Electric Vehicles in Last Newcastle Hill Climb

I see from the results that you managed 12th outright and a run of 40.37, nice effort. http://forums.aeva.asn.au/smileys/smiley20.gif How did you find the course? Just over 2 seconds quicker than the Tesla too. Much interest shown by other competitors and spectators in the EVs? The course was prett...

Cheers! Let's hope it causes a stir coz it's electric and fast....not because I hit a wall. :-)

Newcastle Branch

If John couldn't make it, we could use my workshop as a fall back. It's only about 1km from Catavolt.

My preference would be Tuesday nights.

It was designed to support CHAdeMO, but it has not yet been implemented.

Leaving chargers hooked up

Hey Chris, This is exactly what my DC Fast Charger for the ELMOFO Radical is. It is a grid-independent 100kW DC Fast Charger with a 62kWh ELMOFO/Kokam High Power Lithium Pack. It's fully adjustable....but we run at charge rates of up to 250A at 400V! When we are at the track for a full day of racing...

The reality is that, even if some bold entrepreneurial type went to the trouble of bringing the Lightning to Oz, pretty much everyone would bork at the price and it would be a wasted effort.

Nice to dream though....

Hey Chris. We wort of need them now...or possibly 1 to 2 weeks max.

The project had a lot of umming and ahhing and now it's urgent. :-/

We have Leaf cells or Kokam cells that we can use...but they would be wasted in this low current application.

We have a solar project requiring another 32 x 100Ah (or 16 x 200Ah) Prismatic LiFePO4 cells and are struggling to find a supplier with sufficient stock. Does anyone have this sort of quantity of UNUSED cells sitting around that may not actually make it into the project for which they were destined?...

SET UP 4 WIND TURBINES AND 700Mt2 SOLAR PANELS and plug it on to the DC pack Nice....but no need. They charge the storage packs off-site prior to the events and then "dump" it into the cars as required. The storage packs just need to be sized to allow the required number of recharges.

The flip side of this is with quick change batteries, we could potentially see better racing. I would like to see unlimited swaps for batteries and tyres in a longer F1 length race. That way we can see the true potential not just another limiter on the sport like we have with fixed fuelling. Or...d...

Didn't notice a huge amount of gear change noise, as I presume that it would be a fairly close ratio box compared to an F1 ICE box, since they are doing about half the speed and have the added benefit of extra torque of the bat. Yes I guess risk is one element that brings people to motorsport but I...
