ok, for everyone who’s sayin “well how is it eco friendly? he’s plugging it into his house and that’s from a coal or nuculeur plant” just to let ya know those plants are 80% efficient,when the combustion engine is 30% efficient(around)
so shut up he’s 16, give him some credit and if you don’t got anything good to say about it keep it the hell to youself

In the best business management books I’ve read, the authors say that they trained their employees to never come to them with a problem without some possible solutions. They recruited the type of employee who did this naturally. I’m learning to do the same.

Based on this idea, I wouldn’t even think of hiring the critics who have posted here — it doesn’t take much talent to shoot holes at someone else’s implementation, but it does take smarts to say “okay, we can do even better next iteration, and here’s how….” So I challenge the critics here to go the next step and show us if you really know anything worth implementing. Don’t just point out the problems — propose some solutions.

Kudos, kid. I love hiring people like you and parading your successful implementations in front of the nay-sayers who just sit and snipe and produce nothing.

How about everyone who wants to own a cheap EV , are going to start up a company and we all buy shares to finance the design and production. All we need are enthusiastic people to manage this, and make the EV affordable for the masses a reality! I am willing to spend as much as i would for a normal car or more if this will save THE EARTH from pollution, save us from IMPORTED OIL. I like to think of this like an Open Source Project

Just goes to show you that it can be done. While the Bush group continues to tell us we don’t have the technology, a 16 year old makes his own electric vehicle. Americans are sick of the lies and corporate control. This shows that people are taking matters into their own hands. Kudos.

I have no qualms with a range of 40 miles… But, on this cold January day, I’m left wondering to what degree battery performance and range is decreased by sub-freezing temperatures. I also am curious about about how heat is provided to the passenger compartment… not just for passenger comfort, but for the safety provided by the front window defroster as well.

I can’t belive that people are talking bad about this kid when he went out at the age of sixteen and turned a truck into an all electric vehicle. So sorry a kid saved all of his hard earned money and couldn’t afford lithium batteries. And lets just doubt the kid for doing somthing that all automakers have had the ability to do for decades now but said no we won’t make any money off our oil stock. I say go for it kid and if you come up with any ideas that are 100% yours copyright it before they come and try to silence you! Oh and he’s not only a true american but he’s a geniuene great human!!!

Excellent job! When I was your age, I was experimenting with hydrogen generators and simple engines, but never applied it to a vehicle. I’m sure that in your experiments you will find ways to gain efficiency in your systems. Keep it up!

To all of the eco-tards out there that are whining about lead batteries, realize that lead is recyclable.

Hey man great job…. Just one suggestion. Since I see everyone here arguing about your electic consumption, the only good point was made by Jeff DeWitt saying to put a generator in the back of your truck. That’s a good idea and all but how about adding a few solar panels. They sell some relatively inexpensive solar panels with batteries that are used for low voltage electric fences. They don’t generate a great deal of electricity, but while your car is sitting at the beach while you’re life guarding and what not, it can be charging. This will give you at least a little more juice, who know…. maybe if you get enough panels your car will be totally gasless! But the portable generator is also a good idea in case of emergencies.

There has to be a way to make his truck more efficient. In time, I’m sure there someone will figure out how to do it. I think the big corporations are going to accidentally release something that will do them in. They will release a battery in some appliance and we’ll take it and use it for our cars.

To anyone who criticizes the maker of this vehicle for any reason (especially for his use of batteries), you are the people who hold progress back – when a new deal comes along you search for ways to condemn it rather than looking for the value in it.

My regards to Andrew for actually DOING something (anything!), instead of just looking at articles about it and posting comments about them!
