Cheers, Tim ----- Forwarded Message ---- From: Electro Automotive To: tim_kutscha at yahoo.com Sent: Tue, November 3, 2009 5:46:51 PM Subject: EV Battery Tech Seminar Continuing its 18 year history of presenting educational seminars and workshops on electric vehicles, Electro Automotive is proud to present the EV Battery Tech Seminar. This seminar is for people who already have the basic level of information on EV conversions and are looking for more technical detail on batteries. This is information based on firsthand research and experience - not speculation or hype - from knowlegdeable experts with many years in their fields. The seminar will consist of three 2-hour sessions, with breaks between and plenty of opportunities to ask questions. The presenters represent the highest caliber of firsthand knowledge about batteries in actual service in electric vehicles. The opening segment will focus on lead acid batteries. Jim Ramos of American Battery will speak. Mr. Ramos has been in the lead acid battery business for 36 years, and has been involved with electric conversions for 30 years. For twenty years, he was a manufacturer of lead acid batteries under his own label, researching the internal architecture of the batteries to modify their structure and optimize them for specific applications. He has also designed and built battery manufacturing equipment. His client list has included major companies such as FedEx and Waste Management. He currently supplies batteries all over the United States, and has supplied more batteries for EV conversions than any other battery supplier. The second segment will focus on lithium batteries. Dr. Andrew Burke of the Institute of Transportation Studies at UC Davis will speak. Since 1974, Dr. Burke?s research has involved many aspects of electric and hybrid vehicle design, analysis, and testing. He was a key contributor on the US Department of Energy Hybrid Test Vehicles (HTV) project while working at the General Electric Research and Development Center. He continued his work on electric vehicle technology, while Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Union College and later as a research manager with the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory (INEL). Dr. Burke joined the research faculty of the ITS-Davis in 1994. He directs the EV Power Systems Laboratory and performs research and teaches graduate courses on advanced electric driveline technologies, specializing in batteries, ultracapacitors, fuel cells and hybrid vehicle design. Dr. Burke has authored over 80 publications on electric and hybrid vehicle technology and applications of batteries and ultracapacitors for electric vehicles. The final segment will focus on battery containment in the vehicle. Mike Brown of Electro Automotive will speak. Mr. Brown has been in the electric vehicle components supply businss for thirty years. Previous to that, he studied engineering at the University of Wyoming, and was a dealership trained auto technician who later operated his own auto repair shop from 1975 to 1993. At that time, he closed the gas car shop to focus on EVs full time. He has built both gas and electric race cars, personally built dozens of conversions, and consulted on hundreds more. He designed and developed the Voltsrabbit and Voltsporsche custom bolt-in conversion kits, which are still the most complete kits available anywhere. He authored the book Convert It, now in its third edition, which is the definitive how-to conversion manual, used as a text in numerous high schools and universities and supplied by the Dept. of Energy to schools participating in the Mid-Atlantic Electic Vehicle Challenge. Space is limited. Advance registration is required.

