Bollinger Motors engineer CJ Winegar takes us through the B1 drivetrain after the prototype's maiden off-roading voyage out west. Next up, the geared axle hub assembly.
Good lucky to the Bollingers in the US from the Bollingers in Perth Australia. Looking forward to see lots of info and offering to test a B1 or B2 on Australian soil 😄
So would you always start in low gear? I was thinking it was more like a low/high transfer case in a typically 4x4. But it sounds like this is a 2 speed manual transmission?
These videos are brilliant. Not only are they interesting, we can see the fun and excitement in the engineers. It's a crucial great part of winning the hearts and minds of your market.
Thanks @Daniel Rose. Apparently I'm just blind! I couldn't find that for the life of me. I did find the other gearbox, looks like the power transfer to the wheel: ua-cam.com/video/WkePgal8bb8/v-deo.html
A really unique layout with 2 gearboxes, I am not aware of any other car using such a layout, but totally makes sense for the application. Just curious, will there be a 2wd mode for increased efficiency? Is it even worth it, shutting down one engine and putting it to neutral? Not sure if it would decrease energy consumption.
No idea on the application for the Bollinger, but when Tesla went from RWD to AWD by adding the front motor, they noted that the AWD had increased efficiency over the RWD cars. I don't believe it was a large amount, but not statistically insignificant.
@Ryan Wallace: that is true, but primarily because the AWD version has better regenerative braking. With AWD you can do much higher levels of regenerative braking without offsetting the brake balance. @Bollinger Motors: Nice to hear. I really like you car, especially because it offers features like the loading capabilities and electric outlet, no gas powered car can offer.

So looking forward to this car coming to the market! First electric car that I am excited about.
The laughter at the end, lol, Ive experienced that when acelerating hard.
Big thumbs up from me. Nice and simple layout, but hard to get right I'm sure.
Thanks Simon!
Great set up. Keeping it sorta simple without the regeneration tech is a good place to launch from.
Thanks. While we aren't going hi-tech with the video screens and such, we will have regenerative braking on the B1.
How much will it be???

Love the sound... the sound of silence. Also, please remove cuss words as you want kids to want this poster.
Thanks Micah. I don't hear any cuss words in this video.

Wish that CJ fella would design me an e-drivetrain for my old series 2a.....literally millions of potential customers right there.
This car should come in India also
Absolument merveilleux cette mécanique
This machine seems all so right!

What previous video @1:35 ? I was looking and couldn't find it...

We're posting that now. Sorry for the confusion.
These are great videos.
Thanks!
Great Video! Post more like this
That's the idea!
Pricing announcement soon?
Hopefully soon. We keep getting better components lined up and updating the CAD.
60000$ approx.

We are looking at the efficiencies of switching one motor off in certain highway scenarios when you don't need AWD.
