The rules explicitly exclude devices used to charge a motor vehicle that is powered by an electric motor drawing current from rechargeable storage batteries, fuel cells, or other portable sources of electrical current, and which may include a nonelectrical source of power designed to charge batteries and components.
The evoTractionBattery, on the other hand, can be configured within a few hours, whether it’s being used in a golfcart or a lorry. This creates clear parameters for the vehicle design. Our customers are generally looking at a development time of up to 2 years for a battery pack and the accompanying battery management system.
launched a new family of large cell prismatic electrochemical double layer capacitors (EDLC) for transportation and utility applications that are lower in cost for the overall system design. Ioxus sees this series as serving smaller, golf-cart type vehicles and utility vehicles, as well as for engine starting, Hall said.
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.
I'll have to modify the circuit with a voltage doubler in the final stage to work with 8-volt golf-cart batteries for the 914 EV kit. Big thanks to Max at and all the other supportive engineers at HP for designing this circuit. Any feedback on how to improve the circuit would be welcome.
Who needs a golfcart when you’ve got a… golf bike? That’s the thought behind Fairway Bikes’ new three-wheeled electric bike designed for golfers, helping kick the lazy golfcart for a more interactive alternative. After retiring, Jim was playing more golf but found it challenging to walk the course.

Golfcarts aren’t just for golfers anymore. In fact, they’re getting much more use away from the golfing green as an alternative to cars in neighborhoods all over the US. Now Kandi America’s new collapsible mini golfcart is trying to reframe the concept of low-impact urban transportation.
After spending the past year and a half converting a Porsche 914 to an electric vehicle, I decided to expand my horizons by designing an open-source electric vehicle (EV) conversion kit for a commonly used car. With rising gasoline prices, I believe the demand for freeway capable electric vehicles is going to increase over the next few years.
Instead, you can get by with a low-speed vehicle like a golfcart or bicycle. While they look like golfcarts, GEM’s electric cars stand out among small vehicles. The batteries mean they have zero emissions and are better for the environment than gas-powered cars or golfcarts.
I think youd wind up with something like the wacky-looking electric cart that has earned the dubious honor of being named this weeks Awesomely Weird Alibaba Electric Vehicle of the Week ! A vehicle like this is designed to send a statement. The post Awesomely Weird Alibaba EV of the Week: A $7,000 armored golfcart?
Micromobility Europe , the euro-focused sister show of the Micromobility America conference, is one of the main industry-focused trade shows concentrating on a wide variety of small-format vehicles designed for personal mobility. That includes everything from e-bikes and e-scooters to golfcarts and micro-cars.
The original CivicWithACord design used 18 8-volt golfcart batteries. After some debate on the Google Group and dealing with clutch-link interference issues, I'm tending towards 12-volt group-31 AGM batteries for the initial design. I'll see if Rob is willing to share his battery rack design.
The 914 AC kit uses 8V golfcart batteries and I'm wondering if different batteries like Hawkers or Optima Yellow-Top batteries would be better. Both US-Battery and Trojan have 8-volt golf-cart batteries. With the AC system, I'll probably be pulling less amps and am looking forward to the extended range.
While the design of the shaft and transmission adapter is not open-source, there are many other parts (like the DC motor) that aren't open-source as well. With a clutched system, I just order the shaft and transmission adapter from Electro Auto and everything is just done.
I'm working with an analog design engineer at HP to come up with a homebrew BMS system that does charge sharing similar to the PowerCheq systems, but for much cheaper, hopefully around $10 per battery instead of the $75 that PowerCheq units cost.
These high-capacity 8-volt golf-cart batteries are 70 pounds apiece. Here is the battery strap designed for these kind of batteries. I got this battery strap at a Yamaha golfcart dealer. Tonight was an evening of heavy lifting. I'll definitely take some ibuprofen before tomorrow. The fuel compartment box.
Grant recipients include state governments, local governments and metropolitan transportation authorities, in partnership with an active designated Clean Cities Coalition(s). The grant program may provide up to 30 geographically dispersed project grants, with a ceiling of $15,000,000 and a floor of $5,000,000.
