Here it is:

No, this is a persistent fantasy, there are no *cable* conversion kits.

The dealer orders a new (2013-2015 style) battery but *with* the old style 
control connector and with a special version of the BMS programming in the 
LBC, so that instead of the 3 temp sensors as usual in the newer batteries, 
it still requires and reports 4 temp sensors as for the 2011/12.

The only Adapter kit that is special ordered consists of new plastic body 
panels because the shape of the battery bottom is different, so old covers 
no longer fit, as well as 2 new L-brackets to mount the back of the battery 
to the car above the rear axle, because of some reason they thought it a 
good idea to use 2 smaller bolts instead of the single large bolt on the 
back of the battery. With a bit of effort, you can adapt the old bracket by 
drilling/cutting the new holes.

One of my Leafs came with one bracket hand-tight and the other missing 
entirely, so I am not so sure that you even need those brackets.

The control connector is the critical item as it cannot be exchanged without 
opening the battery (and the new batteries are glued shut)

[EVDL] Washington to adopt california zero-emission standards

2020-03-10 Thread Peri Hartman via EV

https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/automakers-required-to-sell-more-electric-vehicles-under-new-legislation-in-washington-state/

Legislation passed Monday in Olympia will require automakers to make 
more electric or other zero-emission vehicles available for sale in 
Washington.

...
The bill requires automakers in 2022 to make about 5% of the vehicles 
sold in Washington state to be electric or other types of zero-emission 
vehicles ... will increase to around 8% by 2025.

...
some electric-car models that are now difficult to find in Washington 
should become more available...

Re: [EVDL] leaf 2011 gen 2 battery

2020-03-10 Thread Jay Summet via EV
When a Leaf dealership replaces a 2011-2012 battery with a gen2 battery, 
there is an extra "adapter cable kit" they use that allows the gen2 
battery to work in a gen1 vehicle. [Plus, they reprogram the computer to 
work with the new battery (or perhaps, reprogram the battery to work 
with the new car?)]


If you are trying to do the upgrade yourself, the low-tech solution is 
to open up both batteries and swap out the modules (only) from the new 
battery into the old battery (keeping the old battery shell, connectors, 
and BMS system), so that no re-programming of the computer is needed.


(I have also heard of some people who have built a "man in the middle" 
box that will sit between a Leaf and a new battery and modify the can 
bus traffic so that the computer doesn't need to be re-programmed)

The Volkswagen e-Golf Is Dead

VW confirmed there won't be a Mk 8 e-Golf. It's going to be replaced by the
upcoming ID.4.

A Volkswagen spokesperson confirmed to Road & Track today the company has
discontinued its all-electric Golf hatchback, the e-Golf. The spokesperson
also confirmed there will be no Mk 8 version of the e-Golf. Instead, the
company's upcoming ID.3 electric hatchback will occupy that spot in VW's
lineup in Europe. We'll be getting the ID.4 in America.


The e-Golf first launched in 2012 as an ultra-low production test vehicle.
It wasn't until 2015 and the Mk 7 bodystyle that the e-Golf saw full-scale
production. Later models could achieve 125 miles on a single charge, and
sprint from 0-60 mph in 8.5 seconds. According to VW, if you want a new
e-Golf, you'll have to procure one of the 2019 model-year cars currently
sitting on dealership lots—America's allocation of 2020 cars has been
diverted to Canada.


If you were waiting for Volkswagen to introduce a new Mk 8 e-Golf, we're
sorry to disappoint, but it's not coming. Instead, VW will fill the empty
spot in its lineup with its new ID.3 hatchback, a purpose-built electric
model. Packing futuristic looks, rear-wheel-drive, and a 341-mile range,
it's a massive step up from the e-Golf. But sadly, it's not coming to
America. Instead, we're getting the ID.4, a larger crossover.

As VW's ID electric sub-brand expands, we should start to see EVs from the
German manufacturer come stateside. A crossover is likely the first to
arrive. But for now, we'll just have to wait patiently.

Norfolk-based Equipmake is developing a 295bhp power unit that weighs less
than 10kg

UK-based engineering firm Equipmake is developing what it claims is “the
world’s most power-dense permanent magnet electric motor”. 

Designed in collaboration with 3D printing specialist Hieta, the so-called
Ampere motor will weigh less than 10kg but provide a peak output of 295bhp.
For reference, the Jaguar I-Pace’s two electric motors weigh around 40kg
each and produce 197bhp. 

The Ampere’s 27bhp per kg output gives it a better power density rating than
any conventional electric motor on sale. 

The unit’s lightness is due mostly to minimal use of metal in its
construction, and an innovative 3D-printed casing that is as thin as
possible. An added benefit of this construction method is enhanced thermal
efficiency, which means the motor can spin faster for longer without
overheating.

Despite its impressive performance, the Ampere will command a relatively low
list price, given its resource-light construction. 

The motor’s development has been funded by the Government’s Innovate UK
programme, which gives financial support to UK-based projects. 

Working prototypes are expected to be in operation within the next 12
months.
