The government should be backing this company instead of throwing good money after bad at Holden and Ford !!

The powertrain of the vehicle, including the electric motor, single speed gearbox and differential all neatly packaged between the rear wheels

Installation of the powertrain into the first car, the modular assembly allows for easy mounting and removal

Viewed from underneath, the powertrain is mounted between the rear wheels. Replacing the fuel tank in the standard car is the power electronics module which includes the motor inverter and high voltage battery connector (cover plate removed)

Jens and Jason assembling the battery

Unique battery cell terminals were created in-house by EV Engineering, screwed connectors are laser welded to the cells allowing the battery modules to be disassembled if needed

The battery is fitted in place of the engine and transmission in the standard car with latches which allow the complete pack to be removed in a battery switch station and replaced by a freshly charged pack

The EV Engineering team of experienced electrical and mechanical engineers, CAD designers and technicians

So why dont you buy one or one of the many OTHER EVs around?

usual reason.

any proof that you own anything seeing how you don't believe the chinese got into orbit ??

and you were telling people to buy property for the purpose of making a quick buck !! Did you take your own advice ??

that kind of makes you a tyre kicker doesn't it ;)

you are gulllible enough to beleive anything you read that suits your particular bent at the time. you have no trouble at all believing everything the chinese say despite their record of making propaganda rather than truth.

The first chinese in space gave an interview after his flight which was printed in the chinese media. The problem was that it was printed BEFORE he retuend to earth. In other words, the entire 'interview' was a con. And you dont think that that questions the veractiy of the manned mission?

Hi Nail,
I think the Chinese will go to the Moon a lot easier
than back in 1969 with Apollo:

They have modern computer technology to help with design
& much more modern methods of producing specialised parts.
They also have plenty of the technology available off the shelf.

Good luck to the Chinese -
this will be their century.

In for the long haul? The electric car with a 500-mile range could finally match petrol power for distance
QBEAK concept vehicle uses bio-methanol to boost its battery life
Novel chassis contains six modules instead of one fixed battery
Innovative in-wheel electric motors can deliver top speed of 75mph
By DAILY MAIL REPORTER
PUBLISHED: 11:12 GMT, 14 July 2012 | UPDATED: 14:22 GMT, 14 July 2012

Green, they may be. But electric cars have struggled to overcome one of the main shortfalls that put buyers off - an inferior range to their petrol-powered rivals.
That may be about to change after a new electric car was unveiled that promises to go 500 miles (800km) before the battery needs recharging.
This would be far more than one of the current leaders in the field, the battery/ gasoline Chevrolet Volt, which can do around 375 miles (600km) on one charge-up.

Going the distance: The QBEAK electric car which promises to go 500 miles before the battery needs recharging

On the horizon: A battery/fuel cell demonstration model of the QBEAK is expected to arrive sometime in 2013
The Modular Energy Carrier concept (MECc), created by three Danish companies, uses bio-methanol to bolster its battery life.
Mogens Lokke, CEO of ECOmove, designers of the innovative 'QBEAK' car said bio-methanol was far better than diesel or gasoline because it produces substantially less carbon dioxide.

'In combination with the way we built the car, which is really lightweight (425 kilograms), we can get the 500-mile range,' he told CNN.
A bio-methanol/ water is converted by the fuel cell to create electricity, while waste heat from the process powers the car's heating and cooling system.

One right royal potential owner: Prince Charles has a look inside one of ECOmove's electric concept cars during a visit to Denmark earlier this year

Keen interest: Prince Charles and Camilla were both given the low-down on the new designs when they visited Vitus Bering Innovation Park in May
It also benefits from a innovative chassis design which has really pushed the technology forward.
'Instead of putting in a fixed battery, we have built in (six) modules that can be fitted inside the chassis. We can use battery power in the modules or any other kind of energy source,' Lokke said.
The award-winning QBEAK also uses patented in-wheel electric motors to deliver a top speed of 75mph (120kph).
The car caught the attention of royalty earlier this year when Prince Charles and Camilla paid a visit to Denmark.

Driver: A novel chassis design means it will contain six electric modules rather then a single fixed battery

Imminent: The QBEAK project hopes to launch a battery-powered model with a range of 186 miles this year
They both climbed into the QBEAK car when they arrived at Vitus Bering Innovation Park in May.
Mr Løkke, introduced the e-car and its many features, while the royal couple listened attentively.
Prince Charles promised to follow ECOmove in the future and said that he finds the QEAK-concept very interesting.
'This is indeed a fantastic opportunity for us to spread the message about ECOmove and our e-car QBEAK to a wider audience', he said.
According to Mads Friis Jensen from Serenergy, the designers of the fuel cell, bio-methanol is a cheap and abundant fuel with a short carbon chain.

Challenging petrol: The award-winning QBEAK also uses patented in-wheel electric motors to deliver a top speed of 75mph (120kph)

Green machine: The car's fuel cell converts a bio-ethanol/ water mix into electricity to power the battery
Compared to gasoline, bio-methanol production can cut CO2 emissions by more than 70 per cent
The U.S. Department for Energy (DOE) says direct methanol fuel cells are not hampered by the storage problems that affect other green fuels like hydrogen because as a liquid it's easier to transport and supply through current infrastructure.
The QBEAK project hopes to launch a battery-powered model with a range of 186 miles (300 kilometers) later this year.
The battery/fuel cell version is expected to arrive sometime in 2013.
