Ngonyaka odlule, ngathola iloli elincane likagesi elikhulu endaweni yokuthenga yaseShayina futhi nganquma ukuthi kufanele ngibe eyami.Ngo-$2,000 ngangicabanga ukuthi kwakuyingozi, kodwa ngangingeke ngilahlekelwe ipulazi uma isivumelwano siwela.Ngakho ngaqala ukuthenga imoto eyinqaba ekuphileni kwami.
Ngichithe iminyaka ngibuka intuthuko yemboni yezimoto zikagesi eChina.Angikhulumi ngamakhophi akwaTesla nezinye izimoto zikagesi zaseShayina ezidumile.Ngikhuluma ngemboni yezimoto zikagesi ezincane ezi-wacky, ezixakile, ezibuswa ngokuphelele yi-China.
Angigcini nje ngokubhala ikholomu ehlekisayo, ekhuluma ngolimi ezihlathini njalo ngempelasonto ngilandelela ama-EV amancane ayizithukuthezi, ngezinye izikhathi ngize ngizibandakanye ngokuthenga ama-EV engingakwazi ukumelana nawo noma engikwazi ukuzifihlela wona.unkosikazi.
Okokuqala, le nto encane enhle iba iloli likagesi eliphula i-Inthanethi.Izigidi zabafundi be-Electrek ziphenye ikhasi ukuze zizwe ngalokhu.Ividiyo isibukwe izigidi ezengeziwe.Angiqiniseki kahle ukuthi kuyini.Mhlawumbe liwusayizi weloli elincane (lingaphansi kancane kuka-5:8, noma amafidi angu-11 ubude uma kuqhathaniswa namafidi angu-18 ka-Rivian).Mhlawumbe yinani elithengekayo ngoba ngingathenga igaraji eligcwele ngentengo ye-F150 Lightning.Kodwa wonke umuntu ubonakala ethanda leli loli elincane likagesi, kuhlanganise nomakhelwane!
Kusukela ngaleso sikhathi nginikeze abazali bami iloli ukuze balisebenzise epulazini labo eFlorida.Lapho wenza imisebenzi ehlukahlukene, kusukela ekuqoqweni kukadoti kuya emsebenzini wokulungisa indawo.Wozani ngosuku olufanele nizobona ubaba egibele inqola nabazukulu bakhe ngemuva.25 mph (40 km/h) bekungeyona inkinga ekusebenziseni kwabazali bami iSUV.
Ngifisa sengathi ngingakutshela ukuthi mangaki amamayela esiwashayele iloli kusukela ngaleso sikhathi, kodwa empeleni alinayo i-odometer.Kodwa, uma sibheka ukuguga, inamamayela amancane kunalokho eyikho ngempela.Lokhu kungenxa yokuthi leli loli lisimangaze sonke ngokwenza kahle kangaka!
Kuyavunywa, isikhathi esingaphansi konyaka, kodwa uma sibheka imibono, abantu abaningi bebengalindele ukuthi leli loli lizohlala isikhathi eside kangako.Kodwa akugcinanga lapho, kwasebenza kangcono kunangaphambili.
I-hydraulic blade ngemuva ibonakale iwusizo kakhulu ekusabalaliseni isimboza semboza ngabo izithombo zezihlahla kanye nenhlabathi engaphezulu, futhi ibonakala ibangcono ngokuhamba kwesikhathi.
Isici sokusetha kabusha i-hydraulic ram sihle, ngisisebenzisa ngaso sonke isikhathi.Kodwa ngicabanga ukuthi amasilinda awo asebenza ngehydraulic makhulu kakhulu.
Nakuba inokuphakamisa okwanele, ivame ukubhajwa lapho yehla uma singekho isisindo esanele embhedeni sokuyiphakamisa.
Kufanele uvuke kancane ukuze wehlise inqama yokushaya futhi.Lokhu kungenxa yokuthi abukho ubunzima obanele bokusunduza uketshezi olunamanzi aphuma ku-piston ngamandla adonsela phansi kuphela.Inqama iguga ngokuhamba kwesikhathi, futhi manje iyehla cishe njengoba ikhuphuka.