It’s designed to be set up in just one day. It’s our own design, and we make it here in the United States. Tom McCalmont: With our design software, we can basically accommodate any size. They’re using those to charge service vehicles, like golfcarts for campus use, rather than cars. kW EV chargers.
I'm not sure how much current these golfcart batteries are designed for. If my ammeter from West Marine is correct, then just cruising takes about 50 amps and every time I accelerate even slightly, the current goes up over 200 amps.
Note that the pink quick-disconnects are tied to the right two terminals and not the far left and far right terminals as in the original DC design. Without the saddle boxes that came in the original 914 DC design, there are few places to tie this cable to.
Kandi America , best known for its range of electric golfcarts and eUTVs, has just unveiled three new electric go-karts designed for off-roading fun. The few electric off-road karts that exist are either designed for children, have specs so pitiful that they ruin the fun, or cost as much as a car.
Green Watt Power , a division of Powerland Technology, has added 8 new models to its Diamond Series of ruggedized, fully potted AC chargers, which are designed to serve low-voltage EV applications, including material handling, motorcycles, scooters, forklifts, golfcarts and RVs. It features colored LED status indicators.
Microcars, often referred to as quadricycles in Europe and Low-Speed Vehicles (LSVs) or Neighborhood Electric Vehicles (NEVs) in the US, are a niche category designed largely for urban travel. The funny thing here is that I can already tell you what the detractors are going to say: that it’s an overpriced, glorified golfcart.
The electric fire truck is designed to everything a conventional one can–and more. The Rosenbauer electric fire truck is designed for urban operations. Now, the Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD) is showing off North America’s first electric fire engine from Austria-based Rosenbauer Group. Making History.
Smart scale-maker Withings isn’t calling its new product a tricorder; instead, it calls its BeamO device a “multiscope” that is designed to monitor key vital signs—acting as a thermometer, oximeter, stethoscope, and electrocardiograph machine. Perhaps, however, that gadget is about to hit the market.
The initial step is the creation of 25 mobility experiments across the globe designed to help change the way the world moves. Using Georgia Tech-owned golfcarts to prove out the technology, a person sitting in a remote location can access real-time video streamed over LTE to drive the carts.
In a room there, separated from the rest of the vehicle (as well as the engineers testing them), supercar engines are pushed to their limits by computer programs designed to replicate extreme driving conditions. One standout benefit of the extra time is a visit to Maseratis engine testing lab.
Micromobility Europe , the euro-focused sister show of the Micromobility America conference, is one of the main industry-focused trade shows concentrating on a wide variety of small-format vehicles designed for personal mobility. That includes everything from e-bikes and e-scooters to golfcarts and micro-cars.
With Bafang developing its own bicycle transmissions that are designed to work with higher continuous power found in electric bikes, reliability should see a significant improvement. The companys designs have often been imitated, but theres no substitute for the real thing, especially as NIU has rapidly expanded its wide range of offerings.
This range is specifically designed for building projects up to three stories tall and to comply with the updated European Safety Standard EN 14439, which establishes standardized safety guidelines for climbing tower cranes. The first Evy self-erecting crane unveiled by Potain, via Manitowac.
Steiner designed the prototype himself, basing it on the 1908 model, and then engaged the Chinese manufacturer. It’s basically just a souped-up golfcart, but Ford wouldn’t allow them to import it into the US. They make sightseeing vehicles, and they’d built an EV that resembled a Ford Model T,” Steiner said.
If you’re sick of posh, quiet SUVs built around their infotainment screens and a bunch of weird nerds calling a pack of soulless golfcarts shuffling around a movie without steering wheels a utopia, Hyundai N’s absolutely unhinged RN24 concept might just be for you.
Across the archipelago, around 200 homes have been designated “posadas nativas,” offering an opportunity for tourists to stay with a local family — usually under the watchful eye of the matriarch — in their home, and to eat local, Raizal foods. I’d never driven a golfcart any significant distance, so when Ms.
