Woohoo! I made it! I just got through my inspection with Connecticut Motor
Vehicle and PASSED! Ran right up to the office and got my plate. Though I have a lot more to do, my car is now legal. Besides having all the basics in order, lights; suspension, wipers, etc, they really just want to make sure the car is safe and sturdy. From the EV perspective they looked to see that the wiring neat and tidy, no leakage from pack to body, and the weight is in order. Thanks for all your help over the years it took me to get here. Dave Cover, legally driving an EV in CT. PS Vanity plate comes next, but I'm not talking 'til I have it. Don't want to jinx it. _______________________________________________ For subscription options, see http://lists.sjsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/ev |

Congratulations Dave!
I have neglected my list obligations lately so that I have not announced formally that my Saturn station wagon is also finally street legal. Got to show it off at The NEEAA last Saturday. Drove 50 miles round trip, topped it off with my own charger at Bob's for a couple of hours. The only problem was that I discovered that my DC/DC converter is not working at all: limped into bob's driveway with the speedo dancing around and coasted up to the charging station with a dead 12 volt. I have emailed Electro Automotive for a replacement converter (Curtis) but without any response for a week now. We'll see what happens.

Ok spring has finally returned to the great frozen north and I can work in my garage again :)
Getting to the point where I need to buy my motor before I can make much more progress. Looking for a motor in the 9" 120~144V size range (for a Fiero) Know of the following brands: NetGain Advanced DC Kostov Any other common brands I missed? Also need recommendations on places to look for them (new or used). Thanks, Peter _________________________________________________________________ E-mail for the greater good.

Hello Peter,
Contact our supreme DC motor guy, Jim Husted at hi_torque_electric@... If he does not have it, he can build it.

Congratulations.
I just got back from the Mass registry of motor vehicles with a plate and registration. Next step is the safety inspection. Wish me luck.

I don't even have a garage, and it was only this weekend that my EV glider got unfrozen from the 12" glacier that had frozen the frame to the ground (note to self, next winter, don't park any vehicles where water will flow under them when the sun comes out). I'm pulling the motor and tranny out (of the back of the truck where they've been stored) tomorrow to take them down to a machine shop to get put together. > > Getting to the point where I need to buy my motor before I can make much > more progress. > Looking for a motor in the 9" 120~144V size range (for a Fiero) Doesn't GE also make series DC motors... if you are looking for older used ones you might come upon some of them. > > > Know of the following brands: > NetGain > Advanced DC > Kostov > > Any other common brands I missed? > > Also need recommendations on places to look for them (new or used). There was just recently a post on where to buy EV parts, which listed just about every retailer than I knew of. Ebay is a good place.... if you know exactly what you are looking for, and how to tell what it is even when the seller doesn't necessarily know. > > > Thanks, > Peter > > _________________________________________________________________ > E-mail for the greater good.

Good luck with the safety inspection. If it's just lights, wipers and the
like you should be all set. So long as you aren't too overweight. I lived in Mass for a few years. IIRC they don't weigh you or run you across one of those brake testing machines. Let us know how it turns out.
