Hi Michael and All,
Now with the car market tanking you
should be able to get some very good prices on new cars like
the Echo, Mazda3, Focus, ect and build new EV's all the same
way and could be sold for about $20k, $10k for the glider
and $10k for the conversion, profit. By only doing 1 model
really cuts production costs and since new could sell to
fleets, Gov, ect.
A battery buying club/used/core
exchange would be a good idea on it's own we should consider
could cut our battery cost by 1/4-1/3.
