here is what i have so far...
doner car, 1000$
DC motor plus controls $2500
Batteries 1500$
range 100KM
speed upto 100-110km/h
operating cost should be around 1cent per km as oppsed to 14cents for gas car.
also i would really work on getting the doner car for free+free batteries. so hoping the total car would cost me around 3000$.
3000$ = 2300L of fuel = 32 fills for my freestyle.
honestly you are right and it might not be worth to do it, but i think it would be a great project. Plus from what i read, they are maintanance free once everything is running smoothly.
