Top Gear--- Electric, ugly, and awesome
Just ran across this, home made EV SUV looking thing, very ugly but it DID get over 60mph.

I love that thing, it's utterly comic. Calling it an SUV is a bit generous though, as it is neither sporty nor capable of any practical utility :P What does interest me, however is the use of a diesel generator to power the batteries. Surely this is the most efficient form of fossil/electric powertrain, essentially making it akin to a fuel cell vehicle. Has anyone on here undertaken a project of this sort?

Mother Earth News has the plans for something like that http://www.motherearthnews.com/Green...onversion.aspx
There's also an article on the Walker Dynamotive delivery truck from the '30s that's on here also. |
That was such a great episode of TG. New series starts next Sunday. Should see some fresh EV hijinx.