These are not the official minutes and they are peppered with my opinion and misconceptions. Enjoy. ================================= Agenda: ================================= Portland RAV4 EV Program Navistar Electric Truck to be built in Portland Nissan Leaf Tour Coming to Portland EV Road Map Portland Report Clackamas Community College Visit Report Fund Raising Team to be formed in January December Meeting Oregon SAE Presentation Coming Up Arcimoto Launch Report General Comments ================================= Chairman John Christian opened the meeting. ================================= Portland RAV4 EV Program ================================= Rick Durst presenting: Toyota is sponsoring an EV program in Portland. Toyota has loaned 4 RAV4 EVs to Portland State University. PSU will lend one of the RAV4 EVs to PGE and another to the Major's Office. PSU has installed 2 small paddle induction chargers for them. PGE will install 1 in the WTC parking garage. Later, as part of a larger global initiative, Toyota will make 150 Plug-in Priuses for the US, we should get at least 8 (maybe more) here in Portland. With the PHEV Prius conversion that PGE currently has they have found that mileage with a PHEV varies greatly with driving style (and if you plug it in or not). ================================= Navistar Electric Truck to be built in Portland ================================= Rick Durst presenting: Navistar (Link ) is launching an electric truck line from here in Portland. These are class 3+ delivery truck (Sprinter Van). Another cap in Portland EV cap. ================================= Nissan Leaf Tour Coming to Portland ================================= Rick Durst presenting: Nissan is taking the Leaf EV on tour (yep it is a rockstar). They are going to 22 cities in 11 states. They will be in Portland December 17th - 23rd. We have contacted them and they are willing to have a special OEVA meeting with us. They are not planning details for the Portland event yet. Stay tuned. More Leaf info: Nissan Leaf is deploying 5000 vehicles in the US. 1000 of them in Oregon. These will be part of an evaluation that monitors driving patterns. Pricing and model (lease / buy - car / battery) are not yet announced or final. Nissan is not yet taking orders. If you buy a Nissan Leaf, you will get a charging station installed in your garage as part of this program. If you need service upgrade, you must pay for that. If you cannot charge at home, you maybe able to have this charger install credit applied to someplace else (like your work). The EV Project (http://theevproject.com/) is the joint effort to deploy charging stations. They are first putting them in the 5 states that are getting the 5000 Nissan Leafs. ================================= EV Road Map Portland Report ================================= John Christian presenting: "The EV Road Map Oregon" was an invitation only ($99) meeting to discuss the logistics of installing charging station in Oregon. 2200 charging stations are planned for Oregon as part of "The EV Project" (see above). These will be split among homes, businesses and along I-5 and other major roadways. Many EV studies were presented. One of the lessons learned from a Japan study was that the presents of charging stations (even if they were not used) made people more comfortable driving an EV. Study presented showed that 60-75% of Oregon buyers said that they would prefer an EV or PHEV if it were the equivalent cost to a gas-only vehicle. More than 50% would pay a 10% premium for plug-in. E-Tek is managing the grant to install charging stations in The EV Project. The actual installers for Oregon have not yet been contracted. Mark Perry and Tracy (?) from Nissan presented info about the Leaf. The Leaf seats 5 full-sized adults. It is in the Camery/Maxima class. It is a new design for electric, not a re-purposed Ultima conversion. Charging stations can be installed outside of this program too. ================================= Clackamas Community College Visit Report ================================= John Christian presenting: The new alt energy class at CCC invited OEVA to present on EVs. Ray Blackburn brought his Yaris EV. The students were very impressed. ================================= Fund Raising ================================= Pat Connor presenting: Last year our fund raising for Awareness Day happened rather last minute. We were able to break even, but it would be nice to make some money on this that we can spend on other EVents. We will start a sub-group and come up with ideas. I mentioned the idea of a raffle and was informed that they are not allowed with our non-profit status. ================================= December Meeting ================================= We decided to have two meetings in December. One our December social (food) meeting on December 10th. We'll have another gathering for the Nissan Leaf, date to be determined between Dec 17 and 23rd. ================================= Oregon SAE Presentation ================================= OEVA member, Bryce Nash, made a car that is electric front wheel drive and gas rear wheel drive for about $1700 for the Grassroots Motorsports $2009 Challenge. Bryce will be presenting his Pontiac Fiero, how it was modified and how it performed in the events drag races. What: AWD Gas-Electric Hybrid Fiero for $2,009 Presented by Mr. Bryce Nash, Daimler Trucks NA. When: Friday, November 20th, 2009; 11:45am ? 1:00pm Where: Daimler Trucks Corporate Conference Center ? Willamette East, 4555 N. Channel Ave, Portland OR. map >> Off Hwy 217 & Greenburg Road ? Across from Washington Square Mall. Cost: $7 with current SAE membership, $8 non-members, $4 for all students RSVP: By Tuesday 11/17, to Jason Wilkening for food head count. Jason.Wilkening at Daimler.com or 503-745-9328. ================================= Arcimoto Launch Report ================================= Arcimoto of Eugene launched their 3 wheeled vehicle at Pioneer Courthouse Square - John attended. It was a good launch with press and Paul Scott as a keynote speaker. They started taking orders at that event and had several takers. Whoaa hoo. ================================= General Comments ================================= Motion to have a meeting in Eugene or Salem. Great idea. What about an Arcimoto factory tour? John wants to promote OEVA on "social media" sites. - OEVA is now on facebook (Link ) Regards, Pat With Great Power, Comes Great Current and High Voltage =D~ -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