Angazi namanje ukuthi umthamo womthwalo uyini, kodwa nginokungcola okungamakhilogremu angama-500-700 embhedeni wami futhi angakwazi ukuwuphakamisa kalula njengesikhwama esingamakhilogremu angu-40 somhlabathi ongaphezulu.Ngakho-ke, yonke into ikhomba ukuthi umthamo wayo wokuthwala ungaphezu kombhede ongawuthwala.
Olunye usuku lokusebenzisa iloli lami elincane likagesi laseShayina epulazini.Umsebenzi wanamuhla #wamaloli kagesi: eminye imibhede ephakanyisiwe.Ngibhale mayelana nakho konke okuhlangenwe nakho kokuthola iloli ku-@ElectrekCo https://t.co/or1tfyKuJo pic.twitter.com/lM6Fuanfwc.
Nami angazi kahle ukuthi inaluphi uhla, nakuba ngithenge ibhethri elikhulu kunawo wonke elingu-6 kWh eliphume efekthri.Iqiniso elijabulisayo: Intengo yaleli loli elingu-$2,000 ligxume ngemva kokwenyusa inani eliphezulu lentengo yebhethri ngomunye u-$1,000, ukuthunyelwa ku-$2,000, kanye nezinkokhelo zase-US (ngaphezulu ngalokho lapha).
Sivamise ukushaja iloli njalo emavikini ambalwa futhi ngokwembono siba nebanga elingamamayela angu-50 (amakhilomitha angu-80) noma ngaphezulu.
Kodwa njengoba iloli lisetshenziswa ngaphandle komgwaqo kuphela ehhotela, alihambi kangako futhi ububanzi abuzange bube yinkinga.
Washona kanye lapho ibhethri likababa liphela, kodwa wavele wasondela kuye nesiteshi sakhe samandla esiphathwayo iJackery 1500.Wayishaja kungakapheli mizuzu emingaki wakwazi ukuyishayela ebuyela endlini.
Ngaphinde ngathola ukuthi ngingasebenzisa isiteshi samandla esiphathwayo esifanayo kanye nesethi yamaphaneli elanga amane ukuze ngishaje iloli elincane ukuze lisetshenziswe njengejeneretha yelanga.
Lesi isici esihle njengoba amashaja amaningi ezimoto zikagesi angaba namandla kakhulu eziteshini zamandla eziphathwayo ezincane.I-Jackery 1500 ikwazi ukusebenzisa kalula ishaja yemoto engu-1 kW (nakuba kungathatha isikhathi eside).Kepha nezitshalo zamandla ezincane zingasebenza neshaja ecishe ibe ngu-500-600W eze neloli lami.
Ngokusebenzisa amaphaneli elanga ngesikhathi esifanayo neshaja yeloli, ngingakwazi ukugcwalisa amandla elanga cishe ngokushesha njengoba ijeneretha yelanga inganika iloli amandla.Ihlala usuku lonke elangeni.
Uhlelo lwamaloli nalo lusebenza kahle.Ngokukhanya kwe-LED, yonke into isebenza kahle, njengoba kwenzeka ngosuku efike ngalo, ngaphandle kokuthi ubaba wephule intaba ngephutha enye yezibani.Wathi uma eqhuba imoto ngaphansi kwesihlahla yamkhuthuza uyafunga uyahlanza kodwa kulokhu amagatsha aphansi kancane.Kodwa ungakhathazeki – ukulungiswa kancane emzimbeni wethoshi kuzolenza libe lihle libe lisha.
I-air conditioner yayisasebenza kahle, nakuba yayinomsindo kangangokuthi sasingayisebenzisi njalo.Imoto iphefumula kahle uma uvula amawindi kagesi, futhi i-sunroof isiza ukupholisa umoya owengeziwe ongena egunjini.Kodwa ukupholisa umoya kuyinto enhle phakathi nehlobo elishisayo nelinomswakama eFlorida.Ikhumbi elincane leloli elincane libuye lisho ukuthi liphola ngokushesha.Ngishiye i-A/C ivuliwe cishe imizuzu engama-30 ngenkathi ngipaka, ukuze nje ngibone ukuthi azikho yini izinkinga ngesikhathi sokusebenza.Lapho ngibuya, ngathola ukuthi iwindi langaphambili limbozwe ugqinsi.Ngakho yebo, kuyabanda.
