Electric Vehicles etc

[dancaseyimages]

Pertinent to EVs seeing as they are really ramping up the smarty features etc.

Sssshhhh or taxpayers will get upset when a 'cyber/tech bro' comes out with a 'Government' spec vehicle that is just an electric vehicle with all sensors disconnected for $250,000
Like this classic, only $4k a pop + yearly support

High court strikes down Victoria’s electric vehicle tax in ruling that could threaten other state levies

An array of state charges including waste levies could potentially be unlawful after court overturns 1974 precedent on consumption taxes

The easy work around is to expand road tolls and zone charging.

Unless this court decision knocks out the states ability to charge those as well.

Think Tesla employees were recently found to be watching private video recordings from customer cars but it just seemed to be another issue the elon musk simps swept under the rug along with the murderous autonomous driving, spontaneous combustion, shoddy built quality etc etc.

Hate to think about the private information the wonderful CCP manufactured cars are collecting and using for god knows what.

Uhhh, buying a new car in 2023.

Kinda the same price though

But more range..... might be worth it

ZF makes magnet-free electric motor uniquely compact and competitive

Inductive current transmission unit inside the rotor enables ultra-compact e-motor design Performance data on par with permanent-magnet synchronous machines, currently the most common form of drive for e-vehicles Advantages: no magnets or rare earth materials, increased security of supply, and...

I'm guessing it transmits the energy for the magnetic field via an inductive exciter inside the rotor shaft.
But who knows ..

sounds legit...

So it has brushes, but a unique design of brushes lol

Wouldnt want to put them on the outside where they are easily replaced now would you...please purchase special tool 107, 442 and 210... Or take it to your local service centre.... it reeks of BMW tbh.

contactless brushes no friction or wear...

power is transferred to the stator?rotor? in a sort similar way to wireless charging for toothbrush or phone....
doesn't need heaps of power, just enough to get it off the line, then is inductive poer transfer between rotor and stator?

Removing permanent magnets must rob some electrical power that has to generate the magnetic flux?

takes some, but efficiency is affected by so many things.. and so many ways to drive motors....
spinny sparky things are complimacated

some semi-useful graphs and stuff here https://components101.com/articles/ev-traction-motor

Mahle claim 95% efficiency so clearly sorted.

Any new electric options to replace the utility for mountain biking that a regular person can consider? Eg sub $80k, decent load rating on the tow ball to take a bikerack

Or, alternatively, is there an affordable runabout to replace the day to day stuff? The electric equivalent of a suzuki swift?

 

[rowdyflat]

No utes yet.
used Leaf as runabout starting at $10K , the more you pay the bigger the range made a towbar carrier for bike rack.

I'm actually pretty into that! I wonder if they'll actually make any

Is this company real and not a joke?

Look at this bizarre amateur photoshop mockup of one of their models.
