#21 of 22 Home built EV drag race car by gagrice Jan 31, 2009 (5:24 am)
This guy is having fun with his home built Datsun EV. Running the quarter in 11 seconds is not too shabby. Not sure the Tesla would beat him. http://www.opb.org/programs/ofg/videos/view/56-Electric-Drag-Racing
#22 of 22 480 volts for Phoenix by akjbmw Aug 22, 2009 (12:26 pm)
Perhaps part of the problems the Phoenix has had is that they don't address the power options. As I recall, it was quite a while ago in response to my specific question, that the "show and tell" folks said that there was an "adaptor" that would allow using home power to recharge, it just took proportionately longer. The ride was "sporty" in nature. I guessed in response to the heavier battery load on the suspension. My old bones like a softer ride. My '98 K1500 rode smoother. Perhaps a different spring-rate. Still, a lot of dollars for the privilege to embarrass the hot-rodders like my '62 Comet with a 351 stuffed in it. That was a different time and a different topic...
