The Phoenix did not go as far as I predicted due to some factors like driving too fast. They were not keeping count of the energy being consumed by the car and they paid the price by leaving around 300 miles on the table. A very valiant effort, it did beat and set a new world record of 994.5 miles on a single chrge.

skinny tyres, 15% further
1000 miles/64 = approximately 15.6 miles per module. Some sprinters can hold 5000 lbs. or 125 modules (40 lbs per module from the spec sheet). If you can get 10 miles per module, that is 1250 miles. 64 * 2.5 kwh per module is 160 kwh (not 200 kwh) which may be the reason it came up short. Most of the mileage losses of vans are due to wind resistance at high speeds. At 30 mile per hour or less it could beat it.
It would be really nice if you did a video covering in depth everything that goes into converting your own electric vehicle.
Yo Jehu. I saw that youll be on Vice/Motherboard. Cant wait!
Don't understand the point of this. Why not just tow a massive battery bank. Would someone really build a vehicle like this to drive around? There are so many batteries in it it is not even practical. Maybe I just don't get it
Why can't you use two batteries in a car . If car runs on a one battery the other one will charge . I so your video on this . You can use a inverter technology to switch the battery power from one battery to another battery . Such as inverter works when direct current passes it allows to flow . When current goes it switches to battery power to consistently flow of electricity in our homes . So when car starts it use battery power after that the generator which is attached to each wheels will produce power which is stored by one battery . Think about it and made inverter type hardware and make some software which allows to switch the battery power in the car . If it happens it will charge the electric car future . Think about it try on this project . Thank you
Man this is truely exciting times we are living in!
Had 2 of my lithium batteries explode on me Tuesday night… loud BOOM!
I'm confused on how they got a world record when the Proterra bus went further on an actual public road. Can someone explain what I'm missing?
Just read the description. I know exactly how you feel. There is only one of you. Peace!
Hey, you got the drone up. Nice.
30 mph is not realistic for today standards…. I bet you the Amish have a better record in their buggies?
What is the link for those recycled batteries Jehu?
30 mph is not a realistic speed to be testing but if the other one was done that way then no big deal
That's awesome, so now is evidence that battery can have long range. Now needs to make a vehicle carring passenger with long range. Example 500 to 600 miles per charge. (MPC)😎😎😎😎😎😎
The low increase from the road test just shows how well it performed in traffic. Did it run the same batteries?
Very cool
