How much petrol does it use?
How long do you want to go for?
e.g. if the lift motor is going full power the whole time, that’s 11kW, so a full leaf pack won’t last much more than an hour.

It's good enough until it isn't. e.g. If a noob joined today, have they been on all day or just joined 2 minutes ago?

Re: Are hybrid bikes worth the money?
This is an electric vehicle forum so I’m going to assume you mean an electric bike but the advice is much the same. I see the bike landscape much like a triangle. In one corner, Road/Racer bikes are no-compromise speed/endurance machines for the road. Downhill mountain bikes are in another corner fo...

It’s not trivial but it’s not heaps of work for someone who’s done it before, certificates are now free thanks to the “Lets Encrypt” initiative, possibly the hosting company offers a one-off cost to set it up and turn it on?

Re: HP in EV vs HP in ICE
Possibly relevant - some (all?) the Dynos work on (angular) accelleration of a (spinning) mass, so it’s measuring power fairly accurately but if you’ve programmed in an accelleration curve or something in your EV it may think it’s wheel spinning or something. I imagine rocking up with a truck mounte...

Back in the days of the Ford LTD and Landau (stretched body Fairlane and 2 door Fairmont) they suffered tail shaft vibration because of the long shaft and possibly because they weren't put together quite straight. The go was to put a hose clamp around the tail shaft, turn it to put the screw part i...

@Johnny got a sliding spline made for his Vogue at Precision Balancing in Melbourne http://electricvogue.blogspot.com/searc ... -date=true
I think his motor was imbalanced and so was the tailshaft.

Re: Floride conversion
Welcome! Awesome car.
WA seems to be different - they want you to register your intent beforehand.
Other states encourage you to talk to an engineer early on but don't care want to know until your engineer has signed off on it.

Hi Stephan, it's been a while! Hi guys, Now I am interested to learn if my initial calculations of the expected speed are going to be correct. An update: 1.

Re: Classic EV Conversion - Daimler 250 (V8)
Easier with a classic; If there was a Daimler 250 model without fancy things like brake booster, power steering, heater/demister then you can hopefully do without them to reduce complexity. Take a look at the converted cars at the Brissy meeting; similar (front engine + RWD) layouts would include We...

Re: Toyota Yaris conversion
Not necessarily, the ADC / traction control may have a simple connection (e.g. cut the throttle) which would work for an EV too.

Re: Toyota Yaris conversion
One issue with some (many?) late model cars is traction control/ADC and how integrated it is with the engine management computer: 1. you need to keep the traction control/ADC working 2. sometimes the computer which manages the ADC also manages the engine or talks to it in a non-trivial way 3. when y...

Re: Starting my journey.
Welcome! I like your donor selection viewpoint. If you have a donor without fancy things like front wheel drive, heater/demisters and power brakes then you can have a very simple conversion.

Re: advice?
It's easiest to keep the gearbox and drivetrain; especially if the engine is transverse - you end up doing a lot less engineering. I assume it's a manual RAV 4; not many convert automatics. Toyota US Adid an all-electric RAV4 around 95/96 - not sure what parts they used it would be interesting to lo...
