Cool to watch some of these old videos. Can't wait to see if the next generation hybrids are decent. I really think the Mitsubishi evolution 11 hybrid will be the breaking point where I could actually want to drive a hybrid. We get our power from coal here so I don't agree with the pollution stuff.
I have kept my '64 Saab 96 thinking it would be a great candidate for EV conversion. Manual Brakes, Manual steering. It has a 42HP three cyl 2 stroke engine.
@Aireon7 Lets say everyone gets home around 6:00 and plugs in their car. All the windmills are running and what does the grid do to compensate? Fire up diesel generators which are the only generators that can start up fast enough to compensate. The more efficient coal plants (but still not great) take an hour or more to just start producing power, not even at full potential.
I love the idea of electric vehicles but you are only transfering the emmisions from your tailpipe to the smokestack of a coal burning power plant. Electric vehicles will only be practical when we have a sustainable/renewable way to produce electrical energy. I believe tha we need to invest in better nuclear technology.
@beke6874 Coal burning power plants are much much more efficient than internal combustion engine in cars, and power plants have better catalytic converters and emission standards with lesser toxic fumes and those toxic fumes aren't dumped to the streets.
Nuclear? YEah right. The efficiency of uranium fuel is only 0.2%. Sure it's thousands of times in energy density but the reactors are very inefficient, dangerous and ultimately you have to dump the radioactive spent rods somewhere.
@stiffyschlong False! The average efficiency of all coal power stations in the world currently stand at around 31%, approximately the same as an internal combustion engine. This is fact not opinion.
If we have enough uranium fuel, we need not be concerned with efficiencies. And what makes you think that is so dangerous? Don't build a nuclear power plant on a fault line. As for the waste, put it in a rocket and shoot it at the sun.
@beke6874 I don't know which Wikipedia entry you copy pasted that from but ur wrong. Wrong wrong wrong. You're just a schill puppet of the nucular elites!
@stiffyschlong Ha ha, I haven't read the whole conversation yet, but it looks to me like I am on beke's side. And if he didn't point it out, charging and discharging batteries results in a huge loss plus motor-control inefficiency, and the motor which is around 50-90 % efficiency. Basically you burn more coal and diesel to power generators to charge cars. Combustion engines are more efficient in the end. Nuclear isn't the way to go either, its space that we need to look at.
@stiffyschlong put a bunch of mirrors in space and aim it at a specific solar catching area and you have a high grade military weapon, along with a great power source.
@ho33es honestly, it would be nice to have for everyday use. for the routine "30 minutes to work" and "30 minutes home" person. sure, when you want to take a much longer trip, use your regular car and dish out the money, but this guy is still an inventor and i find it amazing. i don't need trunk space to drive to and from work, and i doubt most people do.
30 cents to fill up?...and you get 30 miles? I rather pay 50$ for my 11 gallons which will get me 330 miles.
Sure, you save on maintenance, but it's a very limited vehicle. , There's no trunk space thanks to the batteries; you can't make long trips; batteries have a pretty short lifespan, it's doubtful that you'll have all those batteries working 10 5 years from, and safely discarding those batteries isn't all that "green" . While i do think ev power is the future, it won't be for some time.
A power plant needs to burn coal, but its much cheaper and easier to put $500k worth of filtration on one stationary point source emitter than it is to put $1500 worth of pollution controls on every car produced.
@jmsrivastava1987 a how to manuel or a video of step by step!!! Im making a project car of a pickup truck next summer, gona see what I can do. Will make a video. The only big cost is going to be buying the electric engine! Wish me luck
this type of motors are easiest way to convert any car into electric but i think it is way too expensive keeping in mind its production costs... there are some cheaper motors in market. but guys which has at least ~mid end equipment in their garage even can build it by themselves :)
and i think it is better way to use two separate motors to front wheels balancing power between them on turns because it is better for traction :)
i am just wondering... the battery used in that car is rely small...

