Vefill 20 min car recharger will transform our world

[hab...@anony.net]

Just look Jim1 A miniscule three million dollar govt ie us
taxpayer subsidy had lead to the invention of this remarkable device.
Govts could put them on laybys so cars can recharge for free.
Surplus wind and solar power can come in useful and if a truck
carries one of these 200 pounds chargers it can nip into any farm.
Fuel costs could plunge tenfold leading to prosperity for all.
A scooter can probably be recharged in two minutes , so
eliminating huge oil and gas import costs.

Tritium introduces Veefil 50 kW EV fast charger
7 May 2013
Tritium, an Australia-based designer and manufacturer of power
electronic systems for electric vehicles, has introduced the Veefil
fast charger for plug-in vehicles. The Veefil is the first release in
Tritium�s new line of electric vehicle charging solutions and was
fully developed in Australia as part of a $2.3-million project funded
with matching support of a Commercialisation Australia grant.

The 50 kW Veefil supports both of the CHAdeMO and SAE J1772 Combo
connector standards. Supply voltage is 400-415V AC 3�; max supply
current is 85A (AC). The compact Veefil is 2000(H) x 750 (W) x 330(D)
mm.

Fast charging allows drivers of standard passenger EVs to refill their
vehicles twenty times faster than using a standard wall socket. Veefil
users can select either a half charge of about 10 minutes or a full
charge of up to 30 minutes.

Today�s best example is a company named Tritium, based in Australia,
that designed a supercharger called �Veefil� and which is intended for
other plug-in vehicles than the Tesla.

The project, funded by a government grant, produced a 50 kWh charger
that supports both CHAdeMO and the SAE J1772 Combo connector
standards, at a voltage of 400 to 415V AC and a maximum current of 85
amps.

Veefil will be able to charge an electric vehicle 20 times faster than
using a standard wall socket, the company claims. It�s possible to
select either a quick charge of 10 minutes of a full charge of 30.

I don�t know which vehicle they�re thinking of when they publish these
figures, but it�s not hard to guess: the Nissan Leaf, which got a huge
price cut in Australia these days.

Utter nonsense.

Charge time is limited by the laws of physics, the electrical service
available, and how big you can practically make the wire and connectors.

You are still an idiot.

The amount of oil to support all the scooter rickshaws in the world is
trivial.

Review of India's electric car with photos, impervious to dents

Review: Mahindra Reva e2o

I am a huge fan of electric vehicles for our cities and when
Mahindra�s new Reva e2o was delivered at my doorstep, I was thrilled.
To make and market an EV is a complex proposition. Besides the fact
that it is soft on the immediate environment it is more of a mind-set
issue than anything else. As soon as you mention an electric vehicle
or EV the first thing that comes to mind is no pollution and cheap
running costs. At the moment in India, or even in the rest of the
world, this has been the main factor for purchase of vehicles. But
unfortunately, this hasn�t translated to sales of electric cars in
India. Clearly, electric cars are still a product of the future.

Taking a look at the Mahindra Reva e2o, it is a well-engineered and
beautifully finished product. The car�s name is a derivative of �e�=
Energy, �2�= Connected Technologies and �o�= Oxygen, the force that
sustains earth. It is a very substantial claim to live up-to. Mahindra
contracted Dilip Chhabria to design the exterior. DC Designs turned
out a car that everyone thought should be cutting edge design, but
looks rather like a traditional hatchback. But on the inside it sure
is radical and endowed with the most modern technology one can
imagine. The chassis is like a rally car�s, it has an entire roll cage
design that gives a very high level of protection. The body panels are
made of multi layered resin bonded composite material with colour
impregnated into them. It means there is no paint job on the car. If
there is a scratch, the colour will still be seen through it and the
company claims a small hand polish will rectify this. This method
makes each panel ultra light and strong. This also means if there is a
big bump on the side, the panel will not bend into a �bruise� but will
bounce back. The molding of the bodywork is excellent and joints and
spaces seem seamless.

Once a bit used to the car, and especially the silence of an electric
vehicle, driving is really easy. I found the steering a bit stiff for
such a small car but once momentum is built up, it gets easier. The
overall feel of driving the e2o is like any conventional small car. It
is peppy enough in traffic and if you need more grunt, put it into
boost and it flies like a small hatchback. In the car I got I felt the
suspension was a bit too hard for Bangalore roads. Every small crack
and crevice on the road was transmitted to my body. The 13� wheels do
help a bit in taking on harsher road surfaces. However, it was not
uncomfortable but to have a car with minimum power and suspension
setup like a sports car is not the perfect combination. Harder
suspensions always work better at speed, and this was no different on
the e20. At one point I took it to 80kmph and felt that the car was
very stable and planted. Definitely it is not meant to be driven like
that, as the drain on the battery will be excessive.

The company claims 90km on a full charge and is more or less correct.
In fact if you nurse the car, it could go up to a 100km I feel.
Driving the car was a lot of fun. In the boot is a cable for charging
and a socket. I found the cable a bit short, but I guess if one is
going to invest in an electric vehicle one would also make
arrangements at home for charging.

Now, the crucial question of price. On the road in Bangalore the
Mahindra e20 would cost you just short of Rs 7.75 lakh. ($$15,000)You
have to love the environment tremendously, or have several cars to buy
it. Well, that was the general reaction I got from everyone I asked if
they would buy it.

Big deal; the body panels on Saturns (now out of business) were impervious
to dents. The salesmen used to delight in wacking the cars with big hammers
to impress the potential custormers.

And that was decades ago.
