Title: Speaking about electric motors
Post by: aaron88 on May 27, 2008, 07:17:10 pm
I've been thingking alot about this lately.

I know it's an expensive conversion to put in an electric motor (and $15 000 to $30 000 batteries) but it's also arguably better.

Tesla spent something like 35 million dollars developing this car but I think I could build a conparable prototype for about $50 000.  I know it won't likely happen, but I like to think about it.

Bah..  who needs batteries.  Install a small diesel engine and a generator instead.