but now i have some sketches of my own brushless motor and i will order most parts i need from my local metal workshop neo magnets from internet and everything else from my local shops... if i save enough money until summer...
"He is determined to find an alternative to the internal combustion engine"Too bad this isn't it.Surely it broke the trans cuz its electric.Ever heared of the "electric engine like power"?Its instant,obviously its gonna brake it,cuz in fact on a proper E-car u don't use a trans only 4 engines.And what about that in 1 year in America will be only remain 10 milion people , cuz they should all be killed of a silent no heared incoming car .What about ethanol? that's the future not this lousy try .
I appreciate the technology but this guy is a pompous jerk. And if you don't want "some slob pouring gas down the side of your car" (insulting by the way) pump it yourself. Oh never mind you probably live in some hippy infested state where pumping your own gas is not allowed because of the spotted dick snow leopard is an endangered species. Sorry. Thumbs down!
@totalrandomcrap You really is a pompous jerk, and makes me hate electric vehicles lol .
I think it takes more effort to plug your car in, and charge it for 8 hours to drive 100 miles, then to take your car to the gas station for 5 minutes, and drive 400 miles.
as far as pumping your own gas. Well, those states just do that to hire people, to do useless jobs, so that they have jobs.
hello sir. allinaday you have a nice video of electric car. i hope that i can build one for me this summer sir if you dont mined can i have that electric wiring diagram including a electric accelerator control pls???? you can send to my email add my email is panyolito_1929@yahoo.com
The brake system of a petrol car is connected to the engine. THe air is sucked out of the brakes for it to work. But How did you overcome this when you removed the gas engine. What braking system are you using?
@FreePizza007 Electric cars can use electric brakes, and gas engine car brakes still will work without any assistant from the engine it just becomes heavier
I'm inspired of converting my dad's old mini minor car into an electric as the engine is clogged, gear box is rusted out, and there
are so much problems that for my budget, there are two options: A- scrap the car, B- turn it into an EV. I hope I'll manage to convert it into an EV! :D
Lithium batteries are good for seven to ten years and even though they cost way more than lead acid they last so much longer that their cost per mile is under ten cents. That is actually pretty cheap compared to an established gas car cost of over 50 cents per mile. Lithium batteries are simply very thin sheets of copper and aluminum with a super thin molecular coating of lithium...so that means they are 100% recyclable...much better than lead acid, which wouldn't last one call in a cell phone.
They fail to mention the car requires regular replacment of the worn out batteries. the optima deep cycles he uses cost about $289 ea. Put ten of those in the car just for grocery getting range and you have $2890 dollars worth of batteries that have a life span of maybe five years. This also represents a much larger requirement for lead mining a toxic metal.
Here's the really cool truth...women will LOVE electric cars!!! Wait until they find out how good they are! Smoother quiet riding (for a sleeping baby), easier driving, almost zero maintenance, never stopping at a stinky, smelly service station, the comfort of leaving home everyday with a full tank of fuel, the convenience of recharging at home, the satisfaction of being a good "Mom" to the earth by less pollution, the bragging rights and envy of friends & contemporaries = EV's are unstoppable!
Now that we have advanced capability lithium batteries; with even better lithium sulfur & lithium nanotube technologies coming, EV's are unstoppable! And absolutely necessary!! Fossil fuel is being burned away at 18 million barrels a day in the US and the whole world wants cars. We're going to reach & then exceed 100 million barrels a day consumption!! Fossil fuel cannot sustain that. And we cannot grow that much anything!!! Wake the freak up!!! Electric Cars CAN & WILL be recharged by the SUN!!
The whole argument about cross country driving is a false argument to begin with. How often do you go on a cross country trip? When you do, how many miles do you drive in one day before you stop and eat. pee and sleep? Have you ever driven cross country non stop (like a trucker on pep pills.)?? Who does that? NOBODY!!! These are arguments "DESIGNED" by clever people to intentionally discourage people from wanting Electric cars, so the Oil Companies can keep you stuck on their $3.39/gallon gas!
Yes, coal fired power plants do make some pollution, but it is miniscule compared to thousands of gas cars. And the cars are in the city, whereas most power plants are located away from downtown. Furthermore the power plants are so big to handle peak demand they cannot be throttled back. So they waste thousands of kilowatts overnight. By recharging overnight at off peak rates about 75% of all cars in America if they were EV's, could be recharged while you sleep, with zero additional pollution.
Everyone of the cross comments by the well dressed "experts" is a bald face LIE!!!
The latest lithium ion iron phosphate manganese batteries can be recharged in as little as 30 minutes. Want to go cross country Great! Thousands of charging stations are again being installed all across the country. Google it! There are aps available for your phone to take you there. Some are fast charge stations and many are at restaurants, by sports arenas and shopping areas as well as motels for FREE!!!
