To his credit, Jenkins didn’t sidestep the question. He believes PIF had been shopping around, looking at EV startups for a while. Lucid set themselves apart, Jenkins told me, with the company’s previous work on high-performance batteries. «Our involvement in the Formula E racing series was a good proof-of-concept for our capability in energy storage with our battery technology. I’m happy to say that we very much align on this common understanding that electrification is necessa
«Peter from day one had this philosophy that we could get a lot more space inside the car relative to its external footprint,» Jenkins recounted. «We were taking the position that all modern sedans on the road are really defined by their ICE packagi
The point Gittin Jr. and many EV enthusiasts are trying to get across is that you can have the best of both worlds, and in a hobby like motorsport, if there is fun to be had in a new way, you should enjoy it instead of rejecting it. Nobody is saying to get rid of your 3,000hp twin turbo Viper , they’re simply saying to think about also owning an
This 1977 K5 Blazer has received a conversion to an entirely electric drivetrain, replacing its original 400ci V8, which produced an anemic 175 horsepower from the factory that was routed through a three-speed automatic. Now, under the hood lurks a Bolt EV motor, providing 200 ponies and 266 lb-ft of torque to a four-speed automatic. The transfer case, driveshaft, and axles remain in factory f
An easy way to send directions straight from Google Maps on your phone to the Model 3 is to use the share button in Google Maps. As long as both Google Maps and the Tesla app are installed on the phone it should be a sharing opt
«Obviously, the big focus is launching Air,» he replied. «Getting it into production, making sure all our stores are open, making sure our online digital platform for customer experiences is bulletproof and working well. We’re trying to give our customers the best possible online experience and the best possible ownership experien
In the video above, Jonny Smith from The Late Brake Show YouTube Channel got an exclusive look at the Mach-E 1400, and even got the privilege of getting a ride with Vaughn Gittin Jr. As much as we all enjoy seeing the footage of Gittin drifting the Mach-E as if he was auditioning for the next gymkhana video , that’s not what we are here for today – we’re here because we finally get a deeper look into the makings of this amazing car, and the real ideas surrounding the proj
Aside from changing the shifter out for a dial shifter and gauges for ones more EV specific, the interior remains relatively unchanged. Also unlike what you would expect with an EV swap, the trunk space of this Miata remains untouched, all 4.4 cubic feet of it. It even still has room for the factory spare t
Gittin Jr. and Jonny also discuss how although the body is an actual production Mach-E, the aero is a fully functional system capable of generating 2,300 lbs of downforce that was designed to be effective on both a road course and drifting, featuring a lightweight hood made from f
With all this talk about EVs being the future, it’s easy to get caught up in what a lot of companies are really trying to do. Gittin Jr. mentions that he and Ford aren’t necessarily trying to replace internal combustion cars with this vehicle, but simply using it to educate people about there being other opti
After all, Lucid needs to separate its electric car Game mods|https://evinsightzone.com/ four-door hypercar from its gasoline-powered competition, not to mention its EV rivals from Tesla and Porsche, if the company expects to achieve sales success. So how does Derek Jenkins believe Lucid’s sedan can redefine a market segment so heavily dominated by established automotive conglomerates? Well, in short, by undertaking a ground-up reenvisioning of space, form, and purp
«That’s why we put all this focus on the lighting, on the light blade, we have this incredible microlens array technology which allows the very slim digital lighting. We need very little cooling on the front of the car, that’s why we have this very small opening down bel
They get to talking about how unlike most production EV cars, the Mach-E actually has seven motors – three stacked in the front and four in the back. Concering the motors, while Gittin Jr. claims that «when they go, they’re whining like crazy,» they still wanted to create a sound that would help the Mach-E stand out from the pack. The pro drifter confirms two ways they did this: first, teaming up with Harman for the speakers; second, working personally with American rapper T-Pain to develop the sound its
In order to retain the Miata’s 50/50 weight distribution, Zero EV fit the Hper9 motor along with a prototype 1.8:1 reduction gearbox in the car’s original transmission tunnel. The EV inverter, controllers, and 26kWh battery pack are all neatly tucked away up front in the engine
