I saw a video once of a college student who built a reinforced recumbent tricycle with a large electric motor and battery. It did 0-60 in 2. something seconds. he took it to a drag racing track and raced cars off the line.
I’d like to have one of those 😆
Though it’s probably best i don’t.
The straight line performance is incredible. The charging and dependency on chargers is in redoble in a bad way
well, yes. so more in the serious vein, i feel that the problem lies in… how soon say this…
the car manufacturing paradigm is laden with establishment greed and corruption. the problem with electric cars is that they are being pushed through that same system.
what i mean is. a gutted 1978 dodge colt with an electric motor and a LiFePo4 48v pack with a simple BMS and a direct potentiometer accelerator is a viable vehicle. is easy to repair and maintain, and can be charged in a couple hours with a panel array.
But the same greed Empire which prevented Tesla’s dream, now stand between us and the technology. And even have the gaul to name their closed establishment vehicles after him.
