Re: [FLEAA] EV suppliers on the East Coast?
Does anyone know of an EV supplier on the East Coast? Most of the Places I am finding are all in California. I am looking for EV suppliers in general, but I am also looking for an EV motorcycle/scooter supplier. Any contact info in this regard will be greatly appreciated. ___ Florida EAA mailing list listserv@floridaeaa.org http://www.floridaeaa.org

Re: [FLEAA] no net metering yet
Hi Charles and All, - Original Message Follows - From: Charles Whalen [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Florida EAA ListServ@Floridaeaa.org, Jamie [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [FLEAA] no net metering yet Date: Thu, 4 Sep 2008 01:02:57 -0400 You will never have an annual credit if you live in South Florida unless you have a huge system and never run your AC. You don't need AC at all in South Florida if you design your house correctly. I have met several such people with homes in South Florida who do not need and don't use AC and yet live and sleep cool and comfortably, including some green architects and some PV homes; I have been in one such home myself. There are people with PV homes in South Florida who *do* have annual credits. Another way is to insulate well with a small area and stay cool. I can't sleep if over 80F and high humidity. But my electric bill is only $40 last month with full time cooling. That's only 8kwhr/day so one should be able to get a check at the end of the yr. I got my PSC comment on net metering in the record. Only 6 people bothered to comment so we could really make a difference if just 20 of us commented regularly on PSC policies. I also commented on Nukes and AE on other PSC rules. Will comment shortly on the new rate increases which are up 30-50% over the next couple yrs on the west coast on why AE hasn't been implemented as wind, solar thermal engines, tidal power and conservation are cost effective and becoming more so as fossil fuel, nukes go up in price. As for net-metering, what I can tell you from the legislator who authored and introduced it into the legislature is that it is a done deal, passed, signed into law by Governor Crist, finished, completed, and implemented by the Florida PSC. I was sitting in House Majority Leader Adam Hasner's office just a few days ago and had this very conversation with him. He said he was quite sure that the PSC had already implemented it but said he would check on that for me right there and proceeded to call up the head of the PSC, who confirmed it and immediately emailed Adam the relevant info, which Adam then forwarded onto me. Here is the information, from the head of the Florida PSC: --- Below is the link to the FPSC news release on approval of the net metering rule: http://www.floridapsc.com/home/news/index.aspx?id=370 Assuming they are implemented then this is a very good set of rules, especially with as pro public hookup cost, ect wise, putting the onus on the utility. The PSC aids are very pro AE, progressive and they write the rules, do everything so talk to them. 25-6.065 Interconnection and Net Metering of Customer-Owned Renewable Generation * The Rule 25-6.065 will further encourage the development of customer-owned renewable generation by expanding eligibility under the rule to all renewable technologies, and increasing the capacity covered under the rule to 2 MW. * The rule provides more detailed interconnection requirements by incorporating nationally recognized standards for interconnection and safety-IEEE 1547, IEEE 1547.1, and UL 1741-as well as explicit due dates for action by the utility and customer. * System size eligibility is broken into three Tiers: 1) up to 10kW; 2) greater than 10kW up to 100kW; and 3) greater than 100kW up to 2MW. * Tier 1 incorporates systems addressed in past FPSC rules, and will largely capture residential customers. Tier 1 systems are exempt from several fees and obligations applied to the Tier 2 or 3 customers, including: application fees, liability insurance coverage, expenses related to manual disconnect switches, and interconnection study charges (Tier 3 only). * The rule requires net metering for customer-owned renewable generation systems interconnected pursuant to the rule. * Credit for excess energy sent to the grid during any billing period will be carried forward and applied to the next billing period to offset the customer's consumption. At the end of the year any remaining excess energy credits will be purchased by the IOU's at their avoided cost rate. * IOUs will be responsible for installing, at their expense , any meters required to enable net metering of excess energy. * The rule states that any Renewable Energy Certificates associated with a customer's self-generation will be retained by the customer. If an additional meter is needed to measure total energy generated by the customer in order to obtain the RECs, the customer will be responsible for those costs. The customer may negotiate with the IOU for the purchase of the customer's RECs. --- Jamie, sounds like what you've got is a problem with FPL dragging their feet and not complying with the law. I would suggest that you first take this up with FPL, inform them that they are in non-compliance with the law, forward them this information, including my entire email regarding my conversation with Majority Leader Hasner and his phone call
[FLEAA] FW: Odyssey Day/SCC Car Show Oct 4th
Hi Everyone, Last year was the first year for this car show, and it was big then. I was there with my eBox and Charles was there with his Vectrix. There was definitely something there for every kind of automotive enthusiast. Jason plans to expand the classes offered at his college to include hybrids and electric vehicles. He would like input from our members about electric vehicles and also about a conversion he is planning. Jason writes: We also have our 1999 Cavalier Z24 donor car stripped of its engine and transmission. I need some feedback on what motor/controller to use with this vehicle. Any info would be appreciated!
