AEVA Adelaide Presentation, March 21, 2012 Electric Electric Tesla Roadster

The Tesla Roadster is a battery electric vehicle (BEV) sports car produced by the electric car firm Tesla Motors in California. The Roadster was the first highway-capable all-electric vehicle in serial production available in the United States. Since 2008 Tesla has sold more than 2,100 Roadsters in 31 countries through December 2011.[3] Tesla began producing right-hand-drive Roadsters in early 2010 for the British Isles, Australia, Japan, Hong Kong and Singapore.[4] The Roadster has a base price of US$109,000 in the United States, and A$191,888 in Australia.

The Roadster is the first production automobile to use lithium-ion battery cells and the first production BEV (all-electric) to travel more than 200 miles (320 km) per charge. The world distance record of 501 km (311 miles) for a production electric car on a single charge was set by a Roadster on October 27, 2009, Owned and driven by Simon Hackett during the Global Green Challenge in outback Australia, in which it averaged a speed of 25 mph (40 km/h).

According to the U.S. EPA, the Roadster can travel 244 miles (393 km) on a single charge of its lithium-ion battery pack, and can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph (0 to 97 km/h) in 3.7 or 3.9 seconds depending on the model.

Model S is designed and built in California. 20,000 units will be produced per year. 5,000 units will be produced in 2012. American deliveries begin in Summer 2012. The first 1,000 Model S vehicles delivered in the United States and the first 200 in Canada will be Signatures. Model S Signature will come with the 85 kWh (300miles) battery (Other battery options: 60kWh (230miles) and 30kWh (160miles).

Electric Supercars - Eric Rodda - AEVA Adelaide - March 21, 2012 Tesla Model X

Model X is designed from the ground up to blend the best of an SUV with the benefits of a minivan, as only an electric car can. It is an automobile above category, built around the driver - and six of her friends. It artfully provides unfettered performance and brilliant functionality.

It represents their current vision for this groundbreaking vehicle. Tesla expect to begin production of Model X in late 2013, ramping up deliveries in early 2014. Model X will be priced comparable to a similarly equipped Model S. More details will be announced as production nears. Here are the vehicle configurations Tesla plan to offer:

Battery Options: Model X will be offered with a 60 or 85 kWh battery

Infinit's long awaited range-extended electric sports car the Emerg-E has been shown in Geneva and the specs we've been awaiting are official: • 402 bhp (300 kW), • 0-60 mph in 4.0 seconds; • a top speed of 130 mph (209 km/h); • a 300-mile (483-km) range using the three-cylinder range-extender with 30 miles (48 km) electric-only; CO2 output of 55 g/km (NEDC cycle).

Electric Supercars - Eric Rodda - AEVA Adelaide - March 21, 2012 Infiniti Emerg-E - 400 bhp electric sports car concept

There are two electric motors in the center of the vehicle and they drive the rear wheels, so the intention seems to be to create a brand hero with extraordinary dynamic performance, so we just might see this car released. Yet another pointer to the release of the vehicle is Infiniti's role in the UK government's Technology Strategy Board initiative, whose aim is to speed the arrival of low-emission vehicles. The Emerg-E is the first Infiniti to have been developed in Europe and its advanced technology deliberately draws on suppliers beyond Infiniti's usual base in "the quest to uncover the most innovative hardware and the deepest knowledge base."

Electric Supercars - Eric Rodda - AEVA Adelaide - March 21, 2012 Varley EVR450: Australia’s first electric supercar

Australia’s first locally designed and manufactured electric supercar will go on sale for less than $200,000 in January (2012). The Varley EVR450 has been developed in just nine months by Varley Electric Vehicles, the Brisbane-based division of the Varley Group, a 125-year-old privately owned Australian company. Varley says the EVR450 will accelerate from 0-100km/h in 3.8 seconds – making it just one-tenth slower than the $206,188 Tesla Roadster – and will reach an electronically limited top speed of 200km/h. Varley is yet to confirm the EVR450’s powertrain details, however we understand the supercar will be powered by two locally sourced Ultramotive electric motors, each producing 150kW and 522Nm, leading to a combined maximum output of 300kW of power and an almighty 1044Nm of torque. Despite the awesome power, Varley says its lithium-ion battery-powered electric supercar will have a range of 150km that can be extended to 300km when optioned with the range-extension package.

Electric Supercars - Eric Rodda - AEVA Adelaide - March 21, 2012 Rimac Concept_One Puts Croatia On The Supercar Map

RIMAC CONCEPT_ONE Croatia has a supercar: it is the Rimac Concept One, the all- electric brainchild of 23 year-old entrepreneur Mate Rimac. To build the Concept_One, Rimac Automobili recruited a group of ex-Pininfarina engineers and designer Adriano Mudri to its Zagreb headquarters, tasked with creating what it describes as the world's first electric supercar. Power for the Concept_One is provided by four electric motors - two at each axle - delivering 800kW and 3800Nm of torque. Energy is provided by a sizeable 92kWh battery pack…

Electric Supercars - Eric Rodda - AEVA Adelaide - March 21, 2012 Rimac Concept_One Puts Croatia On The Supercar Map

…At 1650kg, it's lighter than the Bugatti Veyron and heavier than the Pagani Huayra - two of its more obvious rivals for outright power. With a 0-100km/h time of 2.8 seconds, it's a hair slower than the former (2.46), and a touch quicker than the latter (3.2). Top speed is listed at 305km/h - not shabby, but well short of the Veyron's 408km/h and the Huayra's 370km/h limits. Rimac hasn't revealed pricing for the Concept_One, but with only 88 units planned, odds are good that it won't take long to sell.

Electric Supercars - Eric Rodda - AEVA Adelaide - March 21, 2012 World’s First? Electric Supercar Taking Pre-Orders

The Li-Ion Inizio holds the distinction of being one of the first all-electric supercars. It can hit speed up to 274km/h and with a range of 400km. Now it’s going into production and can be yours for $US139,000. Li-Ion motors, the North Carolina-based electric automaker, won $US2.5 million in the the 2010 Automotive X-Prize for their work on their Wave II vehicle. Now, according to Gizmag, they’re using the money to bring the Wave II and the Inzio to market. The Inizio has three models for sale at $US139,000, $US189,000 and $US249,000, with the fastest Inizio model going from 0-100 in 3.4 seconds. It uses 12 batteries, comes equipped with two motors and charges in eight hours.

Electric Supercars - Eric Rodda - AEVA Adelaide - March 21, 2012 World’s First? Electric Supercar Taking Pre-Orders

The Inizio's powered by lithium- ion batteries which generate a power output of more than 40kW (and a potential upgrade up to 96.7kW), with an electric motor delivering 145kW. That gives it a 0-to-60 time of just 3.4 seconds.

Electric Supercars - Eric Rodda - AEVA Adelaide - March 21, 2012 Jaguar C-X75 Hybrid Supercar

The concept model has twin micro gas turbine generators from the British company Bladon Jets. These extends the range from 110km all electric to a total of 900km. There is a 145kW electric motor at each wheel.

The $1.15M production model (250 to be made) dispenses with the diesel-powered turbines and instead, uses a downsized highly-boosted petrol engine to run a generator to extend the all electric range of 50km.
