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.

I pondered this question for several minutes. They are cool. They are fun. But the question frankly annoyed me a bit and I couldn’t quite figure out why.

This week’s show is finally a bit shorter as we get caught up. Speedster Nippon went on a truck. This is one of the best builds we’ve ever done, and quite a pain in the ass to perform. It points up why we DON’T want to be automobile manufacturers, even on a small scale. The

This week has been a LOT of fun.  New announcements and activity.  Lots of news.  Stuff. So most of the electric car entries, as well as battery companies, have encountered ignomious failure, Tesla has on the other hand, ermerged in a very programmed fashion ot ignomious success.  We had predicted a short squeeze on the

The concept of a an adoption curve is credited to Everett Rogers in his 1962 paper on the Diffusion of Innovations. It described the adoption curve and introduced the concept of tinkerers and innovators, early adopters, early consumers, etc. Rogers had a PhD in Sociology but was originally an Agriculture student at the University of

I received an e-mail this week from my favorite adolescent delusional mental patient expressing his concern about the future of the 100,000 man army we are raising for the express intent of completely changing the world’s concept of personal transportation.
