Cheapest fully electric vehicle coming to Canada soon
- Thread starter mentalfloss
- Start date
Makes me wonder how much of the taxpayer's subsidizing them solar panel farms and wind farms caused those increases in electric bills in Ontario????
Money doesn't grow on trees. My electric bill shot through the roof to pay for carbon capture so we don't need to import CO2 to extract even more oil.
Cool. Mitsubishi has some pretty good technology.
battery technology is always improving, also.
Not only that but if there's a generator, going down some hills will also recharge the batteries. Could also hide a wind generator underneath somewhere as well as having a solar panel of two on the body. Besides, an electric 4WD would be cool because you could actually have 4 wheel independent drive without a lot of weight spent on diffs, trannies, engines, etc. and if you place the batteries well, they'd be near the wheels for decent traction and weight distribution.
hehe Maybe use captured CO

² for a vehicle that runs on it. 
Just out of curiosity, say i got one and I wanted to go cross country could I build my own charger that was powered by a single cylinder high efficiency diesel engine attached to a high capacity charger and put it into a tiny package that I could tow behind the pure electric vehicle.
NG would be great for Canada if you could fill up at home. (and some upgrades that save you fuel while sitting in the long line at a Timmy's)
I'm quite sure cities can manage their traffic lights a lot better than they do most of the time. (or an engine that powers way down when idling)

yeah, but Ontario is broke.. you're subsiding your Provinces debt via taxes.
cheaper in Alberta & BC..
I keep telling my family to leave Ontario before Quebec owns it..
Does Quebec ship power to Ontario and mark it up like they do with the power they get from NFLD and sell to NY? How the did that ever get passed (allowed to remain in place) after it was know what they did?
You are fast (and good if it works) I'll give you that, does it also come with the parts for the engine that will allow going back to 11.0 to 1 compression and fat faces on the valve grinds?
Can I use it in diesel directly if it is fed into the storage tank through bubbling while under pressure. Be more practical to have the hot exhaust sent the gas into the vapor zone and then emissions and high mileage are easily obtained.
I suppose you have those in your pocket as well. lol
I want the one that goes on the upstream side of the meter BTW

I was thinking of high pressure injection and dual sparkers and variable cam that would have some cylinders get 0 fuel on the idle cycle or leaned out to 25 to 1. That also feeds the compressed air into a cylinder that is still firing, bringing it's compression up to 15 to 1.Combine that with a 'regenerative transmission' that stores the braking power for release on acceleration from a dead stop mostly. Then for you comfort buffs there is the ne spring mag that adds 3" of super soft dampening to the ride even before it hits the hub. That is still in the manual set, if you want a stiffer spring crank the nut one way, a softer spring also allows for a wider footprint on poor weather roads.

I hadn't noticed...
Somewhere I seem to have missed the part about the cost of replacement batteries every couple of years.
I thought this was a NG engine in theory?
You could have a NG system for that fuel, the ones on the market today inject propane into some part of the air intake.
Speaking of spark-plugs if you could develope a really fat spark you could invent a new steam engine where water vapor in a cylinder is instantly turned into steam.
Wasn't that what that mineral find in Afghanistan was supposed to solve?
The extra demand on electricity is going to hit cities that can barely handle a scorcher summer or a blizzard filled winter.
In the post apocalyptic world that car would be easy to spot. It would be the one with two guys on the roof doing the same thing the old hand-cart users did back when the RR was king.
