The kit project is
progressing well.
-
We have all three
battery racks, motor mount, and various brackets documented.
-
The installation
manual is about 75% complete
And the battery
racks have been redesigned - just a bit - to work with 40 to 100 amp
hour Thunder Sky
LiFePo batteries. This battery chemistry is proving to be very
stable and is the chemistry of choice for most production EVs. The 40
amp hour batteries should provide about a 45 mile range and the 100 amp
hours are calculated to provide just under 70 miles.
If you would rather
to wait for the price of these batteries to become more affordable, the
kit is designed to work with the Optima AGM lead acid batteries and can
be converted to Lithium at a later date.
