“Who Killed The Electric Car?” explores the creation, limited commercialization, and subsequent destruction of the battery electric vehicle in the United States, specifically the General Motors EV1 of the 1990s. The film explores the roles of automobile manufacturers, the oil industry, the US government, the Californian government, batteries, hydrogen vehicles, and consumers in limiting the development and adoption of this technology.

The blue car is an original petrol BMW isetta from 1957…. The orange car- may look similar but it is in fact a brand new EV (electric car) we have made the steel body, the tubular chassis, the glass, the trim, the rubber. Indeed the whole thing! It has 4 brushless hub motors- so it is four wheel drive. It also has double wishbone front suspension, rear trailing arm suspension, and disk brakes all round, rack and pinion steering. So far we have done more than 800 miles in her over the last …

were sold to the public. The story continues: Presently the Th!nk factory in Norway is under new ownership, and the company (Think Nordic) has plans to start selling the new model in 2007. We hope they will sell the cars in the US since the new model has already been approved by the DOT, and the market for electric vehicles is MUCH stronger now than it was just a few years ago. I personally believe, based on my contact with the general public here in Northern CA that they can sell thousands of …

I am looking at building a electric car from the ground up
but i want a onboard charging system for the scenario where i'm not anywhere near a outlet(woods)

now I am looking at a 160v w a AC motor linked to a manual fwd trans
now the original plan was to use a generator (and build a larger tank and move the controls inside the cab-key/breakers– inside the driver compartment and mount the gas motor/alternatior to the frame w motor mounts to lessen the vibration) i want to produce 220 and charge in half the time(4/5hrs)
this would make it a hybrid kinda because the charging system would only be in use when the car is stopped and the key/motor were turned on

now at first i was going to go from generatior to a 220v charging box(the same type as if i was going to use a 220v outlet)but is there any way i could go without it
not only would this save room and cash but the less stuff to replace the better.
I can't go further in design until i get the charging system worked out
thanks
i'm using a generatior(plan b)
the controls are going to be inside the driver compartment the engine/gen will be behind the driver in a seperate compartment
Think of a lawn mower sized engine i'm looking at less then 40 extra pounds for the gen setup+the weight of the fuel
it is a back up system so i don't get stranded or have to bumb some juice off of a friend
i'm looking for a light weight alternatior that will produce the 220 to charge the system then i need to find the most efficent engine to run the generatior
I have a 3.5 briggs that i have jetted to run full throttle for 6.5 hours on 1/2 gallon of gas
i just need to find a alt to make the charging system work

overall i want to run till almost dead and then have the motor turn on and charge the system withhout my interaction but i want controls to the motor in case something goes wrong it is easier to hitt a kill switch then to have to stop in a hurry
but there are not alt/charging that will charge while operating avl

The rest of the energy is lost to engine and driveline inefficiencies and idling. Therefore, the potential to improve fuel efficiency with advanced technologies is enormous.
