Oak Ridge Sets a New Record for Wireless EV Charging - 270 kW
Oak Ridge Sets a New Record for Wireless EV Charging - ORNL's zippy prototype delivered 270 kilowatts to a Porsche TaycanTop this Elon! Top this Elon! Wireless charging has some real potential based on studies that I have seen. For those not familiar with IEEE, this is the kind of useful insight that you get as an IEEE Member to IEEE Spectrum Magazine. If you are interested, I can give you an IEEE Referral link. I believe the rate is significantly disounted for joining past mid-year. Regards, Kim ------------------------------------- T. Kim Parnell, Ph.D.,P.E.

New & Used EVs that are Less Expensive than Equivalent Gas Cars!
Hi to All, The excerpt below is from Coltura: Moving Beyond Gasoiline¡¯s current e-newsletter. For those of you who might like to subscribe ¡ª request to be added to their e-newsletter mailings via info@.... New & Used EVs - Now Less Expensive than Equivalent Gas Cars The average price of a used EV in May 2024 was $28,767, compared to $40,783 a year earlier, a 42% decline, according to a recent study. The average EV now costs $2,657 less than the typical gas car. In another study, long-range EVs with more than 300 miles of range are now less expensive than the average gas car. The new Chevy Equinox, for example, with a 319-mile range, costs under $35,000 with the new federal tax credit of $7,500. That price would be even lower in states with additional EV incentives such as California and Washington.

For Sale Used 200 Ah Sinopoly LiFoPo cells
2
I have 40 cells for sale. They have all been tested for their capicaty. They range from a low of 120 Ah to a High of 148 Ah. The average is about 135 Ah. They are still useful for a solar storage or battery backup. About 13 Kwh at 144 vdc. I have replaced the cell in my car because the range had dropped to about 35-40 miles. They could still be used in a car if do not mind the limited range. I have the jumpers and bolts that go with the cells. I am asking $65.00 per cell or Best Offer. George Stuckert

$5.77 miracle (Re: [eaasv] smart ED "brake malf. Workshop")
$5.77 miracle. It was just a fuse.. (and these fuses aren't even covered in the owner's manual..)
|
|
Does anybody have a smart ED? Last night, just before getting home, it started beeping and showing "brake malf. Workshop". Various googling seems like it could be: * wiring harness issue * fuse issue (fuses near the 12V battery, and my replacement was manual and I had to have an AAA guy get it all the way in, so who knows, maybe that affected the fuses, but that was months and months ago) * actual brake cylinder or other vacuum issue I can still manually brake by pushing REALLY hard on it, and of course usually do regen braking by letting off the accelerator (though the smart doesn't have one pedal mode).. so am still driving very carefully on slow city streets. at least to work and eventually dealer. Will prob go to a Benz dealer since they were who sold smarts when they were in the USA?

solar microgrid EV charging update
7
Howdy, One of our members Tom McCalmont has his own company that has a solar powered charging station that provides shade for the EV parked under the solar panels. On top of that, it can be installed in one day and is completely independent of the electric grid. That means there is no connection to the electric utility company, no trenches for power cables, no getting permits, etc. If you move, you can bring it to your new location (some assembly required). It has battery storage so you can still charge even after the sun goes down. The update below shows feedback from the media and their customer in Davis, CA. Congratulations to Tom and his employees for a job well done. Jerry Pohorsky Electric Vehicle Association Silicon Valley Chapter President eaasv.org ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Tom McCalmont at Paired Power <info@...> Date: Wed, Jul 17, 2024 at 11:18 AM Subject: We¡¯ve reached a tipping point in solar microgrid EV charging adoption across the country To: <jerry.pohorsky@...> Cities across California and the nation are leaning into clean energy for EV charging The enthusiasm and genuine appetite for alternative energy this year is unlike anything we¡¯ve seen before.

Who was the First EV President?
To All EAASV Members ¡ª A little bit from EV History to entertain you¡. Sybil From: Green Car Reports <newsletters@...> Date: July 14, 2024 at 9:06:24 AM PDT View this email in your browserNewsFirst DrivesGuidesTOP STORY OF THE DAYThe first electric-car president? Ike Eisenhower liked them Dwight Eisenhower's in-laws and wife Mamie were electric-car pioneers¡ªand so were the general's grandchildren. Our 34th President, Dwight David "Ike" Eisenhower, may have been one of the first. Long before Ike became perhaps the 20th century's most famous general, Eisenhower drove around in an early electric car that belonged to his in-laws.John Sheldon and Elvira Doud, Eisenhower's father- and mother-in-law, owned the car¡ªa 1914 Rauch & Lang electric car. It had been advertised as the first EV in America with a top-mounted worm drive, and could be driven from the front or the back seat. At its top speed of 13 mph, it could be driven up to 100 miles, according to donation material supplied with the car in 1953. Ike met their daughter Mamie in 1915 and asked her to marry him on Valentine's Day the next year. The two courted, then married on July 1, 1916. Ike drove the car often until it was donated to his museum. The Douds, a well-off couple who raised Mamie in Colorado, bought the car for $4,300 in 1914. That's the equivalent of more than $135,000 today¡ªfar more than, say, a 2024 Mercedes-Benz EQS 580 sedan. The above photo shows: 1914 Rauch & Lang electric car and President Dwight Eisenhower
