AEVA Forums

Sorry...   ...I've been having a little internet trouble the last two days...   ...Will have something up soon...

Lots of photos were taken and promo material collected...   ...Will post photos soon...

I can say I was quite disappointed with this car...

I'll have a copy of the promo material posted up soon...   ...Once I get my photos from today all sorted out...

I'll be going to the Melbourne Motor Show tomorrow (Sunday the 1st March) and will no doubt take lots of photos of the cars on show...   ...Including the i-MiEV...    http://forums.aeva.asn.au/smileys/smiley24.gif Quick question is...   ...Does anyone want copies of any promo material that they have...

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...

Oops...   ...I missed the Jan meeting...

Hopefully I'll make the Feb one before I head over to Hawaii...

Exellent news, thanks AC. Thalass the issue is not where to put the genset but an EV with enough grunt to pull up to 1.5 Ton. Hub motors in the caravan...   ...Hook up a power switch to the hydraulic breaks off the coupling...   ...It makes the trailer breaks come on when the car breaks and pressur...

Perfect!

That's awesome...   ...I had imagined something a little bigger...

That is so wrong...   ...on so many levels...

I'm sure there's more than one "dynamics" law being broken with that car...

Thalass...   ...The trailer idea is great...   ...It's never crossed my mind... Like an extra booster battery pack for my iPod or phone...   ...a trailer with another battery pack, a generator, and a fuel tank (or two) would solve range restrictions... The extra pack could be wired in with the main ...

Why does the MiEV have to look so stupid...   ...While the EVO has always looked good...   ...This is something that always annoys me about EVs...   ...Just make them look "normal"... As for Holden and the Volt...   ...Just grab 100 Barinas or Astras and pop something together like people do in thei...

I like the review...   ...Seemed quite fair and inline with all their reviews...    ...And seeing as I can't really afford any of the cars on Top Gear...   ...They could tell me that the car could get me a sordid night with Katie Holmes...   ...Still won't buy it...

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...

That works best for me...

However I know a few people that would pick at that even...

It would...   ...umm...   ...stand out...   ...but maybe a little too much...

I vote for this too :-) Add iPhone to iPaqs + blackberries I concur... I belong to a number of car forums and by far the best for e-mail notifications is my Skyline club...   ...Here's an example of the layout...   ...On my iPhone I can usually read all the first line and know straight away if I wa...

Looks good...   ...Sounds good too...   ...My brother's GF said it sounds like an RC car...

I've always had a feeling that two wheel EVs will take off faster than four wheel...   ...But then it also comes back down to range again...

Hmm...   ...I maybe new to this forum, but I've seen things like this on all sorts of automotive forums...

Most people don't trust posts like this...

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.

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 ...

You can watch it on the SBS web site...   ...They have a thing called "Catch Up"...   ...I think it will be there for a week...

It's a step up from Kearon's "Wireless Power" cover story for his unfinished Capri at the field day. Where can I check out Kearon's cover story???...   ...I've watched his vids a number of times over now... It wasn't the cover of a magazine, it was his (sleep-deprived) joke to people looking under ...

Hay Richo... I guess I just want to get out of it kinda the same as I do with my current car...   ...Just less carbons... My current car is my daily driver for work...   ...anything between 50 to 100km a day...   ...sometimes more...   ...Club events...   ...track days...   ...drift and drag on occa...
