The original Carver (with the petrol engine, did 180 km/h), was tested by the Topgear crew, they said it could only be developed and made by the Dutch who had a lot of pot smoked and where in higher spheres when they came up with the idea. Well, I know the guy, Chris, who invented the system and founded the Carver factory (Van den Brink), he was a friend and we used to do a lot of weird things, and he came always with crazy ideas. When we both went to university we lost each other out of sight, but when he came with the Carver I wasn’t surprised.

@@richjohnson7362Good idea, carry around an extra 30 kilogram battery. You might as well just permanently wire it in, unless you're really that interested in lugging heavy batteries around. You'd be better off pulling that electric nonsense out and putting a small two cylinder petrol engine and a ten gallon tank so you could actually travel 200 plus miles at a time.

The only reason I haven’t bought one is the range. Loved the original petrol engine carver, just couldn’t afford one of them.

@flitsies 11 ай бұрын

I've been looking at these for quite some time, I wanted a carver 1 but they have always been way too expensive, these are cheaper but consider the performance and range are still very expensive. Perhaps if they only had certain parts made in china with the most important tilt mechanism and such made by a better engineering place the price would fall. But it's just a very expensive slow vehicle, that has slow charge times for such a small battery. If you had someone who was a bit on the heavy side that battery would drain very quickly, and because it drained quickly would need to be charged more often thus a shorter battery life would end up being the end result. So though the idea is fantastic and I'm glad to see they actually added two doors instead of the original one door they were going to go with, it still lacks certain things that would make it a really good vehicle to buy. 11 grand is not a snip, make this 8 grand and they might sell more of them much quicker, and as they become more popular then raise the price to 11 grand once they hit a target but adding extra features.

It's a nice piece of transportation.. fantastically thought thru.... beautiful and technical design....but much too expensive .Even in Germany I bought a second hand Dahatsu Copen for 11,000 € which had 70,000....I drove thru all eastern Europe on a couple of tanks of gas.. there are great city AND long distance cars out there. I do believe if you can get the CARVER ( the more expensive model) under 10,000. €..more people will be buying..and more will consider...also if you sold a solar panel to charge at home where one lives..that would be a great package deal......

You Mentioned a type 2 adapter. I have a cabin car that really is just a mobility scooter with a roof on it and it charges via a regular 3 pin plug. Would a type 2 adapter work for me to charge it at my local charging stations?

@TotallyEV Жыл бұрын

It could, but you'll need the specific plug for your mobility scooter - equally, not sure how that'll work with the onboard charger you have (don't want to blow it), and on top of that, it won't be secure as anyone could steal your charger - granted if you're with it, that's not going to be an issue.
