Maybe do a "How an electric car works" site/page in the future. I imagine it would have quite a bit less content, though.

- thom801 11y agoExactly what I was thinking. Basically it is just this connected to a drive shaft. http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/magnetic/mothow.html http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/magnetic/mothow.h...
- bcohen5055 11y agoAlthough yes "connected to the drive shaft" in a sense is how it works but there can be some great discussions of 3 phase motor design, torque demand motor control systems, power electronics, regenerative breaking... The list goes on and on
- Kluny 11y agoI've heard stories of almost-new Priuses being sold for a pittance or given away because the battery went - batteries are expensive to replace, but they're not quite as scary as some people think. They can be replaced with generics for $2000 and installed at home, and an article about how to do that would be an awesome idea.