As I mentioned to you we are setting aside a special area in Columbia Hall at the Oregon State Fairgrounds for the 2010 Mid Valley Home Show. Its called the "Green Living" section. To qualify vendors must offer "green" or sustainable products or services. We'd like to have something along the line of electric vehicles cars or related products & services that would support them. I'd appreciate getting any leads of firms that you think might be interested in participating. The show is January 15-17, 2010 at the Oregon State Fairgrounds. We'll be using both the Americraft & Columbia Hall venues. The "Green Living"section will be in Columbia Hall which is the larger of the two venues. Corner booths,10X10 normally sell for $600. We're offering them in the "Green Living" section for $500. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Also ODOT would like to participate by offering brochures or perhaps even a seminar, that can be arranged at no cost. On another subject ... next time the Ducks go on the road, lets hope they take both the offense and the defense.

My take is he was relying on pack voltage to indicate and empty pack which is a mistake. You need per cell low voltage detection. I have to agree with his analysis but think a better solution is start with very similar capacity cells and have a good low voltage monitoring system in place. What he does not say directly, is that you can murder the cells on charge if you charge to 3.65/4.2*#cells without shunt regulators you will have the same situation as the discharge one (he avoids it by a very conservative charge voltage). Good way to spend an hour if you are interested in lithium BMS/battery issues. link: http://web.me.com/mjrickard/ --phil From nisaacs at optechsw.com Mon Nov 16 10:16:54 2009 From: nisaacs at optechsw.com (Nathan Isaacs) Date: Mon, 16 Nov 2009 10:16:54 -0800 Subject: [Oeva-list] Charging EVs with OpConnect station Message-ID: <003c01ca66e8$fc1d60b0$f4582210$@com> Good day all, You may remember me, I'm Nathan Isaacs with Optimization Technologies.

The closest city on this list is around 50 miles the next two are about 75 to 120 miles. How many would be driving an EV any of these meetings? Without seeing the response I would guess most members would use ICE vehicles. I like the idea but not if causes us to use more oil. Maybe I am extreme but I tried to eliminate my use of ICE as much as possible. So I am not thrilled about the idea of having meetings that would put more ICE vehicles on the road.

I expect that around 1pm he will drive over to the automotive Technology building where he will charge up. If you come during that time, I think it will be ok to go ahead and drop in briefly. There will be classes going on in there though during that time. Also, the LCEVA is going to transition it's meetings to LCC beginning in December. The first meeting is going to be Tuesday the 8th and after that, the rest of the meeting will be on our usually First Tuesday of the month starting at 6:30 for Show and Tell. Have a great remainder of week. Wade Patterson (360) 425-6252 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

This is Linda Snipes here to remind you all that, all I have at this point is an ICE to drive and I'm trying to get onboard with an EV of my own. So, I'm driving my ICE to Portland to go to the only OEVA meeting place in the state to get an education and information with real people about something that is real important to me. I am spreading the word around here (Gold Beach) and getting people excited and interested in the wonderful possibilities of EV vehicles. I don't like driving my ICE anymore than I need to either, but I feel that it is a necessary evil to forward the movement. I have discovered that there are 2 EV owners right here in Gold Beach. I'll just bet that if people knew there was going to be a meeting take place in their own town (like Eugene) that more people locally, who have already changed their ICE vehicles over to EV's, would jump at the chance to drive to the temporary new meeting place to show and tell about their work. I would be interested in bringing a meeting or two to Eugene, in the interest of starting a chapter there. Thank You for your help! Yours Truly, Linda Snipes. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

