Re: [EVDL] Hardware for my trike electrification. Still need batteries charger and bms.

2018-11-20 Thread Chris Tromley via EV
Not sure what the laws are in California, but this vehicle will not qualify
as a 'bicycle' (three wheels or less) in legal terms.  750 W is the limit
for that.  I'm guessing it will be considered a moped, not sure what that
means WRT licensing, insurance, helmet requirements, etc.

When you say the modules are in the open air, I hope you mean in an
insulated box.  Having any airflow through a somewhat shielded enclosure
will have them covered in dust, condensation, insect nests, etc., all of
which can lead to ground faults.  This will be an interesting vehicle and
therefore an 'attractive nuisance' (look it up) in terms of liability,
should anyone touch it while it's charging.

What was the charger company that Roger Stockton worked for?  Didn't they
make up to 72 V chargers with a fat enough amp output to be useful for a
biggish pack?

Should be a lot of fun.  Good luck with it.  Be careful in traffic - I'm
sure you're already aware of the "eyeball to sidewall" perspective and what
it means for visibility.

Re: [EVDL] Ghosn out

2018-11-20 Thread Mark Abramowitz via EV
That’s possible, but I doubt it.

Many of the OEMs are pushing hard on their development efforts, and Nissan is 
ahead of most of them.

They are also doing a lot in fuel cell work, so I see them continuing to press 
for zero emission vehicles. I’ve said it before, and I still believe it - we’re 
at or past the tipping point.

France´s finance minister has said Carlos Ghosn cannot remain in charge of 
Renault, after the leading figure in the global car industry was arrested on 
Monday by Japanese prosecutors. [...]

Ghosn is accused of having understated his income and was exposed by a 
whistleblower in a move that shocked the automotive industry. [...]

On Monday, Nissan said it would fire Ghosn this week, while the Mitsubishi 
board will meet next week. [...]

Japan´s public broadcaster NHK reported that Nissan paid "huge sums" to buy 
luxury houses for Ghosn in four cities around the globe. The properties, in

[EVDL] Hardware for my trike electrification. Still need batteries charger and bms.

2018-11-20 Thread Lawrence Rhodes via EV
Here are the drive parts ordered from Luna Cycle with prices, shipping and tax 
so people can what it really costs.  This will power a Steintrike Explorer 
model.  I want to use 4 kw of Nissan Leaf modules to power the system.  I will 
need a charger and bms and of course some sort of enclosure.  Not sure it is 
wise to have the modules in the open air but they are air cooled.  Lawrence
