Haha - I felt the same way about Dr Larry and Greg over on
EV Weblog when I started thinking about project ForkenSwift. Their cars inspired me to want to try it.
I think it would be fun to see an "inspirational" flowchart of people who have built or are building EV's. Sort of a family EV tree.

I am aiming at going with as little componentry as possible for the initial setup (less things to go wrong at first)

Truth be told, the components you're omitting aren't really reliability concerns. And only minor efficiency issues, relative to the power draw of actual driving. Contactors might represent 1-2% of the ForkenSwift's total energy use.
