To get around this, PG&E would like to install a 220 interface in garages with timers and also implement dynamic pricing to encourage customers to charge between 11 at night and 4-5 in the morning. Who is going to install that 240 volt charging system in the garage if that’s what somebody chooses to do? —Jon Lauckner.

Porsche 914 EV Conversion

SEPTEMBER 9, 2007

For the final test, I installed the unit back in the 914 EV, turned on the ignition and turned on all the accessories. I'm a bit miffed that CCPower could have solved this issue themselves with a cheap (69cents from Radio Shack, cheaper in bulk) transistor. The DCDC seemed to handle the current reasonably well without heating up much.

FreeGeek sells those supplies for about $20 ($10 if you volunteer more than four hours there - cheap!). If I don't do it now (before installing the battery boxes), it'll probably never happen.

I wasn't sure what I was going to do for balancing as anything on the market is not cheap. Dimitri, a buddy of mine from Florida who is working on his second conversion, ask what my plans were for balancing, but I had none. Here is a picture of them installed in the car. I named them Volt Blocher.

The bad part is you can't use your standard cheap OBDII tool to read and clear these codes. It turns out Honda installed a backup way to do all of this in case your scanner software wasn't up-to-date! So after doing some research on why the EPS light would come on it's exactly like a check engine light.

I was going to post all of the battery rack and battery installation in one post but there is a lot involved and it's taking longer than I thought so figured I'd break it up some. I installed the finished assembly. It was very lightweight and cheap so seemed worth trying out. Here are those side holes that were drilled.

Here is a picture of the final coupler installed on the motor. This is quick and cheap to do and will prevent anything getting in the motor during the build. My Uncle had to order it from a supplier he uses. You won't find this at Napa or Ace as it's a very uncommon pitch for that diameter.

ECE hopes the glamorous image of these conversions will help raise the profile of electric driving. The vehicles were converting are expensive, at EUR109,000 for the Elise, car included and EUR75,000 for a Golf conversion, excluding the car. You dont see them in the street. The cost of ownership for EVs is still quite high.

Biofuel projects are going to have trouble getting financing from Wall Street this year because all of them have questions about the long term pricing of petroleum; most of them have concerns about the pricing stability of their feedstocks; and many of the cellulosic projects have concerns about the conversion technologies.

“We have 10,000 engineers out there every day, installing and servicing boilers,&# he added. There are about 600,000 GHE installations working in the U.S. alone; that number could be tripled in three years, and millions of homes and office buildings could install GHE systems over the next ten years.

Millions will plug-in their electric vehicles (EV), plug-in hybrids (PHEV) and fuel cell vehicles (FCV) at night when electricity is cheap, then plug-in during the day when energy is expensive and sell those extra electrons at a profit. In the future, utilities will pay you to plug-in your vehicle. Carlos 12:43 AM walt the memecaster said.

Some—like the burlesque artist Ann Corio , whose phone conversations were recorded in a dragnet search for incriminating information on prominent midtown residents—were the targets of blackmail. Tiny, cheap, and almost impossible to detect in action, induction coils were in wide use in wiretapping operations of all sorts. main frame.

Furthermore, changing the battery pack on say a Toyota Prius often costs a fortune, at least in most European countries, so such cars better be VERY cheap, but they’re not. In most conversions cost is about the same because of needless weight. In EV’s they do need replacing in about 5 yrs if done right.

I’ve written recently about the pulverizing one-two punch that AB 811 – which gives property owners 20 year loans to pay for solar PV installation – and AB 920 – which pays solar PV owners for any excess solar power they produce and pump back into the grid - packs. AB 811 is already law and here in L.A.
