Go to MYRIDE.COM for more car videos. With the worlds call for improved fuel efficiency, even luxury automakers have taken note, and it looks like Mercedes-Benz has no plans on being anywhere but at the top in this area as well. The F700 Hybrid concept promises V6 power from a 4 cylinder hybrid motor. With a fish inspired design, we will have to see this one on the street in full glory, to tell weather or not the looks warrant the prestigious Mercedes Star.

It isn’t really a complicated process to do an electric car conversion, but you will need to obtain certain specialized parts.
You will need: an electric motor, deep cycle batteries, a controller, a battery charger, an adaptor kit, and various other small parts.
But first, you are going to need a vehicle that you can do your electric car conversion with. Any vehicle can be used for this project, but some work better than others.
Heading the list are small cars and trucks, as they are light and strong. Your first consideration as shown in the detailed plans is to find the lightest vehicle that will still do the job of hauling you and whatever cargo you carry around.
Next, you will want a large DC motor that will produce power for your electric car. The larger the motor, the more power your electric car will have.
Don’t worry that it will be slow either. Many people have the wrong impression of electric cars; they accelerate as fast as any vehicle on the road and travel at least 50 mph.
What about batteries?
You will need to locate about 16-20 deep cycle batteries for your car as well. The plans outline sources of batteries, even free batteries that you can find with a little effort. The same source will probably have free DC motors too.
It’s just a matter of asking.
Why do you need this many batteries? In order to achieve a range of up to 100 miles on a single charge.
A controller is needed to fix the amount of current flowing from the batteries to the motor which determines how fast you go. The controller is connected to your old gas pedal linkage for smooth control of the vehicle.
In order to charge your batteries between trips, you will need an on-board battery charger. That way you can just plug it into any common AC circuit and get charged up again.
Doesn’t this sound like fun?
Isn’t it time you got started on your own conversion project?

They target to release one of them for customers in 2010 and have 100 for fleet usage in 2009.
I try to do updates since the specs are reported differently in different places.

I’m divided on this. I like the quiet noise of the hybrid car (which honestly, when coming down the road, I find it hard to believe that those who are blind or have other sight issues can’t hear it) and hate super loud engines.
I understand it’s to make it easier for people, but isn’t this also a matter of the driver needing to pay attention to the pedestrian too? What do you think?
Authorities are studying the matter but have not yet concluded that there is a problem that needs to be solved. If there is an issue, there may be a better way.
The concern it is the quiet car in reference to the blind, but what about the deaf or those who are deaf and blinid? We could put sounds on a hybrid car add unnecessary noise pollution when the car is not at an intersection most of the time. Have you heard a car alarm going off when it is not necessary? What are we going to do about malfunctioning sound devices in the middle of the night?
A signal that a quiet car is approaching an intersection could be useful for a small handicapped number of people. (Do the blind intentionally cross in the middle of streets?) But while they may provide a measure of safety to the blind this does nothing for those who are deaf.
Instead we could put a device on the vehicles that generates a radio signal. New cars already have hidden GPS locaters in them for those who might object on privacy grounds so this is only another device or it may be combined.1 The blind could have a receiver that generates a tone and the deaf could have a receiver that generates a visual signal. And / or for both we could use a vibration signal. This would also allow the hard of hearing to have the volume customized to their level of difficulty which is impossible in the vehicle. Crosswalks could also be equipped with tone generators and visual signals. This puts the signal where it is needed, expected and avoids the noise pollution at other times.
Novex Delivery Solutions is proud to introduce the first of many electric vehicles into our Clean Fleet. The 3 ton Smith Electric trucks are 100% fully plug in electric with a range of up to 160 km; perfect for an urban setting. |We are excited at the possibilities of providing emission free deliveries to the Lower Mainland.
