Next generation electric car manufacturing is about to happen. When these guys visited us a year or so ago from Singapore, we were dubious about their promise to fund large scale EV production, let alone take on some of our IP ideas, given the number of promises we’ve had from others that went nowhere. Times have indeed changed and things are on the up. Check out the website… http://acceleroneds.com/
And with new batteries fast approaching that can handle a 50C charge – things are finally starting to come together in the EV world. If degradation at high C issues are resolved, then battery pack swap-over technology as I have stated in the past may become a thing of the… ahem, future past.
Pilot production of new vehicles will begin this year. Nathan’s got stuff on drive systems and power, I have stuff on control and energy-saving and JD has stuff for logic. At this stage it’s early days; but who knows where it will lead. If it goes no where, then it’s been a fun ride regardless.
Acceleron's big plans, but this time with the backing that's needed for a true world EV release.
And, in true British style reminiscent of The Mouse on the Moon developed in Britain astronaut wristwatch reference, Acceleron can also thank me for their name, logo and domain, solely designed and researched in this country with the most fastidious attention to detail and design by our team of expert engineering QC personnel and design critics, artisans and nancies. :).
As my life seems to get busier and busier developing (real) new stuff, I may be a bit lax in popping the occasional post to this site. Since my electric Starion is happy on the road and other things are happening now, there is probably less to go on about that you can’t find on another news site. If something curious does comes up, like a Better Place, ahem, Batter Plaice promise to lube your driveshaft with elapid oil, I’ll let you know.
Happy EV’ing
