Just a brief update; I've reserved a new Chevy Bolt, though they wouldn't let me put any money down for the reservation, which makes me wonder if they're aiming for an ol' switcheroo with the price....

More experimentation with rear wheel covers.

Decided I want to give the rear wheel covers another crack.

My plan is the following:

1) Make some good looking rear wheel skirts out of foam.

2) Find a plastic shop in town that can make...

https://i.imgur.com/3nYWUiK.jpg

The side skirts have been on for around 3,000 miles now. I slapped them on as a proof of concept, but I'm not sure they're the "definitive" version. So, while I...

Mild update

Haven't worked on eco-mods lately, but I *DID* install a dash camera today---front and rear. The rear camera even picks up when I push on the brakes, which should help if I ever need to submit or use...

Throwing stuff at the wall to see what sticks w/ respect to tire boattails.

Hello everyone. Been a hot minute since I've done anything productive on the Leaf; but seeing my numbers drop precipitously from my summer highs has motivated me once again.

Can confirm, own leaf. Is a box. Actually pretty stunning how bad it is from an aero standpoint, for it being an electric car and all. In city driving, it's easy to blow the EPA estimates out of the...

Cheers everybody, been really struggling with mental health if I'm honest, so I haven't gotten to a lot of Ecomodding lately.

It's in front of the wheel. I think if I were to do this for real, I would use ABS so I could bend it, and just make 1 big piece.

Took my car out to my parent's house and got some free electricity along the way. Blade runner vibes from the side skirts, kind of hilarious.

Another quick doodle.

I love blue, so I figured I'd go for something a little more simplified and see what comes out. Like this one a lot, has more of a prototype aircraft look to it, to me. Still got 3 more templates, so...
