    RANGE CALCULATIONS

    Love it. Would like to build one my self.
    I would try to shed some weight with fiberglass body kit and remove bumbers.
    The range should go up. I would need 80miles at 50mph

    SOLAR CHARGING

    why can't you put solar panel/panels on the roof for a moving recharger?

    To charge the car each day after a 10 mile drive it would take 150 panels covering an area of 700 feet by 300 feet and cost is over $100,000.

    I pay 20 ¢ for power to recharge after the same distance drive.

    At 5% interest $100,000 would yield about $14 per day.
