Just realized you're looking for a 36V solution and the Currie setup is for
24V. Go to http://evdeals.com/Currie%20Kit.htm and see their similar kit
and options. Theirs is 24V too, but call Scott at 508-695-3717. I'm
guessing some of his motor options could be run at 36V just fine, and
you'll ne
I have little doubt that there are all sorts of contractual restrictions
regarding who Nissan can sell to directly, what constitutes an acceptable
fleet buyer, etc. The only rational way to do this is to contact Nissan
first, before putting anyone's name on a list.

Looks like a Tesla, S or 3. I'm thinking Model 3.
I'm an electrical dolt, but I thought there is no danger in handling an EV
in water because there is no potential relative to ground. Even if
isolation has been compromised and the body is hot, it would be hard to get

Not sure what the laws are in California, but this vehicle will not qualify
as a 'bicycle' (three wheels or less) in legal terms. 750 W is the limit
for that. I'm guessing it will be considered a moped, not sure what that
means WRT licensing, insurance, helmet requirements, etc.

And Ducati just announced they have an electric motorcycle (EM) that will
see production "soon". The EM market is about to go from one player to
four in quick succession. The interesting part is that an industry insider
recently reported that Zero, the market leader, sold only 750 units in
2018.

Probably not. If you assume they can maintain typical freezer temperature

Are you sure the Pro version upgrade can't be retrofitted to your box? I
thought it could.

The Corbin Sparrow had a bad reputation for tipping over, simply because of
its short wheelbase combined with a narrow track. The Deliverator appears
to have very similar proportions, except for carrying its 200-ish lbs of
cargo (350 less driver) in the worst possible place - high over the rear

If a simple, old-school and cheap solution is desired, I still have the
original 48V transformer charger from my Lectric Leopard up in my attic. I
bought the car with only a few hundred original miles and immediately
upgraded everything to 120V, so it can't have been used more than a few
times. I
