You can't let geography or technology be obstacles if you want to develop the kind of car you are targeting. It has to be exceptional in performance, design, quality, and fit and finish. You are competing with the likes of the i8 and Rimac Automobili. You have to fly to meet the people you need to meet, and hire the people with the knowledge and skills required from the world market. Mate assembled an exceptional team, you will have to do the same. You will also need to do targeted market research. Travel to talk to the people you expect to be customers. Talking to people on this list is of very limited use. Sure we can try to imagine what might be required, but we have a completely different approach in our projects and consider many things inconsequential "frills". We just don't have the same mentality at all. Know your customer.
Such an effort will take quite a bit of money - just ask Mate, he spent all his savings. His obsession and single minded devotion to the effort kept him going. That's another thing...Mate was driven, you'll need a lot of that. -- View this message in context: http://electric-vehicle-discussion-list.413529.n4.nabble.com/Books-on-converting-a-car-to-ev-tp4679681p4679830.html Sent from the Electric Vehicle Discussion List mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE: http://www.evdl.org/help/index.html#usub http://lists.evdl.org/listinfo.cgi/ev-evdl.org Read EVAngel's EV News at http://evdl.org/evln/ Please discuss EV drag racing at NEDRA (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NEDRA)
