    I have not paid a cent for electricity in 5000km but If I didn't have Solar (Lets face it you would be nuts not to if you have an EV) , If I was paying AGL retail rates for my power 100km would cost me about $7.50

    Its just a guesstimation based on the claimed KWH size of my battery back, I've just ordered a KWH meter which I'll install on my car & be able to quote exact figures soon.






    This type of build is really interesting and you've done a great job.

    Thanks for sharing all the details also!

    Just curious where the weight saving was made from ICE to electric? Looks as if it should be about the same from the detail in the table.

    thanks, DL

    Cheers, The missing ~150Kg is in the Exhaust , Cooling System , Oil bath Air cleaner, and a box full of assorted bits & pieces I pulled off .the Series

    I recently lost a few more Kg as I replaced the Series Accelerator pedal, linkages & golf buggy potentiometer with a Hall effect pedal from a Honda CRX & swapped my SLA 12V battery (for lights / hazards etc) with a Motobatt Lithium.

    The new Nissan Leaf seems like a good thing.

    Soooo,50k for a car with the size and attributes of a Honda Jazz.( about 15k) I can see lots of people buying that although many latte sippers in Redfern or East Melbourne May buy them.

    Yes, the price needs to come down, which I assume it will over time.

    I saw these at AGQUIP at Gunnedah recently. Two wheel drive, I think they're pretty nifty. I'd have one to go to work.

    That's cool! Geez, I could use that to run down to the shops, throw in the back of the 101 when camping, use it on the big events I do.... Couple of solar panels on the roof (I've yet to do this for my house yet, but I'm getting there) so ziltch to run apart from rego and insurance.

    Will see if I have enough pocket money sometime next year - that is a cracking little unit.

    I bet Vicroads would still slug me $700+ a year to register it though....
    If you need to contact me please email homestarrunnerau@gmail.com - thanks - Gav.