My suggestion is that we, the oeva, help get meetings going in towns/cities where there is interest.? The idea is not for a lot of us to drive down there, but to help them get their own meeting going.? At first, it may help to take a vehicle or two down there, but even that may not be necessary, as there are some already there.? Also, there are several PHEV's that could go to Eugene using very little fuel.? If a few of us went, and carpooled in a PHEV, the fuel use would be minimal, and probably less than the amount used by the four or five people who came to our last meeting from Eugene (in more than one vehicle). I think we should try to help them, but that's up to the group.? At the same time, it seems to me that they don't need our permission to get their own meeting going. While we're on the subject, does anybody out there know what happened to the list of people interested in a Eugene meeting?

Without seeing the response I would guess?most members?would use ICE vehicles. I like the idea but not if causes us to use more oil.

I am all for it and will be glad to work on the logistics with you. Who is interested and can help me get this going (for any city)?

I hope in the US we have more prominent displays like this one from Renault in Paris, on the Champs ?lys?es. The showroom was packed (notice everyone trying to get in at the bottom right), and it wasn't a 'special' ev-ent. It was just another weekend. Granted, these are concept models, but they were pushing for 2012 for getting them EV's out there. Come to think of it, there weren't even any other vehicles in the showroom, it was just for display. Anyway, they were all pretty wild concepts, so it was fun to see. The seats on the Zoe were like bean bag chairs, but the Eluence could have been any lexus type. Pretty great to see such a display in such a prominent place, even if it wasn't all real yet. Cheers JRAB -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

If you read nothing else, the 10-page executive summary gives the highlights and summarizes the significant recommendations (some of which the Alt Fuels Infrastructure Group might want to consider). I personally don't agree with some of the positions articulated (like their propensity toward nuclear-generated electricity) but it is as comprehensive a report on the subject matter that I've seen.

This is Linda Snipes here to remind you all that, all I have at this point is an ICE to drive and I'm trying to get onboard with an EV of my own. So, I'm driving my ICE to Portland to go to the only OEVA meeting place in the state to get an education and information with real people about something that is real important to me. I am spreading the word around here (Gold Beach) and getting people excited and interested in the wonderful possibilities of EV vehicles. I don't like driving my ICE anymore than I need to either, but I feel that it is a necessary evil to forward the movement. I have discovered that there are 2 EV owners right here in Gold Beach. I'll just bet that if people knew there was going to be a meeting take place in their own town (like Eugene) that more people locally, who have already changed their ICE vehicles over to EV's, would jump at the chance to drive to the temporary new meeting place to show and tell about their work. I would be interested in bringing a meeting or two to Eugene, in the interest of starting a chapter there. Thank You for your help! Yours Truly, Linda Snipes. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

My suggestion is that we, the oeva, help get meetings going in towns/cities where there is interest.? The idea is not for a lot of us to drive down there, but to help them get their own meeting going.? At first, it may help to take a vehicle or two down there, but even that may not be necessary, as there are some already there.? Also, there are several PHEV's that could go to Eugene using very little fuel.? If a few of us went, and carpooled in a PHEV, the fuel use would be minimal, and probably less than the amount used by the four or five people who came to our last meeting from Eugene (in more than one vehicle). I think we should try to help them, but that's up to the group.? At the same time, it seems to me that they don't need our permission to get their own meeting going. While we're on the subject, does anybody out there know what happened to the list of people interested in a Eugene meeting?

There is a group in Corvallis that meets sporadically; when I went to the Lane County Home Show to see the Arcimoto, they offered to have a factory tour some evening.

