Gently used electric cars are very inexpensive. In January, I had an agent buy me a 2014 Cadillac ELR at auction in Tulsa, OK. GM made 2900 from 2014-16. This one is 1 of about 600 red ones made. It was just off a 24 month lease with 18000 miles. Had it shipped to my house and it came out to...

Although it is the latest Engineering prototype, it looks pretty much like the one before it. I sat in the E1c. It has new bones (the frame) but the same look to its skin except for the color. That said, I noticed a few improvements. The conventional instruments were easier to read. The front...

Elio is in the main entrance concourse at Cobo Center, a few feet from the ticket dispensers. Easily visible on Sunday. Lots of visitors. I was impressed by the window wiper on the E1c that has a "four bar" mechanism that allows it to wipe the narrow rectangular front window much better than a...

With regards to the thermodynamics, here is a reference for Otto Cycle that discusses only the Cycle and not the engine designs using it. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Otto_cycle Here is a reference for the Atkinson Cycle and various machines (engines) used to implement it. The cycle diagram...

Again, do not confuse the "Cycle" with the machine used to implement the cycle. All the Cycles ( Atkinson, Otto and Diesel) have implementatIons that are almost identical in their parts. The 1882 version of the Atkinson engine shown by CrimsonEclipse has mechanical parts as different from...

The Atkinson Cycle ( named for Mr. James Atkinson) is a thermodynamic cycle describing a set of thermodynamic conditions under which combustion occurs and energy is converted from thermal to mechanical energy. The Otto Cycle (named for Mr. Nikolaus Otto) is a different set of Thermodynamic...

All in and committed from Okemos, MI

The Atkinson engine is in current use in Toyota (Prius) and Ford (Cmax, Fusion) hybrids and plug-in hybrids. To have an Atkinson engine of this design requires 1) 4 cylinders and 2) electronic/electrical valve control/actuation instead of a camshaft. Both requirements would increase the cost...

Everyone wants an Elio ASAP. That means money must be raised from somewhere and the Federal Loan is the most straight forward mechanism. For those if us who are "All-in" with significant reservation funds committed, the answer is clear. Help Elio Motors get the factory going so we can take...

Yes, just call v-Stock Transfer, ask, and they will email you one. It has all the information Fidelity needs.

I had an existing Fidelity Account. On June 10, I called Fidelity and got an extremely helpful person who lead me through the stock transfer process. After filling out a single form, signing it and mailing it in to Fidelity, they processed the form and 10 days later my 50 shared of ELIO stock...
