Has these companies been posted here before?

Why don't we get these in Oz. Totally unaffected by fuel prices.

it seems that 2009/2010 there will be mass produced EVs hitting the market

I'll believe that when I see it. It feels like thats been just around the corner for ages now.

But when it does happen maybe we could have a few Wednesday night meetings down the pub.

Also Main roads publish a list of public weigh bridges in WA.

Cheers Richo thats gold

Also like you say I wasn't aiming to optomise the aerodynamics of the van but rather measure the total retarding force at various speeds to predict the performance of various motors.

The tip eh I'll give it a go. For a simplifying assumption you can ignore that the actually deceleration will not vary in a linear way and just call that the approximate resistance you have at 90Km/h. Similarly, you could time your rolling deceleration from 80 to 60 and call that your resistance at ...

Grretings all I'm considering converting a Tarago van and am doing some prelim calcs to spec the motor/controller and battery pack. First question: Where can weigh my van. Will local mechanics have scales built into their hoists. Second question: I was going to measure the aerodynamic and rolling dr...

Here's their EV

That really sum it up. Very nicely put.

Who is CERES anyway.......maybe I'll give them a google.

I too am interested in political action. I can't start my conversion until probably next year, so political action is my only outlet. I agree with all above and if there is anything organised am willing to do what I can. I have started writing a case for an EV conversion rebate scheme and want to do...

The above is a reply to: Posted: 11 June 2008 at 7:36am By mjcrow With yesterdays announcement of a $35 million grant to toyota to build a hybrid camry in Aust, it seems that maybe we should be ruffling a few feathers in Canberra and asking why Australians who build ZERO EMMISSIONS vehicles get NO G...

How about: " Give Australia the power to kick the Crude Oil habit. Give Australians a Fully Electric option " "A viable all electric vehicle is within reach. How many poeple would be interested in a car capable of 120km/hr with a range of 100km for daily commute that can be recharged overnight with ...

My question is for Rob M. I saw you're Mustang at the Sunfair back in April (very impressive and very popular). It looked like it had Thundersky's in it is that correct? You're Sep 07 post mentioned changing to Li batteries. Is that when you put the Thundersky's in and how have they performed so far...
