Our BYD Seal is literally deadly silent just leaving the garage, whereas the MG transmission whine is almost sufficient. 'Didn't see it' will soon be joined by 'didn't hear it' - in statements to police. EVs and blissful ignorance are currently unfortunate partners.

I'm thinking about a recorded loop of a Top Fuel dragster doing it's tyre smoking burn out, then switch to the full fuel launch as the Kombi leaves the traffic lights I wonder if the Prius will need one as well ..... I can just imagine being booked by the Police for excessive noise from an electric vehicle, a video would go viral Will the competition now move from the loudest exhaust to the most offensive under 25km/h warning sound? An option would be an under the bump speaker system, front and back, playing what ever you are listening to on the stereo, that would both warn them of your app ..read more

I have bought a new "voltronic" control board for VM III 3k, and waiting. I have seen that on the smd side, near of the mppt entry, found a TL72c smd. May be my 111v "ghost PV" voltage is generated by this AOP. But for now, I'm waiting the new control board. You are right.there are two strings of 665K(1206 Smd) resistors connected to two 15K (0603 smd) resistors on pin 5 and pin 6 of TL072 IC. This is for Voltage sense of PV. For current it uses HCT1 (LEM HX Series Current Transformer) On pin of TL072 while pin 2 is grounded.MCU performs MPPT function. You should check for this IC and the tw ..read more

Rotor Position sensor failure error (one of the issues my Zoe had, in addition to the bearing failure) Basically the bad bearing causes the position sensor to stop working. On my Zoe I suspect changing the bearing would probably have been enough to fix the car, as the sensor itself still worked until the bearing got hot. I could drive for 5 to 10mins between cool downs (cool down took an hour or two). I was fortunate that Renault Australia replaced my motor and gearbox with a brand new unit under warranty (even though I was way outside the original warranty). I'm keeping the details here for ..read more

Bad Motor bearings replacement (note: this was a different problem to what my Zoe had) I'm copying this across from facebook (originally posted by Dennis Hahn) here, as a more permanent store of information. https://www.facebook.com/groups/4371802 ... ent_follow If the motor bearings fail, the replacement part to order is a 2RZ bearing made by SKF. Must be high rpm bearings as at 140kmh the motor is spinning at roughly 12000rpm.

I hope this applies to all cars. Plenty of super quiet ICE cars Statistics: Posted by antiscab — Fri Apr 19, 2024 2:10 pm ..read more

that is just going to make people want to do 26Kmph in parking lots and places like that so they dont have to hear the noise Statistics: Posted by Adverse Effects — Fri Apr 19, 2024 1:47 pm ..read more

Bit over 4000 KMs and I've worked out that the 400 km Tesla 50 now translates to 600 in the Seal 82, which, allowing for the 68% heavier/bigger battery means efficiency is reasonable close to the Tesla Model Y. With wifey in the car, whilst I'm using the car wash wand, means being startled by the horn reminding you that you can get away with it (). It's just embarrassing...... does anyone have an answer ?. The way to avoid this is to leave the door handles projecting whilst you are high pressure spraying but that's not my preference for obvious reasons. So..........
