I think the "journalist" misinterpreted the quote and then paraphrased to make it even more nonsensical. Reading between the lines I think the researchers were trying to say it's more energy dense than petrol per kg which gets about 500km to a tank and an equivalent weight of aluminium will go to 70...

What did it cost to run your getz? I just stepped out of a getz that was costing me about $50 per week for fuel, and now I'm using about $20 of electricity (not taking solar into account)

I recently got a price for a battery pack and the trade price (through my work) was about $4200+gst. I was hoping to dismantle the pack and use the cells in a conversion. It was a very good price for 16kwh of cells. Just had to wait a few months for a pack to be shipped in. I then tried to order the...

Started making up the motor mount mounts this weekend, I damaged one of the mounts when I was pulling the engine out and forgot to order a new one, so I'll have to wait for that before I can finish up but it's all basically lined up and the brackets are made. https://k8dtmw.bn.files.1drv.com/y4mvE7P...

Sort of works. I have to click on the link to view the image, it's not embedded in the post

I did a lot of measuring and then a rough mockup and yes, it's a really tight fit. But it does fit.
Putting the motor at that end is also what pushed me to the pmac motors as they are mostly quite short. The Me1507 has squared off sides which will make it miss the "chassis rail". Just...

Isn't that how you make a car reliable, take it apart and modify it as much as possible, then leave it in pieces for a while and do a rush/last minute reassembly to make it mobile because you're about to move house or something. And the project is never fully finished but it is finished "enough". Ju...

While I don't own an imiev, did we end up with an approximate time frame/ quantity for an order because I'm fast approaching a point where I'd like to have about 40x 135ah cells in my possession and I'd like to hijack part of a bulk order.

I've just taken some screenshots of the cells for reference https://kcdtmw.bn.files.1drv.com/y4mT_U_ooSvm_JJq78aHJU1yIYPZ3kYlAgTWebx8fUuTvIuANDjlztV-ggo-NTosv6lSG1SEqAR6vYgHZlijSuwDYtoPHMXbVbnf1DS2E6no1q4XyC-CAhjOnjQtlOs3ZYBRfL0pQtRGilc6lc3njAJCWuCm5c9t1qmapD4D-SM0ePGC9yMIeCHWjZTH7eeYQZtKve8LZ4SYk_b...

LiFePO4 cylindrical 652kg
LiFePO4 prismatic 594kg
Leaf modules 518kg
Tesla modules 268kg

Probably throw in nmc cells into that list as well at about 405kg

A good trick is to have an email account specifically setup up for spam. It'd good for signing up to fast food /restaurants for birthday loyalty stuff. They send me junk all year to an email I don't check and on my birthday I travel the city going from place to place redeeming free food from them all.

I've all but finished the adapter plate and coupling. https://l8ckkq.bn.files.1drv.com/y4meBjWOnmXR638eRqQumfh7l4bwSp8tBze1tMwqmmh1MzMnEEaMfC3-XOHsfNbiFOgIHDbVeESS4BskxdMC9P1HnApCeUEDBUFS3atiQe9xJQwB6bOD2oNR9rhmARCZOyC_5FPQU5aoYedIx5I3EUh3h0Buk9pmjXVQsREsvtPKBrC9SlMMhFX2XZ4ktFso_W-XUks516NZNPLRPrTjr...

Been busy juggling other projects in my limited time but I've just about finished getting the coupling sorted. I had a hard time finding a 1.1/8 bore hub with a 1/4 key. Turns out its an odd shaft/key size combination on the motor. I could get things out of the UK but postage was over the top. Ended...

I think a sound generator is overkill and not going to make an actual difference. A way to alert someone that is not as harsh as the horn is a good idea not just for EVs but all vehicles. A bell is probably the best way as it's not a sound people hear as much nowadays so it'll attract attention bett...

The rule of thumb I heard for a 144v lithium system is range is 75% of amphours.
Ie 144v 100ah will give 75km.
So 40km from 60ah is probably a good estimate. That being said a hiace has the aerodynamics of a brick so it'll be worse no doubt, especially at speed.

And the kit also comes with a contactor, isolator, display, throttle and a couple premade cables

I just logged in this morning and all the pics in the thread took ages to load (thanks NBN) but the last pics didn't, they just said "image". I then refreshed the browser (I'm on Android mobile and it's chrome) and they all loaded up straight away, including the last ones. Maybe it's timing out whil...

She'll be front wheel drive in this iteration, however an upgrade to 4wd may be a long term option.

None of the pics in any of my posts? Or just the last post?

Oh I agree, they make enough millions to provide a better service /faster parts but they want to sell cars not parts.

I get parts from mitsubishi through work and they told me they get a shipping container(s) every 6 weeks. So if you order a part ex Japan it could be a couple of days if it's timed right but 6 weeks is meant to be the longest it can take unless Japan has no stock at which point they wait until they ...

It's been sold.
