Greeting First: Great forum. I have learned quite a bit just by reading the posts. Second: I am in the preliminary stages of converting a vehicle from ICE to...

Sounds like a lot of added weight. Since you're starting off with a heavy enough chassis, you might not want to think about adding more weight to it. Added...
Howdy, I'm not sure exactly how they do it, but I have seen several EV pickup trucks with a tilt-bed. I don't know if they used the dump truck kit you are...
Could anyone Please guide us into the least expensive supplier for the ENTIRE kit to equip the project we are about to embark on. We have decided to go with...
Hi DJ, I strongly doubt that you will find a "complete kit" with Lithium batteries. Lithium batteries are smaller and lighter than lead for the same power, but...
Hi, I'm one of the members Jerry is talking about who has an S-10 with a tilt bed. I had the tilt bed installed by a local body shop, Evelyn Auto Body, in...
... Lithium batteries are far superior to Lead Acid in terms of energy density and gravimetric density. That means you get much more range per battery pack...
Again, never say never.   I'm just trying to keep the EAA and SAE open to the fact that EVs can solve more problems than energy use and pollution. They...
EAASV'ers,  Here is a link to an awesome website that has photographs of more than 1.66 thousand vehicles that have been converted to electric...  ...

... An analysis of the energy efficiency of compressed air cars may very well show that electric vehicles are more efficient overall. Jeff C. -- Jeff Chan ...
... Yes, but the equation changes when you add in the depreciation cost of batteries. We EV'rs are counting on the battery cost to drop, Moore's Law style, in...
$2.00 worth of free air, you'd think that would get you as far as you wanted to go. No luck though, it takes more energy to compress the air than it does to...
... My understanding is that the reason no one "in the know" is talking about an air-powered car is that: 1) It's completely impractical 2) It's a confidence...

When I first saw the title of this thread I promptly (and wrongly) assumed that the air car worked of the principle of thrust generated in the same manor as a...
