The Charging Point Watch out Tesla – here’s the K1 Evelio electric sportscar

Saw this yesterday - it looks the business but the company is a bit like Tesla circa 2004.

Good looking car but I don't think this is going anywhere. Unlike Tesla of 2004, it looks like these guys have no money...

Yes they are currently fishing.

It is a 'K1 attack' kit chassis. We have seen it before on other EV conversions.

The EVELIO wasn't built from the K1 Attack kit as my car was in your posting link.

It shares much of the appearance though.

Lets wish them good fortune. Competition is needed to build a better product. Not government handouts.

What is it then? A clone of a kit car? The appearance seems almost exactly the same.

...the Evelio is based on a Slovakian-built petrol-powered sportscar called the K-1 Attack Roadster...

Ooo, a TEG search smackdown challenge.

I'll get the popcorn!

Tapanga's build status finally updated - WOW!
Following a monumental effort to complete the UK EV Attack build, it arrived on schedule to the 2011 Goodwood Festival of Speed.

The highly modified Attack, assembled as a high performance Electric Vehicle, is named EVELIO

And Doug jumps in the ring! He tags TEG and throws a mighty body slam!

OK, after doing some research here's the (minor) difference I think he was trying to point out:

sale slovakia | K-1 ENGINEERING - History tab:

2000
the first ATTACK, based on a Kit Car, was shown to the world...
...The customer must buy mass produced parts for example Honda Accord 90 – 96 in any used or crashed state, from which he or she uses the drive train with all equipment necessary for engine management, and according to the DVD manual, assembles the parts (the components are delivered in a special container).

2003
work on the development of a prototype of a complete sports car under the name K-1 ATTACK ROADSTER with a Ford drive train, including the carrying out of all calibrations, tests and checks and permissions needed for homologation of the future car for usage on public roads start
during this time the company continues manufacturing kit cars, the sales of which finance investments into developments

2006
...start of sales of K-1 ATTACK ROADSTER begins, each element re-worked or newly developed and nothing is identical to the original Kit car, from the construction and quality side, we are dealing with a totally new car

So the EVELIO has been built out of a converted/modified "K1 ATTACK ROADSTER" complete ICE vehicle with Ford underpinnings (see the already-linked EV Attack thread last page). Slightly different than the original ATTACK kit, which was to be built up with customer-sourced Honda parts. Overall appearance is nearly identical, but it uses different body panels and structures underneath. Recent posts in that link point out that parts, panels, etc. aren't interchangeable between the two (kit vs. 'production' car).

That's the only difference he was trying to point out (though to anyone who doesn't own one or the other, or hadn't been through their forums recently, this difference wouldn't be clear at all).

Let's mark this one up as 'lost in translation'. No need to go for the Mandible Claw or Figure-4 leglock on him... *sheesh*

No nerd fights or pro-wrestling matches.
I posted that "highly modified Attack" quote to say they were both "correct", VFX's reading comprehension skills notwithstanding. <ZING!>

Not gonna sell many tickets with that kind of "let's all get along" attitude.

Can you imagine the start?

Ladies and gentlemen..., LETS GET READY FOR... a reasonable compromise.

Why all the hating Doug? No one said, "kill the ref".
"sheesh" is right...

 

[doug]

Not hating... just teasing. :smile:

There is no conflict.

Without conflict, how do we attract viewers?

That just leaves sex and disaster victims crying on camera.
