Ilex EV is a division of Temple Inc. The head of Ilex EV is Nicholas Morgan, who used to be the head of “Hybrid Powertrain Developments” for Temple Motors, but only made concepts for Temple. The Ilex HQ is in Los Angeles, California, and the vehicles are assembled in Nixon, Nevada, with parts from Temple Inc.
Nice! Is there any way to download them?
Ok :c bc they look really good. Nice work on the exterior design!

The engines are placeholders but you can very probably rework the Beam exporter files to have only one gear and an accurate electric torque curve :3

I understand it’s fun to come up with ideas for electric cars, but until such features are actually implemented in-game, how can it be possible to calculate stats for such cars - price, efficiency, performance etc - that have any meaning?
You may as well just claim your cars can do 1,000,000 mph at one billion MPG (sorry, MPG “E”) as no one will be able to say otherwise and you can’t prove it anyway.
Also forgive me my fairly basal technical understanding of EVs but reading through this, especially on the post for the Zultron, I’m finding some of it quite hard to believe. 264 mph is a really big and cool number but are you expecting to get more than 5 minutes from the batteries whilst doing that?

For me the speed seems reasonable, however I would expect a very short lifetime in both the tyres and the batteries for this. Rimac are pushing 1200bhp from the Concept 1 and can reach 228mph. The CTwo pushes almost 2 thousand bhp and can reach 258, but its battery life is indeed hideous at this extreme limit. I don’t see it unreasonable that a highly developed body combined with the correct gearbox 260+ from an EV would be possible, if a bit mad considering it’s taken Rimac 10 years of development to get this far.
The things for me are price and range, these cars are way too cheap, I would not want something so new techwise being sold for so little. Either the company sells every single car at a loss or these cars are supremo cheap. The range is also weird, since 150 “mpge” means nothing. Most useable EV’s today go from 150 to 350 miles depending on quality, efficiency, etc. The bigger the range the more expensive.
I think you’re missing the point I’m trying to make. Those prices don’t matter anyway because compared to any other car posted here on the forum, they’re arbitrary because they’re not calculated within the same game.
