This week’s show is again over two and a half hours. On the what to leave in, and what to leave out area I’m developing a really bad habit of leaving it all in. But I like it. What do a Miata in New Zealand and a BMW in Massachusetts and a Cabin Cruiser in […]
We may have mentioned that the road to EV nirvana worldwide might be a tad longer than the press and His Eminence Herr Musk might lead you to believe. Stay with EVTV. We will get you there. We’ve seen this all before on the Internet rodeo in a past life. And trust me, it’s all

Today the 4th of July falls on our normal shoot day. We’re having a party for the celebration of Independance Day. This is the day we celebrate not being British which then allows us a sense of humor, which we weren’t permitted previously. And so we are no longer dour and puckish. God Save the
In Celebration of our Independance from the King. God Save the King. Read More »
It’s been a strange week. Friday is here and we film our video this afternoon. This one includes a major falling on our sword issue over the recently announced project to reverse engineer the Tesla Model S. We’re a bit giddy here at EVTV these days and it mostly revolves around the Generalized Electric Vehicle

I know I need to do the blog part more frequently. But we have a lot going on at EVTV and I’m struggling with time management issues. If you have three dozen pressing things to do, the tendency is to go shell shocked and avoid them all. That’s where I am these days. I’ve spent

Is it me? Or has the pace of all this quickened markedly in the past few months. Both in the number of new trinket and toy developments, but also some sort of sea change among the populace. We’ve probably had a half dozen people in the shop here this week. That’s not unusual actually, but

I have to tell you, I just never do get over it. This week we attempt to illustrate the pleasure of driving the VW THING. Like all our builds, we fail. We simply fail to convey the sense of magnetic electric drive. The simplicity. The quiet. And the sense of power. The sense of freedom.

Lithium Batteries are inherently humbling. The energy storage component of our electric vehicles is THE central issue to successful builds, so it comes as no surprise that we get a lot of questions about batteries. And every time I try to answer one, I think to myself “I hope that is more or less correct.”
