I wanna convert a small car to electric, but LTO registration...

[Vodka]

seems like a nice project. something like a Mirage. i'll rip the engine out and transplant an electric motor.

but how about LTO registration?

emissions testing would be a problem as there are no emissions

and stencilling the engine number could be a problem coz the engine would be left at home

"change engine" LTO protocol siguro.
the electric puv going around la salle manila has orange plates.
so it is possible.

It's possible pero you'll be the test case. Wala pa atang private car owner AFAIK na nakapag register sa LTO ng electric vehicle.

The LTO has assigned orange plates na nga ata for electric vehicles like those in Makati and DLSU/Benilde ones.

Si MVP merong Tesla car pero nasa Meralco compound lang.

I'd love to see our roads with modern and electric cars. Bawas pollution. Lalo na mga lumang kakaragkarag na mga jeeps.

An auto supply dealer told me many jeep drivers di sila nag change oil. Kasi may tama na makina. What they do is top up lang ng langis. Kaya sobra mausok jeep kasi kasama sa sunog ng makina ang langis. And what's worse, ang langis na binibili nila, second hand. Para mura. Yung mga na drain sa mga kotse natin. Not 100 percent if practiced widely pero very plausible.

so how come these jeeps still pass the emissions test?
and why am i asking myself a question that i probably already know the answer to?

2 years old.
perhaps developments have come up...?

perhaps they purchased the tesla, not for mvp's personal use, to drive around the compound like a pop car, but so that they can design the charging bays.

Forward thinking most likely. If and when electric cars become prevalent, Meralco will be the next Shell/Caltex/Petron. Controlling charging rates. As if di pa nila monopolyo and kuryente sa Greater Manila Area.

Or pwede ring maraming idle cash si MVP at gusto lang ng toy.

folks like him do not have "toys".
they have "investment possibilities", masquerading as toys to us commoners.
forward-thinking nga!

I'm also thinking of the same project ever since I've heard of Zelectric!

ZELECTRIC MOTORS



Found this earlier...



I also did some research on Electric AC for cars - expensive but available...

Issues I've found so far
1. brakes - high end electric cars have this sensor which increases the suction of the hydrovac when the car is at high speed (not required for beetles)
2. How long will the AC last in traffic? - can't find any info on "running time of electric AC"

"change engine" requires the new engine number... not sure if they will accept the electric motor's serial (kung meron)

electric PUVs meet's the required under 60km/h (speed limit) requirement ng LTO

Someone has already registered a Tesla here in the Philippines ... There was a photo posted online of a Tesla with white plates ...

how about simply putting the engine in the trunk, for stenciling purposes i'm just thinking outside the box here LOL

just write the number in a bar of soap...

But seriously... Converting a car to electric is very easy (although expensive)

LTO needs to update the rules on electric vehicles

Eh pano sir pag emission test na? You do that before registration.

Fake muffler? Magtataka sila zero results lahat hehe.

Pero good talaga ang electric vehicles to counter worsening pollution.

yun ang isa pang problema sasabihin ng emissions testing center, na i-istart ang makina

how do we simulate the exhaust gases? fill a tank w/ exhaust gases? hahaha

or run a 4-stroke grass cutter to the tailpipe

yep i've been playing w/ hundreds of these 18650 cells already. so i already have all the battery tech i need to build a larger project. i've already built several 2-wheelers

OT. Where do you get you 18650 cells?

Gusto ko sana sumubok ng DIY power walls. Kahit small projects lang (tipong pang DSL Router or LCD TV).
Kaso wala akong makitang bulk sellers.

Dagdag sa OT. What's the highest capacity in terms of mAH of an 18650? Thanks!

Yes, there was this Tesla car spotted in Timog Ave with a new plate.

why not?
engine or motor numbers are simply ID numbers of the engine.
other than identification purposes, they serve no other function to the LTO.

Yung mga PH UV na umiikot sa festival mall eh naka Orange LTO plates. So i guess LTO can register electric vehicles! I think they use Motolite batteries based on motolite stickers on the windshield
