What's wrong with this picture? (2 things)

The motor is to big for the Tesla, or your Telsa is to small

We have a 2kw grid system which I moniter with a Sunny Beam data collector, it has a daily graph and a monthly one. The most we have produced in a day is 13.3kw/h which was in late feb/ march I think. The daily graph is interesting in that around late dec it starts producing power from about 6am up ...

A bit of googling found this site http://www.infrastructure.gov.au/roads/vehicle_regulation/bulletin/importing_vehicles/general/index.aspx which looks like a lot of reading with all the links etc but it should give you the answers you need and probably some you don't need. Keep us posted on how you ...

I don't think you'd be allowed to import anything new unless it complied with our ADR's so you may just have to wait until the Nissan Leaf arrives in 2012.

A mate was telling me this morning about a Battronic Van which may be for sale in country Vic. I did a bit of googling while trying to look after my 2 hypo sons but I couldn't find much info about the Battronic Van. I so wanted to have a look but when we arrived at the address no one was about. Has ...

Could be a good show, if he is still the Minister then.
He seems to be in a bit of hot water lately

gttool, I have a 1.4kw Grid connect solar system which produces nearly all of our power over the summer, and about half in winter. We have 8 175 watt BP panel (Aust made, BP have now shifted to India) with a 2500 watt Sunny Boy inverter, we hope to add 4 more panels to give us 2.1kw which will be gr...

Found some pictures of the new Aussie EV in the latest Top Gear magazine so Googled the name and found this http://www.goy.com.au/ I haven't had a read of it yet, (I'm supposed to be working!) but looks ok, I wonder if it will get off the ground, um no, maybe that should be I wonder if it will ever ...

Just saw a quick ad for tonights show which is doing a story about EV's
Kearon in his EV Capri gets a staring role by the looks.
The ad was on Prime which is rural channel 7 but I think they have the same show as City 7.

I've been a bit slack with this topic but in the latest UK CAR
magazine (Dec 09) they have a 32 page supplement on EV's, it is issue one of 'green car' magazine so may be a regular thing. This issue has a drive test of an Audi R8 e-tron, the writer is very impressed.

Wow, a bit of forward thinking by the Vic Government, unbelievable. Shame about this bit on page 16 of 'The invitation to Participate' 'Households or individuals interested in operating an electric vehicle as part of the trial need take no action in response to this Invitation to Participate. Furthe...

I was reading the Oct-Dec 09 Renew magazine and a guy called Stan Baker had written in with some brief info on his Plug in Prius, he said there are some engineers in the US who have managed to get a PiP upto 110kph Link to it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8y5n32p6u3Y With a bit of Googling I found...

Sounds nice EClubman, Can you tell us a bit more about it.
have you got any pictures?
Is it on the road or still under construction?
where abouts are you?

Hi Gabriel, seem as no one else has replied I thought I'd give it a go, mind you I'm know where near as cleaver as some of the guys on this forum. Back to you conversion. I think you need to work out what range you need Then what speed you need to do, around town or highway And how much money you ha...

My wife wants me to add something that makes a noise when we back out the drive so she doesnt hit someone. I might put stones in the hubcaps. I hate reversing alarms so I might go for a different sound hooked into the reversing lights. Cheers Lachlan How about one of those door bells with the V8 so...

I may have posted this before but I cannot find it. They are Fiamm Monolite 12V 100Ah Battery Link The reason I ask is I might have a contact who can get some for a reasonable price. They are used as an emergency back up but the company replaces them every few years for safety reasons. Can they be c...

I have thought about this topic for a while as a mad collector of car magazines I have noticed that EV's are been featured more often, pretty much every magazine I buy has an article on EV's of some sort, usually cars which is my main interest. I hope to post in this topic the details of any magazin...

Has anyone seen or heard of this company before, seems like a well
thought out propersition and a good website.
I haven't had a good look at the site yet but seems to offer franchise & training etc in EV conversion.

We brought a new ICE family truckster the other day and its pales are
XEV-### so maybe XICE would make a good EV plate.

Oop's ignore my last post on this topic, how do I delete it? I had a small fibreglass business back in the early 80's so things may have change since then, there are 2 main sorts of cloth to us, one woven and the other 'chopped strand mat' the woven one is usually used for surfboards or covering woo...

Does anyone know how many EV's are going to be on show?
I hope to be able to get there but I will need to start being nice to She who must be obeyed so I can get a leave pass.
I was hoping to drag the MOA electro moke along but that may not happen now.

Apparantly the Tesla will be at Canberra for the AGM, I hope to make the trip from Moe to have a look at it and the other cars on show.
A bit Off Topic but I might even be able to bring an Elec Moke for display.
