Yes it would weigh 1500 but somehow the kids from Holland did it. Not experienced engineers but students with mostly off the shelf parts. Nothing too exotic except for the motors which are special. But they wouldn't be special for long. It's no mistake or accident that Tesla is sponsoring

I'll guess it's primarily based on economy of scale. Those models with huge numbers of sales are cheaper to make here. Those with small numbers (and no economy of scale) are cheaper to make where labor is cheaper. Peri -- Original Message -- From: "EVDL Administrator via EV"

Eva really did 80-90% of the fabrication and machining on the KillaJoule. She also does nearly all of the other race-related work like packing, cleaning, PR, logistics, ordering parts, dealing with sponsors, etc. I am overjoyed that she is getting the recognition that she deserves for her

Is it possible to build a 4 person car that weighs 1000 (or so) pounds? With trunk or other storage? That would be a game changer. (Of course, with 4 adults in it and some luggage it would weigh closer to 1500+ pounds.) Also, can 5 point harnesses have retractors? Peri -- Original

I think there are many reasons to go for efficiency rather than brute strength in electric vehicles. If your vehicle is heavy you have to have more batteries which are expensive. If you go light and I mean under 1000 pounds you can use less batteries. A 15kw battery in a sub 1000 pound car
