I worked at an EV company for a while and rode a ~400cc equivalent electric motorscooter most of the time in nice weather. Never having to stop for gas was a nice benefit I hadn't really considered. |

edit: let me rephrase that a little-- the leaf pack, being what it is reviews like it has more range issues because of it's cooling method. i'm seeing reports that the 80mi is perfect weather. get into near freezing or above 80 degrees, and it's range more consistently drops to somewhere around 30-50 miles. yes, that's still plenty for most people, but it's enough of a dramatic shift to alter the usage viability.

The 80 mile range is based upon the Leaf. The probability of this thing getting that is remote. People are concerned about the 300 mile range on electric cars so why would a probable quarter of that be fine. I rode a bicycle and took the bus for years and never having to stop to plug in was nice. I didn't say it wasn't a fun little project I said it was not any form of improvement on the IC base car. Designed and built as one could be a whole different matter.

For sure a Tesla pack and motor would be preferable but more weight, more $$$... Quote:

I hope that before we go to all autonomous cars we at least have an era were there are smallish/fun rwd electric cars for a bit. Not counting on it... Still it's great to see projects like this. FWIW here's my electric SV650 motorcycle I built with some help from my friends: [ame]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EkTcbaMjF9A[/ame] [ame]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QM33sk7rBI4[/ame] |

It is fun that both the new Subaru Global Platform and Toyota Architecture are clearly stated to be easily adaptable to hybrid and electric vehicles. You may get your wish of a proper electric sports car sooner than you think. I think that at some level we actually agree in most points and I am just trying to say that this particular set up is not practical or really beneficial. It is just baby steps towards the future of modding.

Speaking of which, my "electric SV650" indeed handled like a 2-wheel tank because of weight distribution (two heavy packs in added-on saddlebag structures). This would be way less noticeable in a 4-wheeler but yeah, not ideal... Quote:

Props on the SV in any case.
Don't even break with installation of super mods. 2 wheel cockroach. Still love mine.
