@tsport100 -- you are getting your electric panties in a bunch. There is NO description to read with the video I saw. If Oregon is 58% hydro, 7% coal, where is the remaining 35% of electrical coming from? Claiming that all electric rechargable vehicles emit no emissions is not the truth, the emissions are displaced from the tailpipe of the vehicle to another source.
Recharging for 20 minutes after each 1/4 mile? doesn't seem too environmentally friendly.
@cbemerine that is in the future -- what is the car running on NOW? Although i agree with you and support the concept of 'every home a power plant.' There are some clear obstacles: urbanites, renters, home aesthetics, and persons living in areas where the climate/weather won't permit the first two options. The best options for low environmental impact travel is electric rail mass transit, walking, or bicycling.
Hey why not twice as many batteries and make it awd, slightly more efficient motor(slightly less power), and rally it!!!! Lasts longer and better grip
Thanks very much ts. We are on our 2nd Prius. 48-50mpg. 75,000 miles. Toyota is saying that the battery is lasting beyond 100K. We have a 2007 now. I hear people are putting a different or double battery pack in them and getting over 100mpg. Can you confirm this? Also, I have a 1984 Dodge B-250 Van. I have that big 8' bed in the back. Is there any way I can use it for batteries and a system? I have had this poor van for 19 years. It has a 318. Can I experiment with this? Thanks very much! Art
@krusher1974 Yes, but, a 2007 does not hold enough of a charge to make many miles free. Did you hear that a bunch of men in California and wherever, are doubling up on the batteries and getting 100mph. Why can't I get enough of a charge out of some battery system in our Prius so that I do not have to buy an electric unit. I drove and liked the Chevy Volt. Solid. Quiet. Then I drove another one that ran out of battery power. It was noisier. But it hadpower. I drove the Leaf. It was nice too. But.
I think its a great idea but gas cars have created some of the greatest sounds you could ever hear. When the Ferrari's, zondas,austin martins, skylines,impreza's and american muscle cars ( to name a few) are made sound like a hairdryer i will give up on motoersport.
Lithium is a durable not a consumable and it can be recycled. The average EV uses approx 75kg of Lithium and it last 10 years, while over the same 10yr period the average ICE car consumes 6000 gallon or 18 tons of Gasoline burnt at approx 15% energy efficiency.
The US power grid does a substandard job keeping homes and business covered, it's not ready for electric cars on a mass scale, no amount of fans and/or solar panels are going to make the difference. Lithium isn't the answer due to there being 2 places in the world with enough deposits, you'll make them an empire that dwarf the arab oil barons, and the mining process will do more damage to the environment, look up what mining causes, it can't be made green!
80% is insane! Try "Energy in the United States" on Wikipedia, that says 49.1% or eia . gov "Electric Power Monthly" for August says Year-to-date is 43.1%. Pretty easy to find, these are 2 of the top 3 results on Google.
And these are failed comparisons in the fact that you are racing cars that weigh 1400 lbs more than you. Bring that car against a car in your weight class and I'd like to see that comparison.
This video gives me hope for electric cars. However, Even though this video is a few years old and it appears he was using top of the line equipment he still only converted a light car. I think I'll have to wait for technology to improve a lot before I can convert what I want (1990 Buick Electra Wagon) Into full electric without sacrificing space or too much power.
Just out of curiosity - I see his rear tires smoking because the torque he can bring to bear makes them overspin - what if he fitted his electric powerplant to a chassis with four-wheel-drive, to deliver torque to all wheels at once?
Yes much of our electricity comes from oil and coal but the main issues of electric cars are distance and life of batteries. The distance you can travel on one charge is next to nothing and the lifespan of our current batteries are not worth the expensive cost. Yes we need to convert to alternate resources but it needs to be practical.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Where did that electricty come from? Oil and coal burning plants, that's where. And it loses efficency to get to a main station and then again to get to your house and then again to get to your car and once again to get to the wheels. All in all, not really an efficent way to power the car...and don't kid yourself, electricity causes pollution...just not one you see directly.
@ColdNapalm42 Good to see you've done ZERO research on teh subject yet profess to know it all!
Hydro actually generates 58% in Oregon (In Washington it's over 70%) and coal less than 7%. Across the US Coal is less than 45% and Oil less than 1%! Good effort mate!
