Go electric EU - Blog!

Being torn apart before going to the junk yard.

Yey! One more off the streets. Well partly. Good thing is that my EV Scooter did survive the charging mishap, but my car has died. So right now is the challenge to keep myself away from ICE-powered cars until i can buy an EV one. I’m working on some web pages, mostly in swedish to get some Adsense Income but until I’ve learnt the basics of “money making online” as some put it, I’ve just have to walk where I’m going. To bad when one has a girlfirend ouside the city. To far to walk. And now the winter has come = no scooter.

So from 2 vechicles to 0, zero, null in two weeks. I’m getting freaky here… Need.. a.. car…

Holy crap! The day before yesterday I left the charger on over night. Not a problem since the charger should cut down charging to tiny current charging when the batteries are full, but when i checked my scooter yesterday the charger was doing what it could to cook my batteries! Fuck no! The whole scooter was warm from the overcharged batteries and I fear the batteries has taken some damage. it’s now time to get four of those…

or

CTEK XS800 or XS3600. One of the best chargers available, the XS800 is good enought for the scooter but if i buy four XS3600 I can use them for EV Car conversions later… Only one problem with these chargers. They are about $83 or $111 a piece ($332/$444 for four). Firstly I currently have no income at all (studying), secondly I bought the scooter to be a cheap way of transportation.

And if the batteries have taken damage, I also need four of this.

Four 12v 12Ah or 12v 18Ah… and its another $250.

Donations anyone? Feels kinda crappy to have to do this since my economy is down right now.
