  • I did Randy. You seem fixated on this. I converted the car. I have an assistant, who works for me otherwise and was certainlyhelpful. But we didn't have the care converted elsewhere. I did all the design, parts selection, installation, etc.

    The point is anyone can do it. I have no mechanical skills or automotive experience. I am an electronics engineer which is helpful but not mandatory. Anyone can do this.

  • Wish I could convert my Buick....short trips with gas power are killing my mileage!

    Good job, and thank you for the upload!

  • If you want to reduce your range.

  • Where did you get such an idea? Lithium batteries DO have some calendar life diminishment in capacity. It is nowhere in the same order of magnitude with charge cycles. Comparing one to the other is absurd.

  • Lithium batteries age by calendar-years at least as much as they age by charge cycles. That is, when they get old, they're old, whether or not they've been used much during that time.

    A few thousand cycles, from 5000 to 8000 or more depending on how you treat them and who you ask.

  • in this type of cars you can put an alternator to charge the batteries while u are moving ?

  • Wow, I'm reading Mr. Brant's book right now...

  • Nice work by all. A light vehicle, light ,long lasting batteries and your off oil.
