4 Remote Controlled Vehicles - Tips To Identify The Best One

There is so much excess capacity electricity generated at night by the power companies that we could plug in a million electric cars at night and not bother the grid one little bit.

To charge your car faster, you need to buy and install a Level 2 charger in your garage or carport. A Level 2 charger works more than twice as fast as a Level 1 charger. With a Level 2 charger, you can easily take your electric vehicle from empty to full overnight. A homeowner who installs a Level 2 electric charger can receive a 2011 tax credit of 30% of the cost of electric vehicles the purchase and installation, with a cap of ,000. This means that you can reduce your 2011 tax bill by 30% of what you spent on purchase and installation of a Level 2 charger, up to a ,000 tax cut.

In some cars like the Chevy Volt the ICE will only be used to charge the battery like a generator when it gets drained but in others the ICE will move the wheels when the battery runs down.

The film talks about why we have entered an age where we are almost completely dependent on foreign oil. Instead of buying cars that are energy efficient, people are more likely to buy huge SUV's that suck down more gas than necessary. Obviously, if you walk around and look at the cars driving, you can see this in action. People are driving huge cars; why? Commercials will say that they are safe and insurance companies lower your premiums. If you are in the business world, you know that large cars sell for higher prices even if there is only a little more production cost. Companies have to stay competitive in the market. GM, in recent years, has had problems and need to make more money; thus, they need to sell the high marked items, not Electric Vehicles.

Keep the car's transmission as we could use it to connect power from the electric motor to the car's wheels. Make an "adapter plate" out of a chunk of plate aluminum which has holes in it to line up with both the transmission and the end of the motor. It is best to work with a machinist with this part as they will know more about cars than you do so they can cut the right shape and size to fit your car. The center of the motor drive shaft and the center of the transmission driven shaft need perfect line up. Design a coupler that will mechanically connect both drive shafts before bolting the motor and transmission together with the adapter plate.

The pressure to be fully charged when leaving home will ease as chargers are increasingly installed in public places in the U.S. In my hometown, Los Angeles, Level 2 Chargers are already available in train stations, the main airport (LAX), the L.A. Convention Center, and other public places. One can easily find the network of existing public chargers on-line. In addition, malls will begin installing Level 2 or Level 3 Chargers as an inducement for shoppers and workplaces as an employment benefit.

Level 2 Charging. While you may be able to make Level 1 charging work for you, you also have the option of faster charging by installing a special Level 2 Charger in your garage or carport. A Level 2 charger takes a Chevy Volt battery from completely empty to completely full in four hours; eight hours for the Nissan Leaf. So, even if you totally drain your battery, with a Level 2 Charger, you'll be able to fill it by morning.

If you be able to choose the right automobile and the parts for its conversion, that can easily reduce your costs. It is expected that the gas price goes up to for the next year. So it is the time to stop thinking. Just build your vehicle as an electric car and save some extra money.
