BullDogEV does Electric Vehicles Conversions from Gasoline & Diesel vehicles (& Industrial vehicles/ Heavy Machinery)
We also optimize worksites (Processes, Mechanical Systems & Custom Machinery Designs & Fabrication)
4 Major Divisions:
Ex: BullDozers: D10 Diesel series cost ~$1,000/day in operating costs.
D10T 700 hp (520 kW) 190,000 lb (86,000 kg) (95 tons)(empty)to push 35 cu yd (27 m3) 58,994 lbs (29.5 tons)
D11N 936 hp (698 kW) 230,581 lb (104,589 kg)(115 tons)(empty) to push 57 yd³ (3.6 m³) 96,076 lbs (48.0 tons)
An Articulated Rock/Dump Truck 481 hp (359 kW) (71,028 lbs.) (35.5 tons)(empty)(moves 46 tons)
.
Buses, Semis (415-505 HP, 1560-1860 ft.-lbs.Torque), Tractors, Trains
Coal /Freight cars’ Allowable Gross Weights: 286,000 lbs. (143 tons) across 40’.

2. High End Automotives (ie: A Tesla has a 362 hp (270 kW) and 325 ft⋅lb (441 N⋅m) motor).
3. Moderate vehicles for the middle class
and Working Poor, the segment that most desperately needs the cost savings of electric vs gasoline.
4. TBM (Tunnel Boring Machines), with emphasis towards Tesla’s hyperloop.
——————————
Lithium (esp. Batteries): 4 companies provided 88 % of the world’s lithium (2015).
Electric cars are powered by lithium alloy batteries, with the industry exploring magnesium compounds.
A Chinese co.(Tianqi Lithium) owns/controls over 50% of the current world production, while leaving the world’s LARGEST deposit (in China) alone for now.
Projection: China will use up the rest of the world’s easy resources, then enjoy the home-county monopoly.
In the U.S., Lithium is currently produced only in Nevada.
2107: Of 43,000 tonnes world production, NV only produced 870 tonnes (2.02%).
Tesla’s NV Gigafactory-1 now employs over 3,000 workers & is ramping toward 20,000.
We have identified new sources (for Li & Mg) & are exploring new techniques for extraction.
