Comments on: Getting Road Approval for the SRZero http://www.racinggreenendurance.com/blog/?p=342 Fri, 20 Jan 2012 15:20:06 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Toby http://www.racinggreenendurance.com/blog/?p=342&cpage=1#comment-675 Toby Thu, 06 May 2010 10:15:55 +0000 http://www.racinggreenendurance.com/blog/?p=342#comment-675 Thx! Yes, the car is now ready to pass through all the countries on our route. Since we are not importing it indefinitely the regulations are a lot less stringent. It basically comes down to having a Carnet de Passage. Our strategy for charging is to charge off existing infrastructure to show that the infrastructure for electric vehicles is already partially present. Our car can be charged from pretty much any plug in any of the countries, taking into account the different voltages and frequencies. We must just remember not to forget the plug adaptors! Thx!

Glad you passed. Does that mean that the several countries you will go through will consider the car road safe, or do you need to go through another round of bureaucratic hurdles? Presumably standards aren't as tight in South America, but what about the US and Canada? The other thing I was thinking about was charging. From a PR point of view I would guess it would be best to charge with power from renewable energy sources. I don't know how possible this is along your route though. What are your plans for charging? Great. Glad you passed.
