Can the car use smaller batteries? I v’e heard of someone using cordless tool batteries and laptop batteries.

Is that a challenge? Bring it on!
The car is drivable, well over 50MPH (I have yet to find top end, still tuning) and has a range of over 50miles. You will beat me off the line, but I doubt if you can match the range.

What do you think about doing a conversion on a Camero or a Firebird?
Would the size of the transmission be a problem?
I want max range, and max speed.

All that work for something that does 45 MPH?? Would have been cheaper to buy a GEM or ZAP. Now picture 300v going through a Warp-11 and a Zilla 2k. Burn-Out City! Heck MY 96v EV is faster and has more range then that Neon. And I have a BACK SEAT!! LOL!!
No Tom, u picked the wrong motor, controller and coupler. Prove me wrong and post a vid of u burning some rubber! On second thought, don’t break anything. LMAO!!!

Wow. I’ve never seen anyone put a charger on top of EVERY battery. Interesting idea to ‘balance’ the charge. Also interesting to discharge ‘rows’ of batteries as needed (if I understood that). Keep up the good work!

Yep. 100% battery-powered electric vehicle

So this neon is not going to by a “hybrid” it will be 100% electric right?
