@Kahnshapir My house has renewable generated electricity. Studies have also shown that an electric vehicle running on coal-created electricity are STILL cleaner than gasoline engines.

All we need now is the necessary tech for fusion reactors, and we can kiss fossil-fuel electricity goodbye.
That'll probably happen after I'm dead, though. =(

So whats your range on it? I've seen people ask a couple of times, and you havnt answered. I've read what you posted below for specs, and that's neat, but how far can yoiu go between charges?

20 to 30 miles, depending on speed, weather, and terrain.
These are only 55 AH batteries. Flooded ones are typically 95 AH - better for range, but the Optima Yellow Tops are sealed and can pull a lot of amps - great for acceleration.
