Innovation Robotics of Greensboro has completed the first testing phase of the Electric Car
Project. The automobile, a 1980 Triumph TR7 sports car has been converted over the past
year to run on electric power. The original gasoline engine and transmission has been
removed and replaced with two electric motors. The TR7 is not a hybrid car like the Toyota
Prius. The car uses no gas and you simply plug it into a standard outlet to charge. The car
cost approximately 3 cents a mile to operate.
Interesting Gas report;
Greensboro, NC gas price $4.00 My Dodge pick-up has a 34 gallon tank, total cost to fill the
tank is $136. EV distance for $136 of electricity is 7,500 miles.
The Innovation robotics electric car could drive from San Francisco to Key West, FL and back
for the cost of ONE tank of gas.
What advantages do EVs offer?
EVs produce zero emissions at the point of use. An electric motor is 400% to 600% more
efficient than an internal combus tion engine. An EV, per mile, uses one-half the fossil-fuel
resources an ICE consumes. An EV produces only 5% to 10% of the emissions of an ICE per
mile traveled. All of the EV's emissions occur at a (oil- or coal-fueled) power plant, which runs
400% to 500% more efficiently than an ICE and scrubs its own exhaust. EVs can use electricity
from anywhere including sustainable energy resources (wind and sun). EVs are simple, silent,
and affordable to operate.
