(ii) If you cannot visual (sic) in your minds eye just how simple it is to replace a piston and con-rod powered crankshaft with a similar crankshaft powered by electric motors, then you are going to find it very difficult to persuade anybody that you are electrical engineers.
Well I do not know what you are visualising of course, but you certainly do not need a crankshaft, a straight one would be better, but a motor in each hub and eliminating all the transmission shafts bearings and losses and so on better still.
The problem is that the motor and its controls are the really easy bit.
You need to power it, and that is where the 25 year campaign will be needed.
More chargers, more street distribution, more HV transmission, more generation, all will have to be accomodated.
Oh, and if you can develop a better battery for us as well, that would be good.
At least motorbike makers are talking about agreeing on a common swap-able battery format, that should make things easier in terms of charging speed.
