*This* should be #mandatory #watching for anybody who wants to #discuss #electric #vehicle #ev #cars http://backreaction.blogspot.com/2023/07.. Turns out, as suspected, the #electrical #grid is not ready for them - who would have thought it!
The #citroen #ami is a pretty cool little #electric #car https://www.thisismoney.co.uk/money/elec.. It's a little #expensive for 8000 #thousand #pounds , but the #idea is interesting. Unfortunately it is a little bit of a #deathtrap though. I think they can do better.

The #workingclass were used to #fund the #rich to #buy their #electric #vehicle #ev 's and then the same offers were not made available once it came to their turn to #purchase one. Same with #solar #panels , same with #boilers , same with *everything.*Hmm, it doesn't appear to all be going well in the #eu despite it not being #reported https://youtube.com/watch?v=C1P303dZUZk I also would *not* be happy to have a #protestor thinking that can #block a #road because their #ideology is somehow more important than mine. They have a right to #protest but they cannot #disable #critical #infrastructure .
#toyota working on a #manual #ev - good! https://insideevs.com/news/566896/toyota.. This could also pave the way for #retofitting older #fossilfuel #cars with #electric #motors ...
Cool #quad #design , even if it does catch #fire ! https://hackaday.com/2022/08/31/converti.. To be honest this has made me think twice about throwing an #electric #car together...
Very cool #electric #buggy #build https://hackaday.com/2022/07/05/scratch-..
Ouch, #electric #vehicles will now be #automatically #tolled https://youtube.com/watch?v=TdTKtiM8D6s Fuck that. As #jefftaylor suggests, the #uk #government need 50% #tax on your #money to keep afloat, and they will get that one way or another.
Looks like #france are now building #nuclear #reactors , at a time when #germany shuts theirs down: https://www.politico.eu/article/france-t.. So #germans will end up #buying their #excess #electric #energy #demands from the #french - and somehow they sleep better at night as a result of their #eu neighbours dealing with the #issue of #nuclear #waste .
Cool #electric #gokart #conversion #project https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Cq4mGpZ..
I really want something like this for an #electric #bike of a similar #design https://hackaday.com/2021/10/10/a-bike-t.. In the #uk this would be incredibly useful for visiting #family and #friends in the local area.
Cool that #axial #flux #motors are becoming more #popular - especially as it's one of the oldest #electric #motor #designs https://hackaday.com/2021/10/10/axial-fl..
I *really* think there is actually a #market for these mini #electric #vehicle designs in the #west - but these tend to sell to #mainland #china only: https://gadgettendency.com/a-modern-elec.. Specifically these little #cars would be great for non- #motorway use, i.e. #local #shopping and/or #deliveries - #school #pickups , etc. I think the market is there if somebody is willing to do the #investment !
This is *exactly* what I have been waiting for, #autonomous #electric #cargo #ships https://hackaday.com/2021/09/14/the-worl.. This was absolutely inevitable. I propose that in the future there will be smaller versions that travel more frequently, to meet #supplyanddemand ... Items could become #nextday even many Countries away!
Pretty impressive #mileage posted for #mercedes #benz new #electric vehicle: https://electrek.co/2021/07/22/mercedes-.. Their new #ev is supposed to get 600+ miles!
I still believe #recycling will be a massive part of getting #electric #vehicles to the masses anyway: https://hackaday.com/2021/07/15/recyclin.. Converting older vehicles to become an #ev will be big business in the future.
Heh pretty cool idea for a #electric #scooter #hack https://hackaday.com/2021/07/09/3d-print..
