Hello Dave, and thanks for posting.

I do understand your ambitious project goals, and congratulations on meeting them. My own goals are a little different, but your car is very interesting to me because of its excellent aerodynamic drag, and the fact that it is or could become an inexpensive EV with enough range and top speed to be practical. What would it take to make the Dolphin your daily driver?

I'd love to see amp readings at 10mph and at 70mph, preferably bidirectional to sort out gravity. This would result in CdA and CRR figures, for real this time. I expect the CdA figure to be better than anything a forum member has ever put full-sized license plates on.