Ukumiswa kusaqinile, kodwa lokhu mhlawumbe kungenxa yokuthi izingxenye ziphinde zalayishwa ngokweqile.Iziphethu zinesisindo esingamakhilogremu angu-400, ziqinile kakhulu kuloli elincane.Ngithenge ezinye iziphethu ze-125lb futhi ngibheke ngabomvu ukubona ukuthi zithuthukisa kangakanani ukugibela phezu kwamaqhubu.
Ngaphinde ngakhetha amathayi amakhudlwana eloli, ngethemba lokuthi ngizothuthukisa ikhono layo elingekho emgwaqeni.Amathayi ajwayelekile aklanyelwe umgwaqo.Zikhula kahle enhlabathini enesihlabathi kanye notshani obude ezizungeze ifa, kodwa azilungile.Amathayi amasha kufanele abe ngcono kakhulu.
Omunye wemibuzo evame kakhulu engiyithola kubantu ukuthi ingabe leli loli elincane lisemthethweni yini emgwaqeni.Ngeshwa cha.Abantu abaningi bacabanga ukuthi ngingakwazi ukumbambatha unxantathu owolintshi ngemuva futhi ngigibele ngiye ekushoneni kwelanga.Lokhu, yebo, kuhle, kodwa namanje akusebenzi.Kodwa empeleni akunjalo.
Isigaba sezimoto esisondelene kakhulu nayo yimoto enejubane eliphansi (LSV).Lesi isigaba sezimoto esilawulwa uhulumeni salezi zinhlobo zokuhamba kancane, ngokuvamile izimoto ezincane ezihamba ngamamayela angu-25 ngehora (40 km/h).
Kodwa umbono oyiphutha ovamile ukuthi imoto idinga kuphela umkhawulo wesivinini esingu-25 mph namabhande ezihlalo ukuze abe i-LSV esemthethweni.Kusekuningi okusamele kwenziwe.Zonke izinto zokuphepha kufanele zivele efekthri eqinisekisiwe ye-DOT.Izitshalo zokuhlanganisa izimoto kufanele zibhaliswe ne-NHTSA.Kukhona okokusebenza okudingekayo njengekhamera yokubuka ngemuva (iloli lami linayo), ijeneretha yomsindo yokuxwayisa abahamba ngezinyawo (iloli lami alinayo) kanye nezinye izingxenye ezimbalwa.Futhi, lezi kufanele zonke zivele ezimbonini ezinezitifiketi ze-DOT.Akwanele ukufaka ibhande lesihlalo esithungwe kulo isitika se-DOT.
Ngakho njengoba ngifisa sengathi ngingasebenzisa iloli emgwaqeni, empeleni akwenzeki.Izimoto ezicishe zibe ziro ezihlangabezana nezidingo zomthetho ze-LSV okwamanje zingeniswa eShayina, futhi empeleni abaningi bathi azifinyeleli nhlobo lezo zidingo.Ngethemba ukuthi lokhu kuzoshintsha maduze njengoba ngicabanga ukuthi kunemakethe yangempela yalezi zimoto zikagesi ezincane nezishibhile ezizosetshenziswa ezindaweni ezingomakhelwane nasemadolobheni.Kodwa ngesikhathi esifanayo, basasebenza kahle kakhulu ngaphandle komgwaqo, ngendlela engisebenzisa ngayo eyami.
