It took 8 months to make it, but here's the latest chapter in my Austin Allegro electric car conversion! Got the motor spinning, plus we actually drove the car on a household extension cord. Slowly. 😂 Enjoy! youtube.com/watch?v=Hoks-0…
I went for a ride-along in this electric police car. Share the video! youtu.be/VykBnrgDGnA Turned out to be pretty educational plus we pulled someone over for speeding. Combustion is no match for this battery powered beast. 🚔
Allo allo allo, what's all this then? Waiting to hear back from the police (the crime fighters, not the band) as there is a good chance the electric police car video will go live tonight. Cross your fingers.
The Chinese are doing something amazing things in the tech sphere.
NEWS: Chinese EV maker Xpeng showed off its modular flying vehicle called Land Aircraft Carrier. • Starting price: $280,000 • They've received 2,000 orders • Takes 5 minutes to put the aircraft back in the carrier • Aircraft cabin fits two people • Supports 5-6 short…
It's so nice not to buy Middle East war juice just to get to work. Running a car off my solar panels is easier, cleaner, healthier and cheaper. It's more logical in every single way.
The Polestar 3 is drinking electrons at 195 kW right now. That's a very respectable charging speed. Though it needs it with a freaking massive 111 kWh battery. 😳
Bought myself an identical Austin Allegro instrument cluster to play with. I need somehow translate the digital CAN bus signal from the Leaf motor into analogue spinnyness. Fortunately I have no idea what I'm doing so my expectations are set nice and low.
Man this Polestar 3 loves the kiwi corners. It's surprisingly responsive & agile for a vehicle of its size and weight. Might be wise to buy shares in Pirelli after I've finished with it. 😅
First of these Windrose E1400 big rigs should hit New Zealand in a few weeks. During a test run in China, one got 2253 km fully loaded (49 tonnes) with 2 rapid charges. The trucking industry is ripe for electrification but I suspect many DieselBros ain't gonna like it! 😂
Another evening, another achievement on the Allegro EV conversion. Cooling system is now complete and the DC-DC converter has been tapped in. Soon it'll be time to somehow buy a battery pack. That reminds me, I need to buy a lottery ticket...
Well that's interesting. Testing has just revealed that the Polestar 3 has a PSC of 71, which is a surprising 31.48% increase over the Polestar 4.
I'm really slack but I'm playing catch-up on Johnny's Austin Allegro build. If you haven't seen his sleeper build then check it out. It's gonna go like stink. I love the 'fake' exhaust pipette and heated windscreen. youtube.com/watch?v=viKWL7…
I can't be the only person who isn't really bothered either way by Vegemite or Marmite. They're both so similar in taste and they both do the same job.
Little bit more progress. The coolant system in the EV conversion is almost ready for testing. Just need some more hose clamps, coolant and a reservoir bottle and we can power it up. Curious to see what it sounds like. Going to try it tonight.
