Nyobolt EV
https://callumdesigns.com/nyobolt
Just saw this today. Interesting EV that once again uses the Elise as a design. 6-minute charge on a small 155 mile range battery. |

I still won't get an EV until I absolutely have to. So when the GRC gives up, or gas just becomes too expensive (would have to be more than buying an EV).

-Give me an interesting EV. -Im not going to live my life AROUND the EV, when the car is supposed to be a tool FOR me. -Just like smartphones theres going to be a point when the tech kind of plateaus where you dont really get "better" with each new release. That's the time to jump in so if you got an older EV its not old enough to be completely outdated but neither will it be completely outdated against newer tech. -When i buy a car, its staying with me until i need to change it. That's either going to mean the car either dies or the car doesnt work for my needs anymore. Not changing out a car just because. Last edited by Sasquachulator; 07-24-2023 at 09:38 AM. |

So what is the point of this EV? If it's anything like a real Elise, then it has little purpose other than track, or weekend drivers car. Not a good errands car. Not a good DD. Not a good family car. Etc...

I'm guessing it's basically to test out the battery and charging tech? With such a low range, I wouldn't even try tracking it.

Sadly for most people the daily commute is not fun and fun cars are reserved to weekends with longer distances. I'm 90 miles away from good driving roads and the closest track is 130 miles away. This makes it harder to fit an EV fun car until charging times become equivalent to refueling times. |

I haven't looked into it for years, but I believe formula E traded cars half way through their 50 minute race. Each team had 2 cars.

They used to do that. They run one car the whole race now.
