What is the range on your homebuilt car that is 1/2 the cost of the factory build one? I have a hard time seeing people get upwards of the 100 mile range that a Leaf gets for 1/2 the cost of a Leaf. Maybe equal to the cost of the leaf, but not 1/2. I'm just curious...mainly on the battery pack and size you use. corbin > 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... > URL: > <http://lists.evdl.org/private.cgi/ev-evdl.org/attachments/20130227/cfe87000/attachment.htm> > _______________________________________________ > UNSUBSCRIBE: http://www.evdl.org/help/index.html#usub > http://lists.evdl.org/listinfo.cgi/ev-evdl.org > For EV drag racing discussion, please use NEDRA > (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NEDRA) _______________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE: http://www.evdl.org/help/index.html#usub http://lists.evdl.org/listinfo.cgi/ev-evdl.org For EV drag racing discussion, please use NEDRA (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NEDRA)
