Mya Le Thai has developed a nanowire-based technology that allows lithium-ion batteries to be recharged hundreds of thousands of times Still lithium based. All they are doing is helping the electrons to move without decay to the rest of the battery. As you can well imagine there are only so many el...

Then consider the Aquion salt water battery development, not an EV applicable battery but how long from conception to market? Professor Jay Whitacre was involved in the first Mars Rover missions and they were lithium powered, he was involved in the batteries for the landing stages of the latest Mar...

Your forgetting the greater energy capacity but yes, your right, it will b very expensive until a few years of production

There is a lot of news and money being pumped into R&D, one report (remember there is many different battery types being researched (lithiam-air,solid state,magnesium,I forget the rest as it will be announced massively when it happens) one company estimates this year. Hope this helps One thing is fo...

Thanks guys

I think the bolt would be cheaper, but doing it yourself gives a lot of satisfaction and we all love certain makes of cars as I think this one holds special meaning for you

http://forums.aeva.asn.au/smileys/smiley1.gif yep, don't like hybrids,,,, I live rural and I drive to neibouring town all the time (100km round trip), new battery coming out at the end of this year - if it happens, will re-look at a conversion :) 50k for parts is a lot (we always fall in love with ...

Hmmm thanks, that really clarifies things - I did a conversion push bike about 5 years ago and used lifepo4 battery, batteries are definitely moving slowly

Hey thanks for the great advice

About $15,000 plus donar car,,,, sounds like batteries aren't quite there for me how about a small car that does about 150km? 4 seats

hi there, been reading a lot about EV's (cars and batteries) 1) with all the battery tech due to come out this year or the next couple of years - would it be worth doing a conversion now? 2) the GM Bolt (although not to be sold in AU apparently) is said to have just shy of 200 miles >> 320KM, can we...

bluefang, that is a very generous offer, i will PM you. i worked out that buying a motorbike (electric for kids) is probably not the best idea - to keep costs down they prob skimp on the good stuff :D and you can build a bike with all the good stuff for cheaper. so have worked out that i need to bui...

thx R, have emailed them for a price list - thanks (looks good for DAD

thankyou very much gabz, i thought about the epush-bike and looked into it (am currently in the process of making myself one) but decided against it for the children. i had forgotten about braap, sent their perth store a email and he didn't get back to me. so doing a followup email with the head sto...

sorry if i have posted this before (cant see it in my subscriptions) anyone know if someone sell's electric dirtbike's? was interested in doing the conversion myself (just a dirtbike on tracks - not road) so the zero FX was a bit more than what i thought). but time got away from me so looking to see...

thanks,

hi there.. i know i haven't been on in a while (long time actually) - but wondering if anyone could give me advice. i currently have an electric pushbike (got the kit for an existing bike and put it together). but this is what i am thinking now. i would like a better pushbike (electric) one with sho...

I found that article http://www.climatespectator.com.au/commentary/scaling-back-peak-demand T1 Terry gudday terry, and thanks. your link doesn't work, but if you copy and paste the address, it works.. here is a working one http://www.climatespectator.com.au/commentary/scaling-back-peak-demand i fou...

to be fair, shouldn't it be equal kw for kw?? I think you're being paid wholesale rates for the electricity you generate, then you buy it back at retail rates. Might as well store it for your own use as mentioned by others. there is very little loss (raidated and distance) because it is being used ...

It would be good repeated in a thread RWD vs FWD Considerations. There may already be a suitable thread.

yes, thanks bigmouse and columb

Depending what state you are in it ets a lot worse than that. As far as I understand it, all the power you generate goes in the grid, then you buy it back. That was fine for the early birds that are getting the 60c kWh but anyone who bought a house with solar already on it don't get the 60c, I thin...

gudday guys, just wanted to say that i had my first EV ride today.. i must say that i was very impressed (but then again, i knew i would be).. was a little surprised that the "get up and go" was really good (AC motor). i liked the quietness of the motor as well (although it had a slight knocking whe...

i just also bought (signed the contract) for a 8 panel 200w (1.6kw) with a 2 kw converter. they tried to sell me 2 extra panels, to take it up to 2kw - and it was going to cost me an extra $1000. one thing i found interesting, say you are at work all day (and your solar panels are feeding into the g...

hey guys - never come across it before. i have noticed a popup happening when someone replies to a thread that i subscribe. the part that has me intreaged is that the pop up happens when i don't have the forum open (but i do have chrome open) - and i am not receiving email either. is there a link i ...
