Very nice girl!
At 5:15 - "This puts out 1000 watts, which is considerably more power than a stock Volkswagen."
Err, 1000 watts = about 1.3 horsepower, about 50 less than a stock Volkswagen!
I'm guessing he meant 1000 amps. 1000 amps x 120 volts = 120KW, which is about 160 horsepower, now that IS a lot more than a stock bug, must be good fun!
Shame he didn't use an AC induction motor though, then he could leave it in second gear the whole time and have regenerative braking to increase the range even further.