Sengike ngawabalula amasondo amasha nama-spring engizowafaka maduze nje.Kodwa futhi ngihlela ukufaka ama-solar panel angu-50W ophahleni.Ngicabanga ukuthi ilingana kahle nophahla lwekhebhu futhi ayinamatheli njengesigqoko esihlekisayo.Ngingakwazi ukuyixhuma kusilawuli se-DC boost futhi ngishaje ibhethri ngokuqondile.Iloli lisebenza kahle kakhulu ngoba alisheshi kakhulu futhi lidla cishe amahora angama-40-50 watt ngemayela.Ngakho-ke ihora ngalinye engilijabulela ilanga eligcwele, ngingashaja imayela elilodwa noma ngaphezulu.Ngaphansi kwamamayela amahlanu noma ngaphezulu ukusetshenziswa kwansuku zonke endaweni kusho ukuthi asikho isidingo sokuxhuma iloli eshajani.
Ngidinga ngempela ukubeka umatilasi elolini.Njalo uma ngimboza umbhede wami ngizizwa kabi ngicabanga ngopende owuketshezi.Ngicabanga ukusebenzisa umbhede weloli engingawusebenzisa mina.Noma yiziphi iziphakamiso zombala?
Eqinisweni, uma uneminye imibono emihle yokuthuthukisa kimi, ngicela uyithumele esigabeni sokuphawula esingezansi.Futhi ungasho ukuthi “faka i-peintball turret ngemuva bese uyishintsha ibe yimoto” sengivele ngifuna ukukwenza lokho.
Njalo ngeviki ngithola amathani ama-imeyili avela kubantu abafuna ukuthenga eyodwa lalamaloli amancane kagesi.Ngiyaqonda.Zinhle kakhulu.Qaphela, nokho, ukuthi ukuletha enye yalezi e-US akuwona umsebenzi olula.
Ngingangenisa kuphela i-SUV yami njengoba ukusetshenziswa kwayo emigwaqeni yomphakathi kungavunyelwe.Kusemthethweni, kodwa kusenzima futhi kunezingibe.Ngike ngezwa ngabanye abantu abebezama ukungenisa lawa maloli amaShayina bavinjwe abakwa-custom nabaqaphi basemngceleni ngoba amaloli abebonakala ebheke emgwaqeni.
Ngisho noma ungangeni kule nkinga, kuzoba nezindleko ezinkulu endleleni.Impahla, izimali zechweba, izimali zokulayisha nokuthulula, izimali zokungena ezikhundleni, njll.
Kunezinkampani ezizokungenisa izimpahla, ngisho noma zinganikezi ngokusobala iziqinisekiso futhi zivele zenze ukuhlelwa kwempahla - ngemakhaphu enhle kakhulu.
Abanye babafundi bami nabo baye baba nesithakazelo ku-Alibaba futhi babelane nami ngezindaba zabo zokungenisa ama-mini-jeep kagesi noma ezinye izimoto zikagesi ezinamasondo amane eziyinqaba.Uma sibheka izigigaba zabo, akuzona ezabantu ababuthakathaka.
Okwamanje, ngihlela ukuqhubeka nokusebenzisa iloli lami elincane likagesi, ngiphume endleleni yami ukuze ngenze imisebenzi yansuku zonke futhi ngibone ukuthi yini engayenza.
Nginesiqiniseko sokuthi ngokuhamba kwesikhathi izohluleka, njenganoma yimuphi umshini.Uma lokhu kwenzeka, ukulungisa kungase kudinge ubuhlakani obuthile nekhono.Lolu olunye uhlangothi lokuthenga imoto ngaphandle koxhaso lomdayisi wendawo.Kodwa ngaphambi kokuba abantu baphile kanjalo - uma kukhona into ephukile, babeyilungisa.Ngakho angizikhathazi kakhulu ngakho.Futhi ngineziqu zobunjiniyela bemishini kanye nesipiliyoni seminyaka njengonjiniyela webhethri, ngakho-ke woza emhlabeni!
Uma kukhona onemibuzo mayelana namaloli engingakayiphenduli, zizwe ukhululekile ukubabuza esigabeni sokuphawula esingezansi!Qiniseka ukuthi uyakwenza ngokushesha ngoba isigaba sokuphawula se-Electrek sivala njengesicupho sensimbi emahoreni angama-48!
