Which countries now have full-electric car technology besides China and Japan?

Q. BYD e6 electric full-size SUV: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BYD_e6

Nissan LEAF compact electric car: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nissan_Leaf

* Chevrolet Volt is not full-electric besides it needs gasoline as fuel.


Answer
It depends upon what you mean by "full-electric car technology" and by asking "which countries"...

Electric cars are not a national phenomena. They are things. National policies can promote electric cars but to my knowledge no country has nationalized an electric car building company and is producing electric cars on their own. Corporations may give some a feeling of national pride or identity but many corporations are multi national and may hold allegiance to no country.

Countries and areas that promote electric cars with incentives are more likely to attract corporations that are making electric cars. Such companies are in some ways not very different than other corporations. If an area will provide certain grants, property, utilities, or tax incentives then companies are more likely to build a plant in that location. Having cheap labor and reasonable lines of supply are also a plus. Selling their products may require a different set of incentives to attract buyers.

A case in point may be "Better Place." http://www.betterplace.com/ This company does not make cars. They sell a battery swapping service. They have several international initial target locations including: Israel, Denmark, Australia and Hawaii, San Francisco and Canada. The nissan leaf was to be a part of their system and may be in the future. For now they are swapping batteries on the Renault Fluence ZE. http://www.betterplace.com/ By some measure this might be considered a "full-electric car technology," but to what country are you going to attribute this technology? Shai Agassi, the companies founder and CEO has lived in California and Israel.

The Tesla Roadster is an American company and a media success. It is now selling their cars internationally, but the actual number of vehicles sold is presently just over 1000.1 Their are many lessor known electric vehicle companies that may happily sell you a vehicle that is hardly a production run. For a full production run of a full electric vehicle (BEV: battery electric vehicle) that is fully highway capable in the US we are looking to the Nissan Leaf as a first. Zap vehicles have been built in China for years and sold by an American Company internationally as motorcycles but we might not necessarily put these in the same class as the Nissan Leaf. The same may be true of other of the ess expensive Chinese cars.

I would agree that the Volt is not a "full electric" vehicle, but it is more electric than the more parallel hybrid prius. From a purist point of view perhaps even a BEV is not a pure electric vehicle as it uses chemistry in the batteries. A pure electric might use ultracapacitors for storage or something like this: http://electric-vehicles-cars-bikes.blogspot.com/2009/08/korean-researchers-develop-electric.html

Solar Panel wattage for my Electric Bike?

Solar Panel wattage for my Electric Bike?
I am looking to purchase an Electric Bike for transport to work. I work on an Organic farm and need to save some energy up those hills.

I need help figuring out what size solar panels would be needed to charge the battery, and whether its plausible.

I'm looking at Ebay in Australia as I am immigrating down there. I prefer to afford the foldable/portable solar panel system: 80 watt, 120 watt, 160 watt, but IF necessary a bit more.

300w 3 PHASE 36v ELECTRIC REAR WHEEL
THREE 12v 17ah SLA BATTERIES (Total 36v)

or

Motor: 250 Watt brush-less DC hub
Batteries: 24V/10Ah pack, valve regulated

can anyone out there help explain to me how to figure this out?

thanks :)

Dealers/Retailers of Electric Bikes and Scooters

Here's a partial list of retailers/dealers/resellers in the United States by telephone area code. Or use your web browser's Edit:Search function to find a city or state. Many of these retailers also offer repair services - even on brands they don't sell. We also list a few dealers in Canada, Australia, and Europe. For a more extensive list of electric bike businesses in the world, click here (http://energy.sourceguides.com/businesses/byP/ev/eBike/byGeo/byC/byC.shtml).

If you don't find a nearby dealer on this list, check with the manufacturer for the address of a retailer near you. Some manufacturers offer a "dealer locator" online. Also, here are two others sources of retailer listings:

How is it balancing on a ezip 500 electric scooter?




Sabrina


I am looking for a scooter that doesn't require a license to just ride for recreation primarily and maybe getting to the shops by my house/library if I feel like it. Can anyone tell me how the balance is on one of these, both standing and sitting? I have not tried one yet or any electric scooter for that matter.

Additional info: 5' foot tall female, average weight.

http://www.samsclub.com/sams/shop/product.jsp?productId=prod5000126&pid=CSE_Froogle&ci_src=14110944&ci_sku=sku5424125#BVRRWidgetID



Answer
Have not seen the 500 in action (Australia has these odd laws about electric bikes/scooters, nothing over 200w is allowed, anything above this is classed as a motor bike requiring a license and registration)
But we do have the smaller brothers of the 500 and they are quite good and pretty stable.
Looking at the images of the 500 it has it battery pack under the floor pan and sizable pneumatic wheels which all should add to it's ride quality.
It is made by Currie, a company with a long history of making electric bikes and scooters
http://www.ezipusa.com/13-ezip-e-500-.html
As with anything like this, range is dependent on the weight of the rider and the terrain (i.e. hills or the lack of them) the maximum range given for the 500 is 8 miles but that would be on the flat with the lightest possible rider, the real world number is usually less, say 5-6 as an optimistic guess, less if hills are in the equation. But 4-5 miles is still quite a good distance, I would certainly buy one of these if they were allowed here.

