Since traffic is really light on Sunday morning, I drove to work (15 miles away) and back to see how the 914 would handle. I'm not sure how much current these golf cart batteries are designed for. Shifting was a real pain on city streets since the electric motor changes RPM very quickly during acceleration or regeneration.

In the process, I got some two-conductor wire to make the connections to the potbox switch and backup-light switch cleaner. Here's the side of the transmission with the two-conductor cable installed on the backup-light switch. Here's the somewhat finished potbox.

It's a pity that we have to remove this, but the size of the golf-cart batteries clearly interfere with the latch. Just for grins, I also shorted out the two terminals on the lower terminal block tied to the rear lights and (voila!) Here's the sawed off hood latch. The 914 uses pressure from the spare tire (??!!)

The 8-volt golf cart batteries arrived over 24 days ago and have just been sitting on the garage floor, discharging. The lower charge rate can be plugged into a 15-amp outlet that has a few other light loads attached. This is inside the driver-side fuel compartment looking forward.

Wait, you might be thinking to yourself, what about the Tesla Model S which single-handedly changed the image of EVs from glorified golf carts into fast as all heck, 300+-mile range, aspirational computers on wheels? The power transfer can be triggered automatically or manually based on customer preference.

The BMind, the company indicates, will not only recognize when a user’s mental state is less than par, but will suggest exercises and activities to improve it, including light therapy, guided meditation, and self-affirmations. But maybe that’s just me, so I’m trying to keep an open mind about Baracoda ‘s BMind smart mirror. Look Ma, no plug!

Sterile overhead lights illuminate mostly gray interiors in which S-shaped assembly lines weave across giant, open-floor work spaces. Inching slowly around the village for the rides first couple of minutes can feel like youve been conned into paying 14 per minute to drive a golf cart.

Before Tesla, they were seen as nerdy golf carts, far from usable as “real cars.” Back in the day, the original Hummer H1 was a military vehicle with a light veneer of consumer comfort. The Hummer wasn’t the first of GM’s new Ultium EVs to get the green light for production. Jaw-dropping specs. The 34-month project.

Various other companies are currently designing and developing fleets of fully electric emergency vehicles, including golf carts for police and ATVs for search-and-rescue operations. That’s the point California and other states are mandating all new light-duty vehicles for sale must produce zero tailpipe emissions (ZEVs).

Key Biscayne is known as a hub of car alternatives, most popularly golf carts, which cruise the streets just as commonly as larger vehicles. Electrek’s Take I don’t mean to make light of a tragedy, but this entire scenario is eerily similar to Footloose. Helmets and lighting can be required to help save lives.

The LED headlight on your e-bike can also be used for emergency lighting when the power goes out. To conserve battery further, the tail light may be able to be unplugged when using the headlight for nighttime lighting. The headlight uses very minimal electricity and can likely run for many days from the e-bike battery.

The fast acceleration capability of electric vehicles was a key component to reducing the “golf cart” image of EVs that existed before the Tesla Model S emerged in 2012. What we need are compelling reasons for people to buy an EV — and Ford has nailed it with its F-150 Lightning.

Several golf cart makers have LSV versions , though they’re open-air vehicles that don’t have many of the same advantages of enclosed microcars. And at just US $11,900, the Eli Zero is finally an LSV that is affordable compared to most of the offerings we’ve seen in the past. Sure, I love me a nice GEM.

It was needed to eliminate the view by many that EVs were simplify glorified golf carts. The public has seen President Biden accelerate in a Ford F-150 Lighting. In the early days of the modern EV all of about 10 years ago, quick acceleration was an important selling point and positioning message. The public gets it now.

We should be concentrating on eliminating the hoggiest of the hogs by hybridizing them or reducing their acceleration which BY ITSELF reduces consumption since it leads drivers to unlearn stop and go driving, instead timing arrival at lights to when they are green. You guys go ahead and buy your 40 mile per charge GM golf cart.
