Thank you Gabz, we got 2nd place in the Pole Position prize. Unfortunately our gearing caused us to pull too much current up the hill. Pete did however lead Open Class for the first 35-40 minutes and lead the chain classes overall for about half an hour. All a big learning curve really. Feel free to...

I shall be there at the race day, all the way from Perth

Correct Coulomb, our house here in Perth is a terrible orientation and we spend a lot on heating in winter. We built a big kitted out 'shed' down at our farm after reading a lot of passive energy building books and it is amazing how constant the temperature is throughout the year. Using solar panels...

Interesting that if we used passive solar design and actually made it law to have new houses oriented in a passive solar direction with the long axis then heating and cooling energy budget would more than halve in most Aussie homes. I personally thought it was a well balanced show although what got ...

Funny you should mention that, took out a $4000 personal loan today to fund our trip to the Newcastle EV Prize.......

At that price, I can order around 10 - 15 later this year, not this month though.

Also a quick 2 cents, the in-efficiency of drilling, refining, shipping and trucking petrol to all the petrol stations should be added onto the true amount of CO2 emitted by ICE vehicles. With the coal, atleast there isn't a huge CO2 footprint in terms of mine to steam turbine and once it's been con...

Has anyone checked out the photos yet? I have uploaded around 140-150 after removing repetitive/blurry pics.

Quick note, you are able to access our fb page without having an account, google "coulomb motorsport facebook" & click on the first link, although we would really appreciate people following us as every like increases our exposure by at least 100 people :) PICTURES ARE UPLOADED AS OF 23:30 10/03/201...

Thanks to Chris and all the people involved with the event today. Unfortunately I was working and we have had a few complications with our e-bike and other projects, re shaping the front end of last years eV Challenge car but great to see everyone else making it out and promoting eV's to all those r...

What a bunch of jerks!! Got to say it's people like this who cause the youth of today to pressure my brother not to ride his electric pushbike to school and back even though it out paces all of his classmate's bikes!! Some of us have the courage to drive change and yet face ridicule from those who s...

Hi all, Didn't know where to put this but just sharing with you all our new website; www.coulombmotorsport.com Unfortunately it is not all finished but let me know what you think about the sections that are completed, our previous projects etc. I also intend on putting photos taken at last years ele...

I think I can remember the way there, I shall pop around sometime this week

Chris,

Do you still have these?

James

Anybody still interested in doing the electrathon series next year? If so let me know as I am starting our build according to the US Rules...

Regards,

James

Well Done again to the River Raiders, that makes it three consecutive wins. You are looking like Audi in the World Endurance Series. Will definitely source our batteries from you next year after the disappointment this year. Hope to hear more about starting an electrathon series as well as next year...

Hi Chris, looking good so far. Impressed you got it over the pits without too much hassle. If you want a spare pair of hands in future drop me a PM. I'm hoping to buy a MIG welder in December as I'm getting lessons at the moment.

James

So long as you only are using 300 Watts maximum, 3 wheeled electric vehicles are legal on all footpaths and with the exception of freeways etc any road where bikes are permitted to ride along. Can't find the law at the moment but I used to carry it around with me when I drove my old eV Challenge tri...

Hi Chris, could you please send me an email to James.Hill@crhtelnet.com.au?
I am very interested in buying, I am also in Perth so I can pick it up.


Regards,

James

Plan at the moment is for MC Motorsport course out near the airport, being electric there is no noise concerns. Like I said before I am trying to encourage road-registered eV's to make up one of the categories so we should already have quite a base of vehicles to start with before we even get starte...

By endurance series I mean a combination to begin with leading up to a potential 12 hour or 24 hr race.

1200 Wh battery packs that can be swapped out are the basis of the new rules.


James

BigMouse do you have any way for me to send the file to you?
Private Message won't allow me to send the file through to you

Hi Everyone, For those following this thread it has been awhile, however I have progressed in my proposal for an electric endurance series. Attached is the initial proposal for this series, Rules and regulations are 90% done and will be posted soon. Being kept relatively open to allow eV road regist...

I am currently writing up a proposal and rules and regulations for the 2013 launch of the Perth Electric Endurance Series, should be finished within a week and I shall upload for review by everyone.

James
