After I've put a bit more thought into this, I think we're going to see a lot more electric vehicle development by Germany's big auto over the next 15 years. While the agreement is non-binding, it is a demonstration of political and civic will. So really, the market research for electric vehicles ha...

First up - sorry for the clickbait subject line... You'll find out why as you read. The Bundesrat has recently announced the signing of a non-binding agreement to ban the sale of ICE vehicles by 2030. This doesn't include agriculture or industry use vehicles, so you could still expect to see diesel ...

Hi, I'm selling an '01 Barina 5 door hatch. Manual, 1.4L, ~175,000km, silver. I don't have the time to finish fixing it anymore, and I would rather it go somewhere and be used than to a wreckers. The body and paint aren't in great condition, but nothing that would affect roadworthy. I've replaced th...

Really, is anything about converting from ICE to EV practical? "Practicality" and possibility increase in direct proportion to your bank account.

Maybe a snorkel would work, but you'd have to have the entire motor encased in a watertight box which would probably: A. Not be as watertight as intended and B. cause a heap of overheating issues going slow. I think the added complexity of putting the engine in a watertight box with a workable cooli...

More free textbooks for the learning of the electrons... http://openstaxcollege.org/books http://www.reddit.com/r/trackers/comments/hrgmv/tracker_with_pdfsebooks_of_college_textbooks/c1xrq44 On a side note I did look up some solar trailers. Under "Customizing" there is a vehicle that has about capab...

Yeah, I'm thinking a better solution for what I want to do would be to get the motors and batteries from an Outlander PHEV and sticking it into a triton or Pajero. Probably around the same cost. Or maybe a "toughing up" of the outlander, because it's a bit soft. As for my original idea... I think it...

Yeah, I'm in no hurry. As I said, I've got 4 years before my long service leave kicks in, which will give me enough time to become an "expurt". And increase the allotted budget.

Also, googled I-Miev parts.

Yeah, after some quick and dodgy computations (1+1=3, right?)... I'll need ~14,000 rofldollars of batteries (LiFePo's) to do what I want to do. That leaves me approximately $6,000 for everything else. Time to re-spec back to reality. Maybe a few years on lithiums will be cheaper, and solar more effi...

OK, so does anyone know of any good textbooks/sites for electrical theory? The school team I ran into had PV cells mounted on cardboard, incredibly light, for the bicycles. Their car was going to get a similar set up, but I'm not sure if they would have had to cover that in glass or clear plastic. W...

Fair enough.

Thanks for all the replies, and don't expect to see many posts from me until (iff) I start building this beast.

Hi, First things first, not an adbot. Little bit about myself - I'm old enough to be going bald but young enough to be appalled. I'm a trained monkey by trade, spinning spanners on greasy things. I've also cycled around the country. Oh, and I really hate having to buy fuel. While cycling the Nullarb...
