Double wishbone suspension - BE3

Suspension spherical rod ends

HISTORY

This 135mph speed has already (unofficially) been surpassed by the BE1 at 160mph, a four wheel drive machine also with instant battery cartridge exchange built in. The BE1 achieved this speed on a road under construction in Sussex. In fact the BE1 was the worlds first electric car able to power exchange its own batteries and is now a historic milestone in the development of the electric car.

THE BE3

The Blueplanet Ecostar (or BE3) is a direct development of the BE1 chassis, which went through a further development stage with the BE2 and now has a rear seating position. As the BE1 has already exceeded 160mph, it is expected that the BE3 will comfortably take the British record, having more than four times the power (though the full power complement may not be available in time for the British record attempt).

The Blueplanet team would be pleased to hear from anyone interested in helping them to make this a reality. The Team are looking for donations in kind as well as other support. The serious side of this project is that the cartridge exchange refueling system is the key to a successful transition from a petrol economy to a clean sustainable economy.

John a keen supporter of service forecourts for EVs that are quick and cost effective in terms of building the vital infrastructure support. He says: 

"EV manufacturers should agree a battery cartridge format as a platform for energy supply companies to provide the essential infrastructure. The challenge should not be underestimated. Even with the goodwill of car makers and energy suppliers, the change to electric motoring will take time. Governments should be involved in the fight against carbon build up in our atmosphere, by providing statute and prototype funding for innovation."

Project: Blueplanet Ecostar

An electric land speed record car that refuels itself by changing battery packs between each run - charged by solar power.
