Maybe I should have put more time in my last post. my shop is busy again and I have it full with conversions, with me, I do conversions ,so I see a factory built as competition so naturally im suspect when I see the new Evs, The leaf is butt ugly to me, and people buy it because there isnt any other kind to buy,maybe the ford but to me thats butt ugly also. I understand they have gobbs of R&D to do and that cost a lot, I know they have to advertise and that cost a lot too. But, there were so many new start up companies a few years back and every one failed, Tesla was the only one the worked, but not with out Govt cash, and a lot of it.
Maybe Im stuck in my ways, after all I have been doing this since 1974. Every EV I build for my self gets sold because some one wants one, and there not that choosy about what it is or how it ;looks or the gadgets it has in it. Point being, where I live I have never seen a leaf, volt or tesla not in any dealers, or on the street, Maybe the west coast has them all. Im building another EV for myself..again .Its a 83 S-10, old but was in great shape, no rust anywhere, never been hit, no dents anywhere, So, its getting restored to new condition. The 11inch HV is already in, frame and rear and front suspension is done , all correct colors, new everything, rebuilt everything . I am bringing the cab in after the snow melts from the garage doors, and re-do it all, new interior, dash, new everything. colour is from house of Colours, candy brandywine @83$ a qt. I need about 6 Qts to do it all,over a gold base coat, with silver base coat highlights . I have new wheels and tires already, Point being, I get a custom EV the way I want it, fast as hell. good range..and it will be LiOn power 300 volts and have a 1,000 or 1400 amp controller, PS,PW,A/C PB,heat, cheaper than a factory built car, the way I want it, the things I want in it, the colour I want. total cost should be 1/2 the cost of new factory built car. But thats me, I havent bought a new car since I dont know when or would I ever buy a new one This S-10 is on the Eastwood company web site blog, with lots of photos -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
