Hi MetroMPG,
I actually am in the early stages of building an EV with a close friend. It is on pause atm as we decide what kind of vehicle to use. Originally we were going to use a Kia Sportage, but the one we were going to use has a salvage title, and now we are considering something with a clear title. Once we get going on that project I am sure I will be soaking up the knowledge on this board! Anyway, our goal is to have a 4-seater that has ~30 mile range.
I agree the costs of this car rival building an EV that goes faster. However since this is a new (never sold before) ZX40S, the substantial tax credit I should receive next year makes this car a pretty good deal....especially now that it has new batteries and a new charger!
