Re: [EVDL] Car-size fire-blanket smothers EV li-ion fire reignitions

I’m not buying it. LiCoO2 batteries have their own oxygen source that it why 
the Dreamliner Halon system didn’t work when they had battery fires. If they 
left it that battery would have continued to burn.

Re: [EVDL] Car-size fire-blanket smothers EV li-ion fire reignitions

I had an idea once.   Dump the electrolyte in a fire.   That stops the battery 
reaction and stops the fire.   I'd bet you could make a 
heat sensitive relief valve (at the bottom) and as the battery heats up, it 
would dump the electrolyte (which is getting hot anyway and would eitherpour 
via gravity or perhaps boil out the relief valve). It would make a mess...but I 
bet it would work.

 This might work, but the fact is that nearly all EVs have metal-oxide

Basically a fire blanket is useless in an EV fire, and might even 
exacerbate an EV fire by holding in the heat.

What works is water applied liberally and continuously to the battery 
pack to keep the undamaged cells in the pack cool.
Thermal management, rather than oxygen starvation (which is impossible.)

[EVDL] EVLN: gm double deals> won't pay back $60M in tax incentives

GM must fulfill promises to state, Valley
Jun 21, 2020  Ohio should hold General Motors accountable to pay back the
$60 million in tax incentives it had received before shuttering the local
assembly and stamping plants in Lordstown ... GM disputes the demand and
instead is asking to be spared from repaying the state in the “spirit of
economic development” and the company’s “significant manufacturing presence”
in the state and the Mahoning Valley ...

2020 Chevrolet Menlo EV Gets This One Cool Cargo Feature
Jun 20, 2020  The feature in question is found in the Chevrolet Menlo EV’s
sizable rear hatch. Underneath the rear hatch cargo floor, there’s a
segmented tray, which can easily hold a number of different items safely and
out of sight ... Looking over the official picture provided by Chevrolet,
the cargo tray can hold things like a bag, the battery charging cord, some
rope, and other things ...

EVLN: Tesla,GM,FMC Self-Driving Race details
The Self-Driving Car Race Between Tesla, GM and Ford Takes a Big Turn
06/20/20 ... Both Ford’s and GM’s driving assist features rely on a “lidar”
(a radar using light instead of radio waves) system that pre-maps an entire
area in which a car is expected to move around. A driver can then select a
route on that map and direct the car to move itself along it. Tesla’s
Autopilot operates in a completely different method. Instead of pre-mapping
the roads, Tesla uses eight in-car cameras to capture a 360-degree view
around the vehicle at any moment. Real-time footages caught by these cameras
are then parsed by machine-learning algorithms to guide motion ...

Re: [EVDL] Chevy Bolt EV towing capacity NOT!

2020-06-21 Thread Mike Nickerson via EV
Tesla supports towing on the Model Y.  A Class II hitch with 3500 pound
capacity is a $1,000 option on the US order page.

I've heard others say that Tesla supports towing on the Model 3 also, but
don't see it on the order page or aftermarket shop.  Supposedly, it has 2000
pound towing capacity.  

One thing I've noticed is that Tesla sometimes supports towing in other
countries, but not the US.  I've heard that was true of the Model S too.

The physics of the matter is that towing increases the strain on the
batteries, controller, motor, and brakes. Manufacturers prefer to skimp on
them to save cost. Towing just might put some part a little above its
maximum design limit. Thus, towing increases the chances of a failure during
warranty.

But of course, how you drive and how often you tow makes a huge difference.
Do you do it often? Do you still drive at 80 mph with a trailer? In the
mountains?

But if you drive very gently when towing, the strain on the drive train can
actually be less than the "stop light racers" who drive like the
accellerator and brake pedal are on/off switches.

So it's easy for the dealer and manufacturer to say "no towing". If it
breaks during warranty, they can use the hitch as evidence and deny any
coverage. Even if you have never in fact towed anything, they win; you lose!

Me; I tow with older vehicles that don't have any warranty anyway. And, I'm
a very conservative driver. I've never had any problems due to towing.

The physics of the matter is that towing increases the strain on the 
batteries, controller, motor, and brakes. Manufacturers prefer to skimp 
on them to save cost. Towing just might put some part a little above its 
maximum design limit. Thus, towing increases the chances of a failure 
during warranty.


But of course, how you drive and how often you tow makes a huge 
difference. Do you do it often? Do you still drive at 80 mph with a 
trailer? In the mountains?


But if you drive very gently when towing, the strain on the drive train 
can actually be less than the "stop light racers" who drive like the 
accellerator and brake pedal are on/off switches.


So it's easy for the dealer and manufacturer to say "no towing". If it 
breaks during warranty, they can use the hitch as evidence and deny any 
coverage. Even if you have never in fact towed anything, they win; you lose!


Me; I tow with older vehicles that don't have any warranty anyway. And, 
I'm a very conservative driver. I've never had any problems due to towing.

The imiev is the most obxiously ICEcentric EV I have driven!  Though I 
love mine for several reasons.  The not optional creep.  The three 
levels of very weak and lagging regen.  The odd "twist key against a 
spring" starting procedure.


Perhaps justifiably, EV makers want to put bigger brakes on tow rated 
EVs.  Only in the relatively rare situations of a full or cold battery 
are bigger brakes needed.


Permit me a digression.  Last year, our local Tesla group was joined by 
a new Model 3 owner.  He complained vociferously about regen.  He 
recommended to Tesla that, if they wanted to make it a mass market car, 
they would HAVE make it drive like a Prius.  His other car was a Prius 
and they (he and his wife) were used getting on the brake as soon as the 
throttle was lifted; they always abruptly lifted the throttle and were 
irritated by the resultant rapid slowing.  Thankfully for the sanity of 
the group, they finally came to terms with "one pedal driving".  And 
grew to love it.  When driving an imiev, I am constantly irritated by 
the lag in regen.

An anecdote: I had a new 2006 Hyundai with 12 miles on the odometer 
converted understanding I would have no Hyundai warranty.  I did not 
suffer from lack of warranty.  Though I was surprised when a Hyundai 
dealer refused to perform a state safety inspection on the converted 
car.  I have had no warranty problems with three Teslas on which I 
installed trailer hitches though Tesla Service Centers refuse to install 
hitches.

It really depends on your anal retentiveness or how risk averse you are. 
 The lack of stated towing capacities has more to do with the 
manufacturer's high level of risk avoidance and the perils of liability.


I imagine that if a car is "rated for towing", it can be expected to 
pull that load ALWAYS and never be operated without a loaded trailer.


IMHO, ANY modern car should be capable of pulling at least a 2000 lb 
trailer if equipped with a proper hitch.  Thousands of 2000 lb hitches 
have been sold for imievs, Leafs, Model Ss, Model 3s, etc.


OTOH, if your boat weighs 1600 lb, then the loaded trailer may well be 
pushing the arbitrary 2000 lb threshold.


I will point out that it is not likely that an ICE manufacturer has ever 
condoned a conversion to electric.  So, most here will likely take 
manufacturer's recommendations, or lack, with a large dose of salt.