zero emission is hardly a misnomer. There are countless alternatives to oil and nuclear power, lol. Shall we name them: solar, wind, tide, wave, geothermal, earth, or maybe use the over unity of magentic poles, and iron magnet core that earth rotates on, ooops.....yeah. Well should study up on the electric universe and plasma and comet anomalies and the moon and venus, and they're inventing strange rotations that arent observed, but no poles. LOL. Telsa's had an antenna up, he drove fast,
@Mysti99 There is no problem since they've had the solutions for so many decades people would be furious to know they've been kept as money cows and slaves for nearly a century, technically more.
this is bullshit! why is t so hard to find any info on EV's???? i want one to drive to work! the oil tycoons wouldn't like it if everyone drove ev's cos they'd be losing coin. somebody needs to come up with a better battery technology. even though they probably did 50 years ago but some rich asshole oil baron bought the patent and burnt it or whatever. im over it
This is Bias, electricity can be derived from other sources, solar panels, Wind mills, Hydro power. The only way your getting energy out of gasoline is burning it.
I'm not certified, but I can truly say that I am far better than any mechanic in my area...I I don't have any problems with electric cars, but I would never drive one, because that would mean giving up the passion of working on my car...
Great little car. 30 miles on a charge isn't great but I'm sure that depends on how conservatively you drive too. I would guess if you added more batteries you could go farther, but then your at a point where the amount of weight of the batteries just doesn't make it worth the money for more batteries.
great job man,i started to making an ev but dont know much just wanna ask you about electric motors,what kind of motors are u using and where i can find something like that.i am from serbia so cant bye anything from america keep that on mind when u recomendenig something to me. regards to u man and keep a good work
Niiiice. Sweet video dude but I have a question. I'm planing to convert my ford escape to full electric but there's no EV conversion community in NYC, what do you recommend?? weights about 4000 LBS with engine. don't know how much it weight without it. Cant afford lithium for now. If you were me what would you do?? im tired of gas
So what if smokestacks pollute too? It's much easier to clean up emissions at a single stationary point source than hundreds of thousands of mobile fuel-burners.
This guy is a tremendous ambassador for electric cars. He is technically competent, entertaining, and IMO extremely persuasive. If there were an electric car company that needed a marketing director/consultant, he would be an awesome pick. Even as a paid spokesperson.
@Itsmeeman1 No. if you were speaking to the folks in the film, I am not in touch with any of them. I made the documentary quite a while ago and have no communication with anyone in the film and wished that they would get involved and answer the questions that you and other interested parties raise area and unfortunately I cannot help.
@m1aws I've just tried to go to your channel on YT but it reads that it's not available. Just wanted to know what other info and videos you have on the whole 'electric' vehicle thing.
@Itsmeeman1 Thank you for your comment. I just checked by searching my channel, allinaday, and found it with no problem. I do not understand why you did not. Best regards to you,
Some highly uninformed "clever guys in suits" on this video. i.e.. Filling up IS quicker at home and no messing around with money, queue's or the weather.
Emission's are lower! Don't they know it takes 5.5KWH of Electricity to make one US gallon? Just give us the electricity!
No good batteries? One fella drove his Tesla over 330miles. (53KWH pack)
Note, most detractors info comes mainly from Journalists who have no engineering expertise at all!
@m1aws There's always the critic who brings up the question, "What about the smokestack they must have somewhere to make the electricity?" Yeah, well there was a smokestack on the ship hauling that crude 3,000 miles and another smokestack on the truck bringing that gas to the station.
@fenderstratguy elc is great for short drives and not hualing anything but to go cross country with 80,000lbs of the food even you eat elc can't do it YET. or even the smaller hot shot drivers that use diesel pickups cross country. don't forget all the people who need there vehicle to run all day long to deliver stuff or to farm ect. elc has a long ways to go before it could ever replace gas/diesel engines if elc ever could. will see someday.
@blownutsmyass..........I'm not sure where I ever said electric was the ideal solution for every specific application. Diesel wasn't the ideal fuel for driving on the moon.
@fenderstratguy don't take my comment as arguing with you. i was simply adding info. there is a good place for both. big citys where people don't drive far elc is great. for the long hual elc can't do the job. i was watching these videos to see how far elc cars have come to see if i could use one for 100-200 mile drive yet. im sure some day they will get there.
