Mark King's Electric Car

[bennelson]

I met Mark King at the MREA Energy Fair.

He is a young guy who just built his own electric car - FROM SCRATCH!

He gave me a photo of his car with some contact info. I was able to get some more photos from him by e-mail later, but he just told me today that there is a newspaper article on him!

Glad to see that it's mostly built from salvage parts.

He must be very proud

(Shouldnt his front tires be thinner?)

Would love to see more detailed build pics... more specs for parts/hardware, etc.
