It might not be fast, but it can make you rich, depending on the price of Bitcoin.

The electric car revolution is underway, but trikes (2 wheels up front, one at the rear) remain unpopular.

For commuting and shorter distances, the trike makes a lot of sense. It can be lighter, with less mechanical drag, and a much smaller turning circle.

One car brand that has endured with the trike concept, is Daymak. The Canadian company has a proven record of building light electric vehicles, since 2002.

Its latest concept is the Spiritus, due for delivery in 2023. Beyond the Batmobile looks, what makes this three-wheeled electric vehicle so interesting, is its potential to make you money. And we don’t mean, as a two-seater Uber.

Daymak is all about crypto and realising that technology early adopters like some non-physical currency, the Spiritus can mine for it. Really. It can.

The car is equipped with an RTX 3070 Geoforce GPU or even multiple RTX 3070 and Ge Force 3070 GPUs, This hardware is embedded into the Spiritus to enable its array of autonomous driving functions.

With all that processing power, the Spiritus can also mine for crypto, which it will be configured to do. Daymark promises that its Spiritus will have the ability to operate between 60- to 500MH/s, mining from the best available pools, switching independently – or allowing an owner to direct the digital extraction effort.

Spiritus owners will choose in which cryptocurrency to deposit what they have mined, and Daymark will offer its own Nebula wallet, to help with seamless transactions.

You need a lot of power to mine crypto and the Spiritus has an interesting battery chemistry. It uses a lithium-nickel-manganese-cobaltbattery, good for only 36kWh, supplemented by 100W solar roof panels.

Being a small car, the electric motor is rated at 75kW and range is estimated to be 290km. Top speed is conservative, too, at only 140kph.

If you need something more substantial, Daymak is planning to offer an 80kWh battery pack, which might cope better with that cryptocurrency mining venture.

But how much money will your Daymak Spiritus make you?

At the 500MH/s, Daymak reckons you’ll be pocketing R350 per day. What a deal!It makes the R270000 (estimated) purchase price, seems like a bargain.