@tsport100 can you provide a reference for these numbers? We had a education specialist with a government agency here a couple months ago and he quoted 80% coal in the US. I thought this was high but 45 seems low to me also. Not challenging just trying to be informed.
the guy is a creep He is a bloddy underachiever ask him where he got all his know how from and those nice bateries and not to mention the secret electric motor he stole
$1.00 per 100kms with MUCH more performance than with petrol at $20.00 per 100kms
wow in aus our pet cost 1.35 per lt and i use 10 to 100km so my stock car 1997 el ford falcon is better efficient then u running and its 6cylinder and top out at 186kmh
but wow that elt car it good but how long dose the batt larst life time
@17hmr243 The EV still costs 1/10th as much but your Falcon doesn't do 0-100km/h in 3 seconds like the EV. Any ICE car that can has around 500hp and costs approx $20 per 100km to run.
just would like to ask something that when he recharges he uses electric that is coming from a powerplant that is 99% gonna burn fossil fuel or coal so either way he is still burning fuel just indirectly so is what im saying correct? if its wrong pls reply
Electric is the way to go for drag racing.......more volts = more power......only has to go a quarter mile......a motor with one moving part......and you dot have to rebuild it every second run.....to tune it ..just plug in the laptop.
Mate Rimac with electric BMW e-30 is faster than Zombie... Mate's time is 10,927sec on 402m.. Mate is from Croatia and that,s faster electric car in world (street legal)
Not any of those car were actually drag raing cars put him up against a nova with a built small block and locked 9 inch rearend you know something fast and lets see this happen again.
Check out this hippymobile, yeah you have instant torque and only weigh 2500lbs, but 300 horsepower? The record is 10's? The only thing this car blows away are cheap sports cars and weekend warriors. This thing is just a giant RC car, and when it gets up to 120 it tops out. It's only leg to stand on is acceleration, meanwhile there are street legal cars that run 8's at 160mph.
@MajoritySays A. It's a Datsun. He could build a faster vehicle I'm sure, but that car's chassis and suspension aren't designed to go any faster without having a wipe out, it's a fast as they can safely run it. What he is doing is proving the concept and developing the technology.
Electric seem to be great for the drag strip...after all you only have to go quarter mile....and to add power just add batteries...no mess...and it seem reliable.
@TheNo1n00b but think about how big gasoline's footprint is to that 3 bucks worth of the electricity he used. Come on get your facts straight If you read the latest on the batter technology you'll see that they are cleaner than they've ever been. FUDGE people we've gotta stop humping the middle leg for oil. One fricken day there will be no more, ITs bad for us to continue using that crap.
This is super cool, however it seemed to me most of the drivers of the gas powered car (cough corvette, cough M3) where rather suckie...plus unmodified
lets also not forget the environmental impact of creating and disposing of batteries...that's something completely ignored
@M1American How do you think fuel is made? We don't just fill our cars with crude oil from the ground now dont we. Coal burning to make electricity OR crude oil processing to make fuel & motor oils...
Thanks,the world is gone a get better if most of the car goes electric....you show the world how fast and powerful electric car can be...I would like to have electric engine in my Toyota Yaris,even if it's cheap on gas! Patrick from Québec city Canada.
about $50,000 US dollars to make a bad-ass electric dragster. most of it is in the batteries, batteries are in their infancy compared to age old recriprocating pistons. to all you electric haters, the first cars ever made were electric, it was only when internal combustion was made "safe" that it became a viable competitor. watch "who killed the electric car" you'll understand. this is the future!!!
Wrong, you have supply the horse energy (food) even when you're not using it. It farts and poops releasing methane and other hydrocarbons to the atmosphere
The bicycle is the best, more efficient than walking or running. Don't have to generate electricity or burn fuels for chemical energy and you don't have to feed it.
I like to know how much energy is produced by the lithium battery? In addition, what would happen if it starts raining while the electric motor sparks?
@tsport100 That doesn't contradict the real problem. MAKING and DISPOSING of the batteries is the problem. Most electric vehicles pollute a lot more then there gasoline counterparts overall. Anyone arguing the it is just as bad because you have to charge the batteries however is mislead, because electric power is much more efficient to use, and power plants are much more efficient at making power from fuels then your car engine, so it is a step forward in that respect at least.
