California-based free-market think tank, dubs the credit “costly subsidies for the rich” because 79 percent of the credits were claimed by households making adjusted gross incomes of more than $100,000 per year. All but 1 percent of the credits were used by households with annual incomes exceeding $50,000. “When politicians talk about the need to subsidize costly electric cars, they fail to tell you that the hundreds of millions of dollars of subsidies that taxpayers are paying for are just another giveaway to the wealthy,” said Wayne Winegarden, the institute’s senior fellow in business and economics and author of a recent study on the issue. “Taxpayers should start asking elected officials what benefit we are getting from these expensive subsidies that only benefit upper-income households.” Windegarden found that the total value of federal manufacturing grants and loans over the lifetime of the credit is nearly $41 billion, and that some states such as California offer additional credits that can add up to more than $13,000 per car. He argues that there wouldn’t be mass demand for electric vehicles “without government playing car salesman.” “If government wants to encourage an electric car future, it should embrace the free market and remove the barriers to cheap and efficient car manufacturing that drive up costs too high for most drivers,” Winegarden said. U.S. Sen. John Barrasso, R-Wyoming, is turning the wheel in the other direction, having introduced “The Fairness for Every Driver Act” that would repeal the credit. Barrasso’s legislation would also mandate that alternative fuel vehicle operators pay into the Highway Trust Fund via a fee. Drivers of electric and hybrid vehicles currently get a pass on that gas tax. That’s an important component of the bill since the revenue from that fund is already stretched thin to pay for repairing the nation’s crumbling roads and bridges. “My legislation levels the playing field for all drivers across America,” said Barrasso, who chairs the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works. “Gas, electric and alternative fuel vehicles use the same roads.” The Manhattan Institute estimated eliminating the credit and implementing the fee would save taxpayers who don’t drive such vehicles about $20 billion over the next 10 years. The legislation, S.3559, was read twice on Oct. 6 after its introduction and referred to the Senate Committee on Finance. David Williams, president of Taxpayers Protection Alliance, called the bill “long overdue.” [© spectator.org] https://transportationtodaynews.com/news/10986-measure-targets-electric-vehicle-tax-credit-termination/ Measure targets electric vehicle tax credit termination October 15, 2018 “The electric vehicle tax credit largely benefits the wealthiest Americans and costs taxpayers billions of dollars,” Barrasso, who introduced the Fairness for Every ... https://mk0transport52vcefl5.kinstacdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/electric-car-1458836_960_720.jpg For EVLN EV-newswire posts use: http://evdl.org/archive/ {brucedp.neocities.org} -- Sent from: http://electric-vehicle-discussion-list.413529.n4.nabble.com/ ___ UNSUBSCRIBE: http://www.evdl.org/help/index.html#usub http://lists.evdl.org/listinfo.cgi/ev-evdl.org Please discuss EV drag racing at NEDRA (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NEDRA)

This month, Ford started assembly on a specialized electric delivery van it calls the "Deutsche Post StreetScooter WORK XL" at its factory in Cologne, Germany. The Transit chassis-based van features an electric drivetrain designed by StreetScooter, an EV company also based in Germany. According to a release from Ford, the WORK XL transits are all destined to serve as parcel shipping vehicles for Deutsche Post DHL, the current owner of StreetScooter. “With Ford, we have found the ideal partner who understands our flexible and customer-oriented way of production. Together, we are promoting electromobility in Germany and making inner?city delivery traffic more environmentally friendly and quieter," said StreetScooter CEO Dr. Achim Kampker. "With the new WORK XL StreetScooter, we now have the perfect e-van for parcel delivery in metropolitan areas, which in the future will also benefit other transport companies.” Ford states that its assigned around 180 employees with the task of producing sixteen examples of the WORK XL per day, and up to 3,500 vehicles in one year. As the vans roll out of the plant, they will be utilized by DHL drivers across Germany. For this purpose, the vehicle offers up more than 700 cubic feet of cargo space, and will be able to carry a 2,800 pound load up to 120 miles on a single charge. These numbers are achieved thanks to 76 kilowatt-hour lithium-ion batteries supplied by StreetScooter. The batteries power a motor sending 120 horspower and 200 pound-feet of torque to the rear wheels. Ford also estimates that replacing diesel vans with its electric equivalent will save an average of 500 gallons of fuel per vehicle, per year. While the WORK XL is currently only available to DHL within Germany, "The future availability of the electric van to third-party customers is under consideration."

