Re: [EVDL] EV Grin doubled, Hub motors.

Or maybe, and try to stick with me here, just maybe, this company that has spent tons of money up front on research and development that has test articles which achieve <100Wh/mile at freeway speeds has somehow engineered high quality hub motors. I don;t think there is anything in physics which di

Of course, Aptera is also "breaking the mold" with their hub motors. Yes, Time will tell of course. And I hope that we start to see them hitting the road by the end of this year. -- next part -- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

Re: [EVDL] EV Grin doubled, next level PV Aptera grins.

That is sort of impressive, however at 18mph there is basically no aerodynamic drag. And yes, a century old baker electric was already very efficient. It's easy to tell because the waste heat produced was very low even back then. The Aptera remains efficient at freeway speeds, and the differentia

Re: [EVDL] EV Grin doubled, next level PV Aptera grins.

I believe the Aptera should be somewhat more safe than a motorcycle. I think they have crash test data and their passenger shell is very strong. It is more efficient than a motorcycle as well. I didn't intend to get into the weeds regarding the engineering trade offs... I just thought the Aptera

Re: [EVDL] EV Grin doubled, next level PV Aptera grins.

I'm looking forward to being finally proven wrong about the practicality of PV on your EV when the Aptera starts being delivered... Of course they did it by making a body that is multiple times as aerodynamically efficient as your average car. At 100Wh/mil (10miles/kWh) what would be 4-10miles wo

Unfortunately, to the best of my knowledge, your 2021 Tesla and 2020 GM Bolt purchases do not qualify. The new incentive lifts those old 200k vehicle caps, but only going forward from 2023 Jan 1st and later purchases... Since Tesla, GM, And Toyota exhausted their 200k vehicle limits for the old in

Maybe I worded that poorly, perhaps what I should have said was more along the lines of: There is no standing contract with the general public to supply Tesla vehicles for $35k or $30k or some other imagined "affordable" MSRP cut off point. There have in fact been times in the past when Tesla