@m1aws furthermore, it is a far simpler engineering problem to treat the emissions at one power plant than it is to have hundreds or thousands of point sources (IC engines) each of which must be equipped with scrubbers (catalytic converters, etc)
He didn't show he to connect the drive shafts! If he'd done that I'd probably do it to mine today! I'm THAT sick of the rise in petrol! $10 a gallon here! Thieving bastards!
Hahaha. You swear like a fellow Englishman. Too right about fuel prices!
He uses a standard adapter plate between the motor and the gearbox. That's the least of the problems. Electrical/battery issues are avoided here. Best to read up. A lot! John Wayland is very impressive. Google "Cedric Lynch" and look for video's. I want one!
Conversion is expensive so you need a worthwhile car or keep everything modular for when you want to throw the shell away and fit into another.
the whole 'dirty grid' argument is phony!! sure, the grid is dirty, but no one i know drive a GRID! THEY ALL DRIVE CARS!! if electric CARS polluted, it could be measured. we already know other ways of creating electricity, there's just no political will to actually do it on a large scale.
@djsufferthing You can't possibly dam up enough rivers to match the electrical needs of this country. The environmetal impacts to the ecosystem alone would be just as bad as fossil fuel emmisions. Look at all the dams that are now being removed because of the negative impact they have on river life.
hi where do i buy this engine? please let me know thankyou great job man,if possible could you call me at 18573128090 i would ask some question about it thanks
Why do we act as if Carbon is a bad thing, sure we can't breath it, but the Plant life wouldn't grow without it, and our bodies wouldn't be built without it as most things on Earth. Carbon a basic building block here on earth. We need it to live, and without it would kill off this world. Do we need resource to get is where we need to go sure, One man could say the Horse is probably the greenest of energy, but we ditched that natural vehicle long ago in exchange for more Carbon. Just don't get it
At 4:00, they mention that the electricity comes from a dirty source en so the electric car still polutes. So what? They seem to forget that for a gaz car the power plant is still working 24-7 regardless, that you need to drill for oil, ship it to a refinery, ship it to every gaz station and then you need to drive to a gaz station to re-fuel...also there are eco friendly ways of producing electricity...so this argument of electric cars polluting is nothing compared to what a gaz car does.
@UncleJtotheS Exactly. 80% of Americas cars could be powered at night with existing power planets causing zero increased pollution and reducing the pollution of a combustion car. A net result of cleaning the air in cities.
With the electric car you have the OPTION, to create your own power and be totally of the grid.
I find it funny how they mention that the electric car doesn't compete very well vs a intercombustion engine car. It's been more that a 100 years that people have been working on internal combustion engines for vehicles...I'm pretty sure given that time the electric car would be better...also they mention that you can go anyware anytime with a gaz car, however that's only a question of infrastructure. If we didn't have gaz stations on every corner....the gaz car wouldn't go very far would it?
they will do what they are doing now...buying the few land that has lithium deposits and if the electric goes major theyre selling the lithium to your batteries, also buying shares in electric companys
@SoldierK4 and not a bad idea either, but the alternator would have to suit the charge demand of the battery bank (if it isn't a 12V system). no big deal, just a few extra mods
This Electric Car builder reminds me of Jay Leno. Since his cars are fast he might even get a request from Leno, he's into that sort of thing it seems.
If a car EV car owner put up a solar panel and / or a wind generator, he could charge this car for free. So the option is in the consumers hand to be free from the grid. Second during the night enough power is WASTED because no one uses it to power 80% of the cars in America.
@Zooni2 solar panels wouldnt come close to charging the batteries enough, you would need so much surface area it would look ridiculous not to mention if would have to be sunny out all the time. It would be better to have them on your garage charging another set of batteries, but it's still a pretty small amount. I am guessing batteries aren't going to increase in 500 percent efficiency any time soon, so I would say filling stations would have to be put in place, where solar is used.
@ryanathan2 No consumer has the option of drilling for oil and then processing it for their car. A consumer can create electric energy. It takes 12 to 15 kilowatt-hours to charge a car that is empty. The avergae comute distance is 16 miles and the ford focu has a range of 75 miles. Average comute = 21% of charge.
2.9 Kilowat hours. very easy to acheive with solar.
@ryanathan2 I am not talking about putting wind generators or solar panels on a car. yes putting them on your house / garage and charging a battery or selling the power to the electric company during the day and buying it back during the night when rates are cheaper. You can use the electric grid as your battery effectively.
@rplende you forgot to add that the motor that produce totally free energy build from magnets is invented (is just not on market yet ) , what if to put them together ...that will be cool
This is absolutely fantastic... kudos.. well done!