And I did "LIKE" this video, incase you missunderstood my last comment. I like what you do. Keep on building, I hope to see you one day on the track in person, you have built a monster of an electric car.
@Vaicurious your stupidity amazes me. this beats 90% of cars from 0-100. the reason it does 120mph is because its electronically limited so retards like you don't hurt themselves. the tesla roadster does 120mph, 0-60 in 3.4 seconds and goes 300 miles on 1 charge. it gets around 180mpg converted. and it takes an hour to charge. i bet you believe in god and watch fox new huh? fucking idiot...........
personally , if you look at what the conventional cars are doing, they are letting him win, the first corvette didn't even hit the throttle until the white zombie started moving
Soooo instead of buying Nitro for my future cars im ganna have to buy Energiser Batteries LOL!!!!! This is grate, i wonder how many cops r ganna give speeding tickets for illegal Duracell Batterie parts LOL!!!!
Finally a video that xplains how r we gonna coup for all those street racing cars we r leaving behind in the electric transition.... And for all the haterrrsss is good to know that ignorance is a bitsh!!! Electric cars produce more torque than a Gas car so they r wayy fasterrr!!!! Lol how grate is the Motor Engenier Science!!!!! :)
I want one, lol how much would one of these cost? And i would also love it to be on the street, and a guy in a Jag challanges me to a race :D oh what he wouldnt know lol
god, why are all the car companies going for electric cars!!! They should only use them for tiny city commuter-cars and mopeds, not for sports cars!!! They should use bio-fuel from plants instead! They produce less SO2 and harmful particulates than gasoline, and the CO2 they produce is absorbed by the plants used to make the fuels!! Simple.
If the batteries are fully charged, how far can you travel with this car? and how long does it take to recharge after that? I'm really curious because this car looks pretty cool on the track
Curiously, those who complain about pollution from electric cars & hybrids don't actually give a shit about carbon output or climate change - they just think they have a valid argument against these vehicles. They don't however, as even a simple Google search will show.
how long in your estimate would the batteries last in that car just doing daily driving? Let's say an hour per day? Also how long can it go on a single charge?
Soon we will have a Genset that will fit in place of the Battery Pack. It is small enough to fit within the motor compartment and Direct power this Electric Motor.
No need for all that extra Weight of the Battery Pack. Best of all it uses no Hydrocarbon Fuel.
The one MAJOR problem is the Electric Car won't be accepted until there is a infrastructure of charging stations in place to support it. It's kinda pointless to have a car that'll go from 0 to 60 in nothin flat, if you can only drive it within a 25 mile radius of your home, before the darn thing runs out of go go juice. Get THAT lil problem fixed and you've got yourself a real winner :)
@crushed51 The company "Better Place" has made that a prime selling point; they have battery exchange stations that can switch a battery in less time then it takes for a gasoline fill-up.
One of the problems with this is that many car makers refuse to go along with an industry-standard battery; that would be a big help, of course.
Biodiesel is clean from Algae, as the Algae captures C02, plenty of studies done, plus the yield contect from Algae is great, 1 acre of Algae can create 100,000 gallons of Diodiesel a year, so imagine a Algae farm the size of Yosemite National Park.
Solar thermal power plants will replace fossil fired plants. The plan will stabilize the 2030 electrical expectations in the USA. For those of you that don’t know, solar thermal plants already produce 40 + percent electrical efficiency which is equal and potentially in the future will be even more efficient than fossil fired plants. They are cheaper, environment friendly, will create four times the in state jobs, retained earnings, and economic impact than fossil fired plants. So with that....
@tsport100 So how did this guy convert his car to electric? Swap ICE for an Electric motor, add a power converter and some batteries and then... what? Or is that it? Ask this guy to put his plans up on YT for us all to see. I wouldn't mind changing my car to electric if it gets more than 200 miles before I have to recharge (most of my journeys are over 120 miles, one way) but I'm in no rush to BUY plans that may not work!
It's fast! But how long will it last? Does it need recharging after every 1/4 mile? Can I get to the shops AND BACK? I need to know distances not just top speed. Great doing 100+ mph but worthless if I can only go 20 - 30 miles! Need at least 200 miles per charge or else it's not competitive! I HATE petrol stations, at $10 a gallon, so I want an alternative. Is this it?
@tsport100 yes and my car does 60 miles per gallon, i have VW polo blue motion, so twice as efficent, its ment to do 70 mpg but i only get around 60 from it