Answer
You will want to have some sort of voltage regulation.
If the panel voltage drops off you don't want to discharge the batteries on your bike.
And you would not want to overcharge your batteries.

Harbor Freight has a fold out 18 to 24 vdc solar recharger.(see link)

For a work/home commute you might not want to haul the charger around everyday.
Ask the folks at the farm if you could set up a solar charging station. They might even help.
I'd suggest a bicycle locker that has the panel on top and a couple spaces for bicycles with charging stations inside, out of the elements. Your employers may like the idea.

how do i get electric bike to spin the chain?

best electric bikes in australia image



csmuch41


i wanted to make an electric bike but i dont know how to make the chain spin... how does it work?

does electricity and battery make it spin or what how does this all work?



Answer
You are right. An electric motor and battery are what is needed.

But most electric motors are either direct drive in the rear hub OR there is a roller that drives the front wheel directly. With your level of expertise I'd recommend getting a kit. Australia do some good ones.

How do you stop a dog barking all the time?




camcorderk


Hi,

My dog won't stop barking at cars, bikes..everything really. It's becoming a bit of a nuisance for us and our neighbours.

Can anyone recommend a good dog training manual, guide or offer some suggestions themselves.

Someone recommended this dog training course by Daniel Stevens;
http://www.trade-secrets.org/stopdogbarking.html

Has anyone used it and is it any good? I'm always a bit skeptical of all those great testimonials...even with the pictures.

Cheers.



Answer
It sounds as if your dog is bored.

The citronella anti bark collars work for a short while until the dog figures out that when he barks he just moves his head away from the spray. As far as I know the electric shock ones are banned here in Australia.

Before you hand out all that precious money on training go to your local pet store and find him/her some toys to play with. There is something called a Kong where you put food inside of this toy and it takes them hours to get what's inside out.

Is there an australian company that makes bicycle generators.?

Gee 18


Like a training bike connected to an electric motor that charges a battery. I can buy one from america but want to shop local.


Answer
Yes, there are a few different brands. While Yahoo Shopping Australia and NZ didn't have many leads, I was able to find the motor kits, and the bicycles by doing a search: AUSTRALIAN ELECTRIC BICYCLES.

Check out NavTrak, which features hybrid bicycles:

http://energy.sourceguides.com/businesses/byP/ev/eBike/byGeo/byC/Australia/Australia.shtml

I would contact a few dealers directly because it wasn't clear, on the models I saw, whether the battery recharges while peddling. Usually, the generator is small and only powers the lights.

Check out the Australia Bike companies:

http://electric-bikes.com/retailers.htm#Europe

There is a brand called "Charger" that is based in San Francisco. It's models feature battery recharging while pedaling. Maybe a local bicycle shop would order one for you.

Here's a list of a few bicycle clubs in Australia that may be able to help with more info:

If you made 200,000$ a day, what would your new lifestyle be like?




Wear water


I would have a new room, a serious checking and savings account, everything on my someday wish-list, a pretty dress, etc.


Answer
200 grand a day?

Actually the US Government could have given all of us a one billion dollars, and it still would have been cheaper than all the stimulus bills and job creation false starts we've seen now.

And 200 grand a day would be skimmed off with taxes, so it's more like 50 grand a day. I can still work with that.

I'd live like a king, that's for sure. Travel a lot, see interesting places, not the trendy tourist traps. Always wanted to drive across Australia's Outback. Go for a lengthy cruise because I love ships. I'd build my own speakers for every room, just because I would enjoy building them. I'd buy a 72 inch TV and use it as a computer monitor. I'd buy Alienware computers or Powermacs.

I'd have a nice house built, lots of big windows. I'd buy the road bike and mountain bike of my dreams. I'd buy the biggest SUV available.

I would also start some kind of self-sustaining charity. See a need and meet it ten or 20 fold. Does someone need to collect 100 blankets or winter coats, I'd meet it with 100 more. Or pay several families' heating bills for the entire winter, or keep them cool. I'd have the wiring torn out of poor peoples' homes and have it replaced with new up-to-date wiring, then add an air conditioners and pay their electric for the year.

I would also pledge to help my family, whatever they needed. Medical bills, the roof of their home was torn off in a storm, the entire plumbing or electrical in a house has to be replaced, things like that.


And no doubt, there would be new found friends and "family" I never knew I had!
