Electric Cars 4WD Auto Electrician

The Mechanics in Forest Glen, experienced Auto Electricians with 4WD, say that electric cars have become more popular in Australia, including communities such as Mons on the Sunshine Coast. A new Aussie company called ZERO Automotive has created a four-wheel drive or 4WD all electric vehicle. Based on the Toyota 79 Series LandCruiser, this remarkable vehicle is officially called the ZED70.

Manufactured in Edwardstown, South Australia, the ZED70 is still in the trial stage in Adelaide. It is available in four different configurations upon production.

• Wagon
• Single Cab
• Dual Cab
• Troop Carrier

Standing for Zero Emission Drive 70, the ZED70 uses a permanent magnetic motor that uses power stored on lithium-ion batteries. The total capacity of the batteries is 88kWh, although the vehicle can be upgraded to 115kWh. What makes the batteries special is that they can be used for over a decade without having to be replaced when properly used.

Mechanics ask- Who is the ZED70 for?

The ZED70 is road legal and ADR compliant.  The Forest Glen Mechanic says it is primarily designed for off-road conditions, such as those associated with the agricultural, mining, and petrochemical industries.  It also makes an excellent vehicle for government concerns. However, anyone can purchase this 4WD vehicle.

The range of the vehicle on one charge is reported to be upwards of 350km. It takes four hours to fully charge the batteries, although the company states that a one-hour full charge time is arriving soon. The weight of the vehicle is 216kgs and the batteries are stored in thick, 3mm boxes for extra protection.

Benefits of the ZED70 for Forest Glen and Mons Communities

The most obvious benefit is that the vehicle produces no harmful fumes. Instead, it runs solely off its batteries for up to 350km. Some of the benefits include the following.

• No sparks
• No backfire
• Silent
• Perfect for encloses areas such as mines
• Reduces target emissions for Australia

Thanks to its rugged suspension, the ZED70 offers a remarkable smooth ride even over rough terrain in Forest Glen and Mons. There are other features as well which make it a solid vehicle such the speed limiting features. The the GPS-operated system combined with cameras that face the driver will slow the vehicle down if you are facing away from the windshield for too long.

Options for the Mechanic of Electric Cars

There are numerous options for a mechanic to maintain the electric cars as well as the following.

• Mine-compliance upgrades
• Geo-fencing
• Full vehicle telematics
• GVM, body and tray upgrades

It is true that the vehicle is priced around $200,000 and takes up to six months from the initial order to final production. This makes it rather expensive, but given its toughness and longevity, it is an excellent purchase for those who need reliable transportation. Especially farmers and those in the agricultural industries that can access solar power for charging the batteries.

For those living in the Mons, Forest Glen, and other parts of Australia, electric cars are becoming far more practical, affordable, and easier to have repaired thanks to a qualified 4WD auto electrician or mechanic. This means that clean energy is starting to replace traditional fossil fuels with electric cars such as the ZED70. For more information contact Harmac Auto Electrics.
