New York City is adding 70 electric vehicles to its fleet: 50 new Chevrolet Volts, 10 fully electric Ford Transit Connect cargo vans, and 10 new fully electric Navistar E-star utility trucks. The NYPD already uses electric scooters and electric powered golfcarts on boardwalks, in parks and some transit hubs. Click to enlarge.
These high-capacity 8-volt golf-cart batteries are 70 pounds apiece. I pre-laid out these batteries on the floor to guestimate what the connections between the terminals were. I've got an e-mail into ElectroAuto for some connection diagrams, but haven't received the files yet. Tonight was an evening of heavy lifting.
Golfcarts are no longer just for cruising the country club. Thanks to US golfcart maker E-Z-GO , which partnered with National Calendar Day to help establish National GolfCart Day in celebration of the brand’s 70th anniversary, we can now all celebrate these pint-sized car replacements with their own holiday.
Tom McCalmont: PairTree is the product we’ve been selling for about a year, which is a pop-up solar canopy that can be a fully off-grid power source, or can be grid-connected. We have a relationship with EV Connect, and with LITEON, so we can use standard commercial chargers in addition to our own. How much solar do you need?
I'm a bit wiped from the initial burst of installing all the battery racks, so I took it a bit easier on Friday and Saturday to do some of the smaller installation steps. The two one-inch holes will get grommets for the high-current battery cables connecting the front batteries with the middle pack.
In the process, I got some two-conductor wire to make the connections to the potbox switch and backup-light switch cleaner. The blue wire has two conductors in it and replaces the two dangling black wires that I originally installed. Here's the side of the transmission with the two-conductor cable installed on the backup-light switch.
It's a pity that we have to remove this, but the size of the golf-cart batteries clearly interfere with the latch. Since heat no longer comes from the heat exchangers over the exhaust system, we're going to thread the high-current battery cables through the heater ducts to connect the front and rear components.
National Drive Electric Week event connects Indiana’s EV future with its EV past. It’s basically just a souped-up golfcart, but Ford wouldn’t allow them to import it into the US. If we don’t succeed, it will take effect next year and folks who install solar won’t be able to net meter any surplus they produce.” “We
With software controls and connectivity increasing on electric cars, speeds could potentially be limited based on location. The fast acceleration capability of electric vehicles was a key component to reducing the “golfcart” image of EVs that existed before the Tesla Model S emerged in 2012.

You even have the option of installing a Sony infotainment center with CarPlay or Android Auto integration. I’ve touted the Eli ZERO several times in this article, largely because it’s fresh in the news (I’m not connected to the company, and I have no financial incentive – I just like the thing). But there are other models out there.
The Maharashtra and central governments have launched a centre-state pilot ‘Solar2EV Project for Social Justice,’ hoping to expand the reach of the PM Suryodaya Yojana, which seeks to install 1 crore rooftop solar panels.

April 10, 2009 11:21 am Link Kaare- Lithium Ion batteries do not contain lead (unless it is in solder connections) and do not contain acid. I’ve written several posts about these exact topics: Firefly Energy: [link] True cost to own of EVs (especially read through the comments on this one: [link] — Nick Chambers 3.
Newly installed CEO Fritz Henderson argues that pioneering projects like the Volt typically lose money until the technology catches on. The fact that no journalists do their research to bring up all those connections is sad, sad. You guys go ahead and buy your 40 mile per charge GM golfcart. Call it the EV2?