@tsport100 Accually, EV's use about 0,15 kg of lithium per 1 kWh.
That means average electric car uses about 3-5 kg of lithium.

Check out this hippymobile, yeah you have instant torque and only weigh 2500lbs, but 300 horsepower? The record is 10's? The only thing this car blows away are cheap sports cars and weekend warriors. This thing is just a giant RC car, and when it gets up to 120 it tops out. It's only leg to stand on is acceleration, meanwhile there are street legal cars that run 8's at 160mph.
But hey you save a whole lot on gas I bet.

about $50,000 US dollars to make a bad-ass electric dragster. most of it is in the batteries, batteries are in their infancy compared to age old recriprocating pistons. to all you electric haters, the first cars ever made were electric, it was only when internal combustion was made "safe" that it became a viable competitor. watch "who killed the electric car" you'll understand. this is the future!!!

phatl12345 5 months ago
@tsport100 That doesn't contradict the real problem. MAKING and DISPOSING of the batteries is the problem. Most electric vehicles pollute a lot more then there gasoline counterparts overall. Anyone arguing the it is just as bad because you have to charge the batteries however is mislead, because electric power is much more efficient to use, and power plants are much more efficient at making power from fuels then your car engine, so it is a step forward in that respect at least.

@Vaicurious your stupidity amazes me. this beats 90% of cars from 0-100. the reason it does 120mph is because its electronically limited so retards like you don't hurt themselves. the tesla roadster does 120mph, 0-60 in 3.4 seconds and goes 300 miles on 1 charge. it gets around 180mpg converted. and it takes an hour to charge. i bet you believe in god and watch fox new huh? fucking idiot...........

god, why are all the car companies going for electric cars!!! They should only use them for tiny city commuter-cars and mopeds, not for sports cars!!! They should use bio-fuel from plants instead! They produce less SO2 and harmful particulates than gasoline, and the CO2 they produce is absorbed by the plants used to make the fuels!! Simple.

Curiously, those who complain about pollution from electric cars & hybrids don't actually give a shit about carbon output or climate change - they just think they have a valid argument against these vehicles. They don't however, as even a simple Google search will show.

A few questions,
12 - 14 mins to charge per 1/4 mile. Does it deplete more because of the high speeds or are you using less batteries for weight?
Estimated total distance on a full charge and how long and is there a difference charge time?
What was the cost to convert?
Off the line like that sure does make it exciting!

The one MAJOR problem is the Electric Car won't be accepted until there is a infrastructure of charging stations in place to support it. It's kinda pointless to have a car that'll go from 0 to 60 in nothin flat, if you can only drive it within a 25 mile radius of your home, before the darn thing runs out of go go juice. Get THAT lil problem fixed and you've got yourself a real winner :)

@crushed51 The company "Better Place" has made that a prime selling point; they have battery exchange stations that can switch a battery in less time then it takes for a gasoline fill-up.
One of the problems with this is that many car makers refuse to go along with an industry-standard battery; that would be a big help, of course.

Biodiesel is clean from Algae, as the Algae captures C02, plenty of studies done, plus the yield contect from Algae is great, 1 acre of Algae can create 100,000 gallons of Diodiesel a year, so imagine a Algae farm the size of Yosemite National Park.

Solar thermal power plants will replace fossil fired plants. The plan will stabilize the 2030 electrical expectations in the USA. For those of you that don’t know, solar thermal plants already produce 40 + percent electrical efficiency which is equal and potentially in the future will be even more efficient than fossil fired plants. They are cheaper, environment friendly, will create four times the in state jobs, retained earnings, and economic impact than fossil fired plants. So with that....

@tsport100 So how did this guy convert his car to electric? Swap ICE for an Electric motor, add a power converter and some batteries and then... what? Or is that it? Ask this guy to put his plans up on YT for us all to see. I wouldn't mind changing my car to electric if it gets more than 200 miles before I have to recharge (most of my journeys are over 120 miles, one way) but I'm in no rush to BUY plans that may not work!

It's fast! But how long will it last? Does it need recharging after every 1/4 mile? Can I get to the shops AND BACK? I need to know distances not just top speed. Great doing 100+ mph but worthless if I can only go 20 - 30 miles! Need at least 200 miles per charge or else it's not competitive! I HATE petrol stations, at $10 a gallon, so I want an alternative. Is this it?