Re: [EVDL] Why I Won't Buy a Tesla
Now that I have calmed down and thought about everything I now realize that what we have been doing for decades in car culture terms is restomoding. A restomod is a vehicle that has been restored and modified. Example: A 350 Chevy in a Mustang. Distained by some in the car community but functional and exciting for the owner. . One of the best in the electric vehicle community was John Wayland. Blue Meanie comes to mind. Well engineered, a practical one shot EV which he eventually got to a hundred mile range. However John had to go to great lengths to quickly charge Meanie. No way it is coming down the coast to California quickly. No fast charger. However if the vehicle is light and the pack is small it might be possible to quickly charge using J1772. But I digress slightly. After having a few factory EVs I can confidently say that no one I know can even come close to that kind of performance the way we have been doing our builds. Level 3 charging. I can take a 24 kw Leaf from San Diego to San Francisco. So the future of our restomoding will be taking factory EV parts and using them because like one EV expert said: "We take advantage of the millions of dollars of engineering that goes into a vehicle for our platforms. Now we will take EV drive trains and put them in vehicles of our choice. Or with out the fuss simply buy a Tesla III because it is simply the best car ever engineered. None of us could build that in our garage. Just don't total it and expect to drive it again. That's what insurance is for. Lawrence Rhodes.. happy with my 24 and 30 kw Leafs...goodnuf for now. -- next part -- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

It’s a 72v lithium system with a rear hub motor. As far as I know it’s the only one of its kind in the country (Chile) as it was brought as a demonstrator for a business that ultimately failed. It’s sold with a bunch of different names and I’ve found it’s based on a generic gas scooter. This one has a Zap vin plate riveted in. It has never been registered but I am working of that. I kind of like driving it, but I would like to hack it and reuse the parts to convert a Kawasaki 250 or 300 from gas to ev. Problem is, I now almost nothing about it. Is there some site or sites where I can learn about this Chinese ev setups? Are hub motors interchangeable? I would need to buy a 17” one for the Kawasaki but I would like to reuse all the other parts. Any info and pointers are welcome!

The small company’s next electric vehicle is a pickup truck called the B2, which will offer about three extra feet of length for storing more stuff in the bed. The B2 will be built on the same technological platform as the B1, which means it will feature the same promising specs Bollinger took aim at with last year’s B1. That means it will be powered by a 120kWh battery pack that can last for about 200 miles. Dual motors — one on each axle — combine for around 520 horsepower, and the truck can go from 0–60 mph in less than seven seconds. It will take 75 minutes for a full charge on a DC fast charger, or 10 hours on a Level 2 hookup. Photo: Bollinger Motors That should all be more than enough for the kind of use cases Bollinger Motors imagines for its customers. When the company announced the B1 last summer, it was up front about how this was not an EV for everyone. The same goes for the B2. These are vehicles that are designed to help people do heavy duty work, store and transport lots of material, and go off-road as well. There aren’t a ton of fully electric trucks (or rugged EVs) on the immediate horizon in the auto industry, as automakers seem happier to integrate hybrid versions into their lineups first. Elon Musk has long teased the idea of a Tesla pickup, but the idea has never really come into focus at Tesla. So even though Bollinger is a small outfit, it’s one of just a few companies (like fellow EV startups Rivian and Workhorse) with plans to make an electric truck in the next few years. There are only renderings of the B2 right now (Bollinger built actual working prototypes of the B1), but it will obviously feature the same rugged, riveted, all-metal design as its predecessor. The B1 is supposed to start around $60,000, and Bollinger says it has received 20,000 preorders so far. But the company is still lining up partners to get its first vehicle into production, and the company doesn’t have the same kind of high-profile financial backing that other EV startups boast, so it may be a while before the B2 (or even the B1) ever hits the road. For what it’s worth, Bollinger Motors says to expect production to begin in 2020.

