Green Car Innovation Fund
I'd be interested in attending this... I've always thought that a small group of people (like AEVA members) could make a red hot go at producing a small run of "production" BEV conversions... ...Numbers along the line of 10, 20, 50, or even 100 vehicles of one type... ...Say small two door Holde...

I concur with solar and wind... ...Hydro is renewable (I think) because nature transports it back to the top of the "kinetic" system... And in a way Wind could also be considered "Solar"... ...Because isn't it the sun heating the earth in different ways that cause the fluctuation in air pressure...

Power output question...
Richo,
My car is stock apart from an exhaust that was done in Japan. The last owner also lowered it with some suspension mods and put a high flow kit in the turbo.
From the factory an R33 GTS25t should have around 130 to 140 rwkw.
I've been searching for an EV dyno run with no luck so far.

Melbourne: Next meeting.
I'm hoping the next meeting is on the 12th of December, but I thought I'd just ask because I know some car clubs skip December meetings for End of Year BBQs.
Hopefully I'll get off work early and head on down.

Sorry Goombi, I don't mean to stir anyone at all. I guess I just have an idea of what I would like an electric car to do but don't know how to achieve it. Also, when you say 8.5Kw, I kind of think that isn't enough power to get me out of the drive way. But that's because I'm coming from performance ...