In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <4B0AFFB9.5000603@whitecape.org> Victor Tikhonov and I have both used Powercheq modules some time ago. Mine were beta units, and I had 50 of them for two 26-12V battery strings in my old S10 pickup. I later put them in a 20 12V battery string in my Insight (which is now using LiFEPO4 A123 cells, so I can't use the 12V powercheqs very well). I still have a bunch of these older units. The newer units seem to be the same, but have integrated two ATC automotive fuses on the + and - leads (but not the middle lead). I have recommended them for the Zap, though the 2A limit seems a bit too small for the large AH batteries in the Zap. One could always put two in parallel. They work quite well--the move charges from the batteries as they increase in voltage. If you are stuck, you can rest for 1/2 an hour a go a bit further. Normally, if you have park somewhere without charging, it will continue to equalize so that you go farther before the weakest battery runs out. Caveats: For long strings (26 or 28 batteries), a slight bias to the + battery accumulates, and so the most positive battery is charged more than the most - one in a long string. This can unbalance your pack. However, it is not a problem for smaller packs such as the ZAP. The powercheq module has no way to slow down the charger, so if the batteries are really out of balance, they are not powerful enough to shuttle the excess of a full constant current phase amperage to prevent overcharging. However, if your batteries are reasonably balanced to begin with, they will keep them that way! I have also used Rudman regs, and I find that Powercheqs are better at keeping the battery below the maximum voltage (the regs wait until it goes up too high and then bring it back down), but the regs have many other advantages (especially if linked to a PFC charger to shut it off/slow it down). I'm also still waiting for a Hart balancer to try that approach. I would also like to make a parallel system using telephone DC-DC converters to do the equalization more efficiently than the powercheqs (direct from all to lowest vs bucket brigade). Again, I have some that I could part with if someone wants to add their own fuses to offer the protection. I have them connected to a 3-pin Molex to facilitate easy removal or replacement when working on the pack. I paid $40 each for them some time ago. Summary--the powercheq modules are a simple and effective solution. There is no excuse why Zap should not have *some* kind of battery management system, and the powercheqs are an example of how easy it is to do a decent job protecting the batteries against overcharge and imbalance.

They are all in need of restoration. I expect he would let one go for somewhere in the $500 range (about the going price for dead ones now days). I can find his name and address for you if you really want to do this. Most of the Elek-Trak corpses I have seen out there have significant battery corrosion problems and would need a lot of 'body work'. Also, they are old technology as far as the controller, etc. In addition, you will probably have well over $1000 in one to bring it back to good condition. That makes it a collector's item, and not something you would want to do your yard work with. What I would suggest is that you do something more like what John Wayland did with the 'Heavy Metal Garden Tractor'. http://www.evalbum.com/38 You can get a large donor garden tractor for cheap and redo it with a modern controller and motor (like an Altrex and a B&S Etek) for less money and have a lot more power (power is good). Also it would be your own custom product. I have a large Sears donor setting out back that I was going to do just that, but have never gotten around to it. It doesn't have a mowing deck, but you can have it if you want it, and are sure you will do the conversion.

Message-ID: <612925.54700.qm@web43132.mail.sp1.yahoo.com> hi there- I'm new to the list so forgive me if my etiquette is incorrect. I've been contemplating an EV conversion and would like to know if anyone has seen where a RAV4 EV drivetrain could be purchased. I'm interested in the one from the stock EV, including electronics, but not necessarily batteries. Any help would be most appreciated. thanks! shashi From richard.reinoehl at verizon.net Fri Nov 27 01:32:44 2009 From: richard.reinoehl at verizon.net (richard.reinoehl at verizon.net) Date: Fri, 27 Nov 2009 03:32:44 -0600 (CST) Subject: [Oeva-list] Party - music Message-ID: <8128694.24890.1259314364913.JavaMail.root@vms070.mailsrvcs.net> Ken, That would be sweet.

Not all of them have corrosion problems. In Wisconsin, I have a neighbor who has been using his Elec Trak for over thirty years to mow his acre and a half. I also have a friend who uses one on his farm almost daily. Mine has a plow blade and snow blower along with the mower deck.