[EVDL] EVLN: Ford 76kWh WORK XL(StreetScooter) e-van> DHL.de-only
http://www.thedrive.com/tech/24151/ford-begins-production-of-electric-delivery-vans-in-germany Ford Begins Production of Electric Delivery Vans in Germany October 10, 2018 Talon Homer [image https://timedotcom.files.wordpress.com/2018/10/slide_021.jpg ] The Transit chassis-based vehicles are being built in partnership with German EV developer StreetScooter. This month, Ford started assembly on a specialized electric delivery van it calls the "Deutsche Post StreetScooter WORK XL" at its factory in Cologne, Germany. The Transit chassis-based van features an electric drivetrain designed by StreetScooter, an EV company also based in Germany. According to a release from Ford, the WORK XL transits are all destined to serve as parcel shipping vehicles for Deutsche Post DHL, the current owner of StreetScooter. “With Ford, we have found the ideal partner who understands our flexible and customer-oriented way of production. Together, we are promoting electromobility in Germany and making inner?city delivery traffic more environmentally friendly and quieter," said StreetScooter CEO Dr. Achim Kampker. "With the new WORK XL StreetScooter, we now have the perfect e-van for parcel delivery in metropolitan areas, which in the future will also benefit other transport companies.” Ford states that its assigned around 180 employees with the task of producing sixteen examples of the WORK XL per day, and up to 3,500 vehicles in one year. As the vans roll out of the plant, they will be utilized by DHL drivers across Germany. For this purpose, the vehicle offers up more than 700 cubic feet of cargo space, and will be able to carry a 2,800 pound load up to 120 miles on a single charge. These numbers are achieved thanks to 76 kilowatt-hour lithium-ion batteries supplied by StreetScooter. The batteries power a motor sending 120 horspower and 200 pound-feet of torque to the rear wheels. Ford also estimates that replacing diesel vans with its electric equivalent will save an average of 500 gallons of fuel per vehicle, per year. While the WORK XL is currently only available to DHL within Germany, "The future availability of the electric van to third-party customers is under consideration."

[EVDL] EVtaxes.br reduced from 25 to 18% in a bid to boost EV use
[ref http://electric-vehicle-discussion-list.413529.n4.nabble.com/EVtax-150yr-75yr-for-pih-hevs-in-MS-v-tp4691385.html ] https://cities-today.com/brazil-to-slash-electric-vehicle-tax/ Brazil to slash electric vehicle tax 15th October 2018 Jonathan Andrews, Manuel Manrique [image https://cities-today.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/9824772134_5619f0a9ae_k.jpg ] The Brazilian government is hoping the tax cut will increase EV sales Brazil will reduce taxes on mass-produced electric vehicles (EVs) from 25 percent to 18 percent in a bid to boost e-bike, EV and other electric and hybrid vehicle use. Due to come into force in November, the national government is hoping the cut will boost stagnant EV sales and improve electric urban mobility in a country which only sold 1,472 electric vehicle units in the first six months of 2018. Currently the most affordable EV on the market costs US$30,300. “The market will be in charge of stabilising prices but the government should reduce taxes on cars that don’t pollute the environment or produce noise, and stimulate the necessary infrastructure to circulate and regulate energy planning,” said Danilo Leite, Manager of Strategy and Innovation, CPFL Energia Group. He said there is hope that Brazil can turn the figures around, pointing to the example of France, which went from just 26 EV charging points in 2010 to 10,000 five years later. Leite’s comments came during the fourth edition of the Connected Smart Cities conference in São Paulo which brought together mayors, entrepreneurs, researchers, private sector representatives and users of public and alternative transport. For the Director of Marketing, Sustainability and New Business of BYD, Adalberto Maluf, the growth of the electric vehicle market will move gradually into municipality fleets. In Brazil, the Chinese company has two factories; one in Manaus, where batteries are manufactured, and another in Campinas, where the country’s first electric vehicle was manufactured. Adalberto Maluf, Director of Marketing, Sustainability and New Business, BYD “We are in Brasilia and four other medium-sized cities producing garbage trucks and electric compactors,” said Maluf. “In São José dos Campos, in the interior of São Paulo, 100 percent of the Municipal Guard’s fleet uses electric cars, which have a 400-kilometre range and don’t pollute.” Hoping to latch onto an electric mobility wave is the first Brazilian company that provides e-bikes. Launched in São Paulo in 2015 with 10 bicycles, E-Moving now counts 500 in its fleet. “When I changed the car for the common bicycle to get to work I saw that it was better because it saved time and money, but I was sweating,” said Gabriel Arcon, CEO and co-founder of E-Moving. “After learning about the e-bike, it was love at first pedal and I didn’t imagine that I would abandon the real estate business to start the first rental and sale system of this type of bike in the country.” Clarisse Cunha Linke, Executive Director of the Institute for Transportation and Development Policy although welcoming AVs and ride sharing services, warned that substantial changes at the policy level still needed to be made. “For a long time, cities have been built for cars and not for people,” she said. “Motorisation rates have tripled in the last ten years, so we need to invert the pyramid of our public policies and our investments to give priority to public transport, the infrastructure for mobility by bicycle and on foot.” [© cities-today.com] For EVLN EV-newswire posts use: http://evdl.org/archive/ {brucedp.neocities.org} -- Sent from: http://electric-vehicle-discussion-list.413529.n4.nabble.com/ ___ UNSUBSCRIBE: http://www.evdl.org/help/index.html#usub http://lists.evdl.org/listinfo.cgi/ev-evdl.org Please discuss EV drag racing at NEDRA (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NEDRA)
