I have a 2012 Fisker Karma which is RWD (2 motors tied together on the rear axle.) Regen works fine- Default on startup is no (very little) regen; I always bump it to max as soon as I start to drive. I also had a 2013 Tesla Model S which was RWD- they didn't have dual motors back then. Regen on...
That's a good thought, and would certainly simplify the powertrain. here's the problem- since there's just one motor to power the wheels while driving as well as provide negative torque on regen, it (the motor-generator) has a clutch on both ends. The problem occurs when the motor-generator...
I've got a Tesla and a Fisker Karma and have a 4xe on order, as well as a Hummer EV reserved. I'm a little into EVs. For the Tesla I use the supplied 40A inline charger, and bought a second one for travel. For the Karma I bought one of those no-name 32A ones from Amazon (the car has only a 3.3KW...
Hey all-

posted this note on the thread about the tax credit, but I'm reposting it here:
"The stickers aren't the holdup if they are want to ship them. They *could* ship them with stickers that say "This vehicle is not for retail sale" then send the Monroney labels to the dealers when they are ready. I...
The stickers aren't the holdup if they are want to ship them. They *could* ship them with stickers that say "This vehicle is not for retail sale" then send the Monroney labels to the dealers when they are ready. I used to own a Cadillac dealership and a BMW dealership and we got new model year...
