Surprisingly, given that there's no engine that needs cooling under the hood, the I-Pace has a big grille for a nose that'll look familiar to the brand's fans. Detroit | If you consider the Jaguar I-Pace, I advise testing the systems, and climate controls extensively during your test drive. Transcript of a hands-free phone call while testing the vehicle: Me: Paul? You free? A: I have a minute before a conference call. M: I want to check what you think of the Jaguar I-Pace. I'm driving one, and I hate it so much I want to crash it into a wall. A: What? I loved that vehicle. I'll call you back in half an hour. Paul is Paul Eisenstein, auto writer and a peer whose opinions I respect, but don't always share. The kind of person to call when you're thinking about aiming an $US86,000 ($121,000) electric luxury vehicle at a bridge abutment rather than spend another minute trying to adjust the air conditioning fan speed. Conversations like this are the bane of auto makers, as they try to reinvent themselves with electric vehicles, self-driving robot cars, vehicles on demand and other new challenges. Some of them behave as if it's unfair to expect them to create new types of vehicles and simultaneously deliver features we take for granted in today's cars and SUVs. The 2018 Jaguar I-Pace, the brand's first electric vehicle - if you don't count one-offs built for royal weddings and the like - is a perfect, and occasionally maddening, example. It's an accomplished electric vehicle that's barely average among luxury SUVs due to faults that have nothing to do with the innovative zero-emissions drivetrain at its heart. Eisenstein never called back, by the way. That's Paul, but he had given me what I needed: A reminder that an early-adopting tech fan might love a vehicle that reduced me to sputtering obscenities when I tried to make a simple phone call. Maybe you're that tech fan. Clearly, I'm not. Here's the lowdown on the new electric Jag. Behind the Wheel - 2018 Jaguar I-Pace - All-wheel-drive, five-passenger luxury SUV - Price as tested: $US85,900 (excluding destination charge) - Rating: Two out of four stars - Reasons to buy: Electric power, looks, acceleration. - Shortcomings: Frustrating climate controls, poor smartphone integration, poor voice recognition. How much? The I-Pace uses a brand new architecture Jaguar Land Rover developed for its upcoming electric vehicles. Sales just began around the world. The first deliveries to US customers are expected in November. All I-Paces have two electric motors for all-wheel drive, one on each axle. They produce 396 horsepower and 512 pound-feet of torque. The five-passenger I-Pace is a compact SUV. US prices will start at $US69,500. I tested a top-of-the-line I-Pace First Edition. It had a 360-degree camera, adaptive cruise control, 20-inch wheels, 825-watt Meridian audio, leather interior, suede headliner, heated steering wheel, blind-spot assist, lane-keeping assist, navigation, power tailgate and more. It stickered at $US85,900. All prices exclude destination charges. At 184.3 inches long, it's 2 inches shorter than Jag's conventionally powered F-Pace SUV. If you're determined to buy an electric luxury SUV, there's not much competition for the I-Pace. The Tesla Model X is more than a foot longer and costs significantly more when comparably equipped. The Audi E-tron SUV won't be on sale til the second quarter of 2019 and is 8.7 inches longer. The other announced luxury electric SUV, the Mercedes EQC, isn't due til 2020. If you want a conventionally powered but otherwise technically advanced and luxury-sport SUV, you have an embarrassment of choices.

[EVDL] Unaltruistic Koch $M's 4fake-EV-news are weirder than ever
https://electrek.co/2018/10/26/kochs-electric-vehicle-federal-tax-credit/ Oil giant Koch Industries try to stop the attempt to expand the electric vehicle federal tax credit Oct. 26th 2018 Fred Lambert [image https://i1.wp.com/electrek.co/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2016/02/koch-brothers-caricature-e1455894843425.jpg Rolling Stone caricature of the Koch brothers by Victor Juhasz: Inside the Koch Brothers’ Toxic Empire ] With a new Republican-backed effort to expand the electric vehicle federal tax credit, the Koch brothers are urging senators to vote against it – putting their political donation dollars at work. The situation around the federal tax credit for EVs is weirder than ever right now. As Tesla hit the threshold to initiate the phase-out, there are two different legislative efforts to change it. Earlier this month, a Republican senator introduced a new bill to end the $7,500 federal tax credit for electric cars and tax them even more instead. But a few days later, another Republican senator proposed a new bill to remove the federal tax credit cap for EVs and expand it to 2022. Now Koch Industries, which is a fossil fuel company owned by the conservative Koch brothers, is weighing in on the issue and unsurprisingly, they are urging senators to vote to kill the EV tax credit. Koch lobbyist Philip Ellender wrote in a letter to senators earlier this week (via Bloomberg): “Subsidizing the wealthy with tax dollars is not only bad policy, it also increases our national deficit. I urge you to oppose the expansion of credits on plug-in electric vehicles (EV) through 2022.” It’s not the first time that the Kochs have used their political weight to lobby against electric vehicles. In 2016, the Koch brothers launched an offensive against electric vehicles through a multimillion-dollar lobbying campaign. Electrek’s Take The EV federal tax credit is giving tax dollars to the rich and increasing the deficit? I must be dumb because I thought that the giant corporate tax cut that they lobbied for achieved that – not the EV tax credit. As I like to emphasize when talking about the EV tax credit, I acknowledge that it’s not a perfect solution, but it’s the best we have short of a carbon tax. Without a carbon tax, it means that all non-EVs are getting important subsidies and therefore, it makes sense to directly subsidize EVs to compensate.

