A DIY E-bike Conversion on the Cheap

Cars That Think

Here I took advantage of already owning an electric lawnmower, figuring that the 40-volt, 4-ampere-hour battery I had for it would serve well. So I poured on the juice and blew past him, thereafter maintaining Tour de France speed. The third essential element of any e-bike is, of course, the battery. OK boomer," indeed.

Coulomb, MasterCard, and the future of public charging

Plugs and Cars

So if you find yourself by Pier 27 in a J1772 compliant or 120 volt-capable electric vehicle and are a Coulomb member or have one of MC's fancy new cards, two spaces with charge stations are available for the parking fee plus an as yet undetermined fee for the electricity.

Keepin' it simple

Plugs and Cars

All plug-in cars these days come with a 120-volt charge cord. This will actually be sufficient for many if not most Volt drivers, and quite a few LEAF drivers. An empty Volt pack will take 10 hours to fully recharge; an empty LEAF about 20 hours. They’ve kept my LEAF juiced, after all. Cost of upgrade: under $300.

The Workplace Charging Challenge

Plugs and Cars

Plug-in vehicle sales are indeed increasing, with the LEAF and Volt each selling about 2500 units in June 2013. Many workplaces could become EV friendly on the cheap, repurposing existing 120V outlets in parking areas and expressly allowing PEV charging.

Review: 2024 Ford F-150 Hybrid smooths out

Baua Electric

kwh lithium-ion battery pack that juiced a 35-kw (47-hp) electric motor sandwiched in the 10-speed automatic transmission.

I bought an electric chainsaw. Here’s what showed up (and how it worked)

Baua Electric

A couple clicks on Amazon and a few days later, a shiny green Ego Power+ 18-inch 56 volt electric chainsaw showed up at the door. For those who need even more juice, you can, of course, just keep a spare battery around. And so to me, the battery definitely seems to last quite a long time. So I’m really happy with this thing.
