Making it a Solar Powered Saturn

Big plans are now set for changing the Saturn to a Solar Powered Car.
No panels on the hood, top and trunk.

5,000 EV miles & thoughts on: What speed is most efficient?

Why in 5000 EV Miles no real troubles? Still keeping records of grid input and EV miles output and have passed the 5,000 mile without buying any gasoline or oil.

Show and Tell at Car Show

Showed the Electric Saturn at it's first car show today.

Maintenance and Next Steps after 4000 EV miles

After driving a full electric powered vehicle for only 6 months and 4000 miles I am still acquiring knowledge.


But some things I have learned.

Oil Addiction and The Electric Grid

As I drive every day in this 100% electric vehicle I ponder questions bigger then me and my grasp of the world. It don't take much to overload my circuits.

Measuring Energy Efficency with a WattHour Meter & Box

Checking the efficiency of the SS Saturn EV is one of the goals I have been working on lately.
BTW ....... have over 2,000 EV miles on her.

Video of Acceleration with 4 Gauges and Timer

Here I video the Saturn accelerating from a stop, shifting through the gears observing the 4 gauges, from the left are the voltmeter, speedometer, tachometer and amp meter.

Wiring Diagram For Finished Tachometer

Here is the simple wiring diagram for the tach. Seems easy once it's all over. I guess like after the invention of the wheel or the screw.
