2011 VMC Everest - World's First Plug In Electric Pick-Up

[superhotbm]

You should talk with Thane C Heins is the way to go Dr. Agnew. Free tech I believe. Unlimited Range and truly amazing technology.

[laurapet]

NIce try but we want free energy cars. Levitating magnetic propulsion.Yes just like George jetson, Keep trying. We already have them. Its hidden technology all you have to do is find the information,

[TheAndr00e]

Great idea, Mr. Agnew. Now you just need to design a more custom-equipped body-style for bed with the rails going higher so the driver can pack more stuff in the back. A more powerful engine with wider tires would help in big city traffic. This would appeal so many young drivers if possible. How much is it? When are you going to the Hollow Earth? You are like modern-day Albert Einstein.

Some improvements to this range. (I don't like oil but propane could be used). - Energy return wheel(less resistance tires) - Noble Gas Engine (plasmerg) - Cyclonepower WHE (great tech) - Green steam engine (generator) - Millennialresearchcorp (electric motor) - Wave Disk Engines - BRASH™ Engine (steam engine with quasiturbine) - Torvec's IVT(similar to VMT) - Chb-evo engine. Many many more options...

wonder full of no gas

[mikaylaboo1]

My ideal car would be a hybrid electric/gas or propane.

[mikaylaboo1]

Yes, but how well do the batteries hold a charge in cold weather?

[brooksagnew]

@mikaylaboo1 They have been tested down to -10F and perform very well. There was no noticeable drop in range, except for the use of the heater when the motor is not making enough heat to keep the cabin warm.

Looks awesome, thx Brooks:) One thing I've always wondered about electric vehicles is the affect on the human field around the heart. .. I know electrosmog has a measurable destructive interference from certain frequency settings..ex:60hz, vs 8hz, 432hz being beneficial constructive wave embed-ability. Full spectrum light is a good example of this which I'm sure you know. Might be something to look into...could be a good selling feature if it is tuned to improve human health while you drive.

[brooksagnew]

@inphiknitfractal Hey that is a great observation. The prevention of this electrosmog is exactly why we decided to work without an inverter. That high-voltage, high-frequency, AC field may not be good for you. We decided to stay with the fully DC power supply all the way to the motor controller. The inductive field is blocked from the cabin by the steel enclsoure. We hoped this would be seen as our high value on health and human safety.

What is the battery cost and life span?

[brooksagnew]

@SeeingAmerica The batteries are costly, but we are in a position to offer the very best batteries available. We currently use the state of the art. We will always use the state of the art. The more vehicles we ship, the lower the cost gets, to a certain point. They will last for at least 8-10 years. They come with a 2-year full replacement warranty. At the end of their life as a pack for your truck, they can be sold for storage cells for wind generators or solar power stations.

[pukster101]

Do you have them in automatic, when are they coming to Canada?

[brooksagnew]

@pukster101 Automatics are coming, but appreciate the compexity in making this power-effective. This transmission is revolutionary and will not be ready for about a year. However, driving a VMC manual transmission is like having an automatic. Select the gear that works best for your condition; ie, city, and drive with your right foot. The beauty of the clutch is being able to feather the truck into a parking space without sweating spinal fluid. Single-speed EV's are fender benders in a can.

[brooksagnew]

@pukster101 Canadian dealers are already making inquiries. The trucks do wonderful in cold weather with no loss of range.

[brooksagnew]

@pukster101 Not yet. The conventional automatic transmission won't work very well for electrics. So, a new type had to be invented. That has been done now. The next task is to build a production prototype. Depending upon capital for tooling, we build a production model, and then offer them for sale.

[btester1]

@brooksagnew

What is the status of the vmt transmission. Will you use this one. Is it going to be produced in Korea. Wonderful technology.

[brooksagnew]

@btester1 Yes indeed. we have an agreement and a PO in place with VMT. We are strongly supportive of their technology. It is patented and it works. This will revolutionize the way power is delivered to the wheels for all types of vehicles. Besides being the only AT design that will work for EV drives, it will save billions of gallons of diesel in large trucks when that design comes out.

[greenspirit8]

Absolutly amazing Dr. Brooks!!!

The design looks very good, even so I focus more on functionality than the look of something...but the wheels round the whole truck up, from top to bottom it´s more than worth every $ you pay for it...in my opinon it is worth more...this truck is for the future...invaluable!!!

[brooksagnew]

@greenspirit8 Hey. It is a truck. You want a bed liner, custome wheels, a motorcycle rack, a mobile car wash, or whatever mounted on the back? It will carry 1000+ pounds without any problem. And, you don't even need a dual turbo to be quick enough to turn heads.

[greenspirit8]

@brooksagnew Hello Dr. Brooks! Would it be possible to cover so much surface on the truck with solar panel´s to have a constand recharge, strong enough so we wouldnt have to plug the truck into the wall anymore? I´m thinking of a 99% self-sufficient vehicle, would that be possible?

[brooksagnew]

@greenspirit8 Solar panels can provide up to about 6 amps there are four panels in fair sunlight. That 6 amps recharges while you're parked, coasting, or accelerating. The accumulation does add some range, but it cannot make up for steady driving at 50 miles an hour. Hence, driving the batteries will eventually run low on charge. There is no solar way to sustainably drive at speeds above 5 miles an hour. The sun will eventually recharge the batteries without plugging in. 100% sustainable.

[tubeshok]

@brooksagnew, you should consult with Foose Design on the next model. Americans want cars and trucks they can fall in love with... /watch?v=7cyWAzHXTDA

[brooksagnew]

@greenspirit8 Solar power supplies a little trickle charge to the batteries with a single panel, which will help the lifetime of the batteries. The van-back vehicle has 4-6 square meters which will supply all the power needed to recharge a half-discharged battery pack in a single day. It is possible to run this delivery truck for several days without having to plug it into the grid. The panels are the most efficient in the world, non-glare, and shatterproof.

[SuperOzDude]

Fantastic, good luck Dr. great vehicle. It ain't pretty but neither is a Hummer!

Bring them to Australia!

[blarough]

Designed for the modern drug dealer on the go

[AnnofAmerica]

Way To Go Dr. Brooks. Although I cannot afford one, I am excited to say the least as our Mother Earth needs a break from all the exhaust of gasoline/deisel driven vehicles and so do we. Also, I have been dreaming of a vehicle (even though like I said, I can't afford one right now) and this design would do me good. I love it !!! Did I mention I love it? haahha

[brooksagnew]

@AnnofAmerica You know that there are numerous rebates that you can get? What if you could get into the truck for less than $18,000 out of your pocket and buy zero gas to drive? That means you drive the car for free. The savings on fuel are more than your car payment.
