The CitiCar came in three models. All three models had a flat diagonal front, a flat roof, and a flat nearly vertical back. Early coupes, designated as model SV-36, had a 2.5 hp (1.9 kW) motor and 36V battery pack. The second model coupes, designated as model SV-48, had a 3.5 hp (2.6 kW) motor and 48V battery pack, and some small improvements.
Club Car’s first product was a three-wheeled golf carts introduced in 1958. The company has continued making carts since. The company is regarded as an industry leader involved in many innovations, including producing one of the first street-legal golf carts. [7] It enjoyed newfound success with its DS line of golf cart beginning in 1980.
A traditional golf cart, capable of carrying two golfers and their clubs, is generally around 4 feet (1.2 m) wide, 8 feet (2.4 m) long and 6 feet (1.8 m) high, weighing between 900 and 1,000 pounds (410 and 450 kg) and capable of speeds up to about 15 miles per hour (24 km/h).
Seeing a way to make a profit in the already competitive lead-acid battery market, Thomas Edison worked in the 1890s on developing an alkaline based battery that he could get a patent on. Edison thought that if he produced a lightweight and durable battery electric cars would become the standard, with his firm as its main battery vendor.
[1] 42 volts is an approximation of the output of the new standard's charging system. [2] The present nominally 12 V automotive electrical system usually operates around 13.8 volts, so 14 V is descriptive. Literature on 42-volt electrical systems often refers to systems powered with a 6-cell lead-acid battery as nominally 14 volts.
Immediately I began checking out every library book I could find about castles, knights, kings and queens, swords, armor and jousting tournaments. My interest quickly evolved into an all ...
The actual voltage, matching the car battery's voltage, will be approximately 12.5 volts when dormant (less in cold conditions), approximately 14.5 volts when the engine and the alternator/generator are operating (more when cold), and may briefly drop as low as 5–6 volts during engine start due to the high temporary battery current usage.
