Beyond reading wiki I know SFA about solid state batteries, but the electrolyte can be a few different types of material including glass.
The EV Apocalypse
Re: The EV Apocalypse
I just saw a picture of the electric BMW i4 concept on twitter. I won’t repost it as it’s not worth the time. EVs with massive grills
How about not having a sig at all?
Re: The EV Apocalypse
The three pin socket wheels - although incorrectly spaced out - are indeed a nice little wry touch!
Oui, je suis un motard.
Re: The EV Apocalypse
It’s a warning to future mini owners. “We have no charging network and you will forever be searching for a 3 pin socket”

Re: The EV Apocalypse
Thought this was worthy adding here. An aspect of EV future could actually be restoring classic vehicles with modern drive trains.

This crossed my mind for my in laws’ Morris Minors, which they will never get rid of.

One of the Amurcan tunerz has put, or is putting a tesla motor into the rear subframe of a BMW e30.
Cheers, Harry
Re: The EV Apocalypse
My silly mate who made the TDi Elise told me he has a broken EP3 that he's tempted to electrify, he already has a 200hp motor so it'd make for an interesting comparison to mine.
I like the idea of a Citreon Safari with EV drivetrain, it'd suit the nature of the car IMO.

Re: The EV Apocalypse
Oooh, now that is a proper idea! DS or CX? I'd imagine you could get a monster of a pack in a CX and still have enough room to camp out in it during the imminent apocalypse
Re: The EV Apocalypse
CX, in white or that light blue. Loads of space for batteries, and still room for all kinds of nonsense.Swervin_Mervin wrote: ↑Thu Mar 12, 2020 7:50 pmOooh, now that is a proper idea! DS or CX?

Re: The EV Apocalypse
I think without an engine as background noise then an electric classic will be a rattle squeaky torture chamber!!
Dave!

Re: The EV Apocalypse
This. There was a well done EV Range Rover, really old classic one. The onboard video of it was crap, the noise from the gearbox, rattles and wind made it truly terrible.

Re: The EV Apocalypse
You can hear that in the Voltswagen in the vid above yeah, and you are much aware of general noises in an EV for sure. I'd rather a quiet electric motor than the godawful flat four it should have though..

Re: The EV Apocalypse
Lovely.
I follow on Twitter a local-ish Guy called Chris (@RegionalBiasFM) who has a lovely looking example in white, but with bumpers paint matched by the previous owner - which sharpens the look to me.
I keep thinking about suggesting we meet up to take some pics - partly cos I think the cars would work well together, and partly cos I want a proper look.

Re: The EV Apocalypse
I can't explain what I like about them, but they are wonderful looking things aren't they.
