DIY Electric Car

MARCH 10, 2012

However I have been busy buying parts and I building myslef a lab power supply for a old computer ATX power supply which I had lying around. Hope to finish the Volvo this weekend and then start de-ICE ing the Saturn. Oh also my wife has booted me out of the dinning room and the basement has become my electrical design room now.

It appears that it is no longer viable for companies to designate one of their brands as green because advanced fuel efficient technology is expected across their range. For example, in 2008, it was rumoured that Toyota would build an entire brand around the Prius. However, this plan has now seemingly fallen by the wayside.

America’s first ground-up design pure electric sportscar since the EV1 arrives again. The keys will likely be handed to me (and EV1 co-veteran Linda Nicholes) by Bob Sexton, the very mechanic who rotated the tires of our EV1s at Saturn Marina del Rey back in 1998. But this week takes me right back to car heaven.

As underscored last month when GM announced it would build a plug-in hybrid version of its Saturn Vue, the logic of electric propulsion is compelling. But add more batteries and an electrical plug to the design, and they've got instant access to power that radically changes the efficiency and emissions equation.
