> Personally, I'd rather contract out the whole EV thing. My goal is not to become an EV expert. My goal is to have an EV ONLY because it is a marketing tool. I personally would be just as happy with an ICE because I can't justify the added cost of an EV..>
Hi ALL.... Audrey here.! Steve Clunn, who has been on your list for many years, showed me your post... I had him do a VETTE a few years ago... it can be seen on the HOME page of our WEB PAGE... We did it with TWO 9" Warp's and a 2K Zilla... kind of sounds like what you all are talking about here. Steve was very impressed with the low power consumption, I believe 300Watts per mile, although this was at slow speeds...( Leas Acid Batteries that we loaned him were a little tired) The customer could not afford the batteries at the time, so we we LOANED him some lead acid batteries. 8 years ago, when everyone told ME .. NOT TO go into an EV Business. ... I forged ahead, against all odds, and a terrible economy, and gas at $4.29 a Gal. to what I have today. A small EV company with 2 employees...converting mostly MEMORY CARS ( 1950...to about 1980's) Classics. That said, Steve is doing a 1998 Porsche Carrera right now. I was a little surprised that Derrick Berger didn't give more information about the batteries he is selling. ( you can see the specs on our web page under HIGH END BATTERIES).. Steve was doing some work for the man that imported a UPS Truck load of these batteries, probably 5 years ago. I think my prices on these are as cheap as any ones. Steve made a pack of these for a College and put them in a 8x10.5 ( size of a Golf Cart ) box and test drove the pack with his electric pick up. He was VERY happy that day... driving the pick up around on ONE battery the size of a Golf Cart Battery !!! Unfortunately, we don't have the specs on this project .. or any pictures.... Probably our most successful business plan is our "ASSISTED PROGRAM".. ( under the COSTS Tab on our web page) was the bright Idea of Steve. Basically, you buy the parts from me,... bring YOU and YOUR VEHICLE to OUR shop...and you and steve go at it TOGETHER for not only a reduced hourly rate, but some FUN Hands ON Experience. !!... ANYTHING that you can do without Steve's help, you can do at our shop in YOUR SPOT ....AT NO CHARGE. When you need steve's help, he is back on the clock ! This may sound too good to be true, can you imagine going to a tire shop, and taking the tire off the car... putting it ON their tire machine, and then only paying for the tire guy to twist it OFF with a machine...and put on a new one..... Then YOU putting it back on the car and paying for 5 minutes worth of work. Sounds too good to be true, but it is. This is one of the things that has kept my business going. !! Another point, is we are at the lowest gas prices in many years. And there still seems to be quite a bit of interest. Thing should only get better from here. Best to JUMP on the TRAIN NOW !!