The brake system of a petrol car is connected to the engine. THe air is sucked out of the brakes for it to work. But How did you overcome this when you removed the gas engine. What braking system are you using?

I'm inspired of converting my dad's old mini minor car into an electric as the engine is clogged, gear box is rusted out, and there
are so much problems that for my budget, there are two options: A- scrap the car, B- turn it into an EV. I hope I'll manage to convert it into an EV! :D

Lithium batteries are good for seven to ten years and even though they cost way more than lead acid they last so much longer that their cost per mile is under ten cents. That is actually pretty cheap compared to an established gas car cost of over 50 cents per mile. Lithium batteries are simply very thin sheets of copper and aluminum with a super thin molecular coating of lithium...so that means they are 100% recyclable...much better than lead acid, which wouldn't last one call in a cell phone.

They fail to mention the car requires regular replacment of the worn out batteries. the optima deep cycles he uses cost about $289 ea. Put ten of those in the car just for grocery getting range and you have $2890 dollars worth of batteries that have a life span of maybe five years. This also represents a much larger requirement for lead mining a toxic metal.

Here's the really cool truth...women will LOVE electric cars!!! Wait until they find out how good they are! Smoother quiet riding (for a sleeping baby), easier driving, almost zero maintenance, never stopping at a stinky, smelly service station, the comfort of leaving home everyday with a full tank of fuel, the convenience of recharging at home, the satisfaction of being a good "Mom" to the earth by less pollution, the bragging rights and envy of friends & contemporaries = EV's are unstoppable!

Now that we have advanced capability lithium batteries; with even better lithium sulfur & lithium nanotube technologies coming, EV's are unstoppable! And absolutely necessary!! Fossil fuel is being burned away at 18 million barrels a day in the US and the whole world wants cars. We're going to reach & then exceed 100 million barrels a day consumption!! Fossil fuel cannot sustain that. And we cannot grow that much anything!!! Wake the freak up!!! Electric Cars CAN & WILL be recharged by the SUN!!

The whole argument about cross country driving is a false argument to begin with. How often do you go on a cross country trip? When you do, how many miles do you drive in one day before you stop and eat. pee and sleep? Have you ever driven cross country non stop (like a trucker on pep pills.)?? Who does that? NOBODY!!! These are arguments "DESIGNED" by clever people to intentionally discourage people from wanting Electric cars, so the Oil Companies can keep you stuck on their $3.39/gallon gas!

Yes, coal fired power plants do make some pollution, but it is miniscule compared to thousands of gas cars. And the cars are in the city, whereas most power plants are located away from downtown. Furthermore the power plants are so big to handle peak demand they cannot be throttled back. So they waste thousands of kilowatts overnight. By recharging overnight at off peak rates about 75% of all cars in America if they were EV's, could be recharged while you sleep, with zero additional pollution.

Great little car. 30 miles on a charge isn't great but I'm sure that depends on how conservatively you drive too. I would guess if you added more batteries you could go farther, but then your at a point where the amount of weight of the batteries just doesn't make it worth the money for more batteries.
Great video.

At 4:00, they mention that the electricity comes from a dirty source en so the electric car still polutes. So what? They seem to forget that for a gaz car the power plant is still working 24-7 regardless, that you need to drill for oil, ship it to a refinery, ship it to every gaz station and then you need to drive to a gaz station to re-fuel...also there are eco friendly ways of producing electricity...so this argument of electric cars polluting is nothing compared to what a gaz car does.

If a car EV car owner put up a solar panel and / or a wind generator, he could charge this car for free. So the option is in the consumers hand to be free from the grid. Second during the night enough power is WASTED because no one uses it to power 80% of the cars in America.
Zooni2 10 months ago
@Zooni2 solar panels wouldnt come close to charging the batteries enough, you would need so much surface area it would look ridiculous not to mention if would have to be sunny out all the time. It would be better to have them on your garage charging another set of batteries, but it's still a pretty small amount. I am guessing batteries aren't going to increase in 500 percent efficiency any time soon, so I would say filling stations would have to be put in place, where solar is used.
ryanathan2 10 months ago
@ryanathan2 No consumer has the option of drilling for oil and then processing it for their car. A consumer can create electric energy. It takes 12 to 15 kilowatt-hours to charge a car that is empty. The avergae comute distance is 16 miles and the ford focu has a range of 75 miles. Average comute = 21% of charge.
2.9 Kilowat hours. very easy to acheive with solar.
Zooni2 10 months ago
@ryanathan2 I am not talking about putting wind generators or solar panels on a car. yes putting them on your house / garage and charging a battery or selling the power to the electric company during the day and buying it back during the night when rates are cheaper.
