ANF Posted 14March, 2017 Report Share Posted 14March, 2017 Will be interesting to see how we are going to charge this new wave of electric vehicles.... especially in Germany with their reliance on coal power....!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skidmarks Posted 15March, 2017 Report Share Posted 15March, 2017 I'm still reeling at getting hosed by a Tesla 100D ... I was packing 650HP and still my appendage was a bean as against his cucumber...100% of torque from zero revs is a big mountain to climb. Lucky the Tesla looks like shit. Yep, that'll be me - the sore loser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sandy468 Posted 15March, 2017 Author Report Share Posted 15March, 2017 Don't worry the onslaught of fast elec vehicles will go hand in hand with autonomous driving - wystem won't let you or be able to floor the thing! Also Better fire up all those old coal stations and build a couple new ones in Tas and Sa by 2020 to cope with the demand! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cars And Coffee Byron Bay Posted 15March, 2017 Report Share Posted 15March, 2017 Byron bay council just installed a charging station at the library car park. Free to use if you have an electric car. And it is being fed by solar power.Apparently there are now enough chargers to drive from brisbane to Sydney. But heh, we are also about to launch a Solar powered train.

Cars And Coffee Byron Bay Posted 15March, 2017 Report Share Posted 15March, 2017 for how many cars though? Will you have to queue? its got two cables. So i guess two cars. Which is about the total population of Tesla in Byron bay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANF Posted 15March, 2017 Report Share Posted 15March, 2017 its got two cables. So i guess two cars. Which is about the total population of Tesla in Byron bay That was my point, if electric cars become popular, we do not have the facilities to re-charge them - either at home on a mass scale (power shortages) or out in public/ charging stations. Still a pipe dream here, which does not disappoint me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And with some luck it will let you drive!That is very true. They can get all of the weight on the floor. The Rimac Concept one is an unbelievable weapon. It will come. In the end it will come back to the driving experience, for the same reason Porsche brought back the Manual GT cars. It will be the same with having a combustion engine, a massive part of it is the exhaust note. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandy468 Posted 15March, 2017 Author Report Share Posted 15March, 2017 Ahem, has anyone checked the price of electricity of late? Has doubled in the last 10 years and projected to double again on average in Aust in the next 5 years (derived from Sandy statistics) when the little battery shitboxes become more common in 10 years the price of spark at the pump will be double the price of petrol! No wait, probably not, as the green aspect of govt will subsidise the spark and put more taxes on the juice ... answered my own concern! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are very large infrastructure obstacles to overcome!!Often overlooked by those pushing electric cars on us *right now*. Ideally it would be a slow adoption over the next 30 years or so, but it will all come at once and then the grid won't cope.Install your own solar farm now people!!