The event, sponsored by Bayou Electric Vehicles, Wurst Biergarten and NextGEN Utility Systems will feature live music, free gumbo and an opportunity for community members to learn more about clean energy initiatives. All donations will go toward funding a vehicle charging station. The station will be located in downtown Lafayette and will serve an added benefit of bringing drivers in from off the interstate. “This would be the second charging station of its kind in the state of Louisiana,” said Dr. Jeff Leblanc of Bayou Electric Vehicles. “It would be the only station like this conveniently between Lake Charles and Baton Rouge, encouraging drivers of electric vehicles to pull off and charge in downtown Lafayette while enjoying local businesses.” Robert Guercio, owner of Wurst Biergarten in downtown Lafayette said, “As a local business owner, I’m excited about the opportunity to attract even more people to downtown Lafayette. This charging station would help us reach people who otherwise may not be inclined to spend some time enjoying all that Lafayette has to offer.” “NextGEN is proud to partner with Bayou Electric Vehicles and Wurst Biergarten to sponsor this event.” NextGEN Managing Director Jeff Baudier said. “Sponsoring events like this is one of the many ways NextGEN plans to support the Lafayette community. We will be there with our families and encourage everyone to stop by, enjoy some good food and get to know our team and what NextGEN is about.

Re: [EVDL] EVLN: The physics of slapping solar panels on cars
With half the population living in urban areas, including suburbs, we're talking about a lot of people who don't have room for more than two vehicles even if they want more. Even two, though, gives you a much better fit than one-for-all.

I think the Stella might be able to do the first two, for a large percentage of people. The latter two? I doubt it. You're right; people tend to want a "universal" solution; one vehicle to do everything. But that's not really practical. It forces compromises so the vehicle is not really good at anything. You see luxury pickup trucks that can't really haul anything, or huge SUVs being used for single-person commuting. So most people have more than one car. Each vehicle can be more closely optimzed to the job it spends most of its time doing. One hopes that EVs will often be these second vehicles. If it's for commuting, it doesn't need long range, or high seating capacity, or towing capabilities. The owner will have another vehicle for that. -- Obsolete (Ob-so-LETE). Adjective. 1.

Re: [EVDL] EVLN: The physics of slapping solar panels on cars
I donno. My family of four before the kids left had 5. Not a one cost more than $5k.

Re: [EVDL] EVLN: The physics of slapping solar panels on cars
If there was a vehicle that could do it all the Stella vehicles would come close...except for towing, and carrying big loads...pretty big but not pickup big. Also their monocoque construction is very strong and they have 5 point seatbelts which make them as safe as formula 1. Lawrence Rhodes -- next part -- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I really need three cars, but drive one that is not idea for the majority of my driving, but required for some of it. I can assure you that a full sized, crew cab 4x4 pickup is NOT the ideal one person commuting car, but is required for other stuff... I could rent (and have a few times) one of the three, but the truck as equipped can not be rented.

Big corporations aren't about altruism; they're about profit. GM has simply decided there is more profit in staying in the EV market than in getting out. I'd guess they spent a lot on EV tooling, and will lose it if they don't sell enough EVs to recover it. GM is so big that it is a "nation" onto itself. They pay little attention to what the other automaker "nations" do, and are influenced more by their own internal politics. -- Obsolete (Ob-so-LETE). Adjective. 1.

I appreciate the cynicism, but I find no evidence of that. That article is old, but I suspect that the data still applies. It says nothing about a government bailout. So they are losing money on the Bolt. The Prius lost money for 10 years, but is Toyota’s most popular car. These folks are in it for the long game, and have been investing in both types of EVs. - Mark Sent from my Fuel Cell powered iPhone > On Oct 26, 2018, at 4:04 AM, Paul Dove via EV wrote: > > Of course they do because they are losing money on the bolt.
