I get that too.
I have a Chevy S-10 in a barn I want to convert to electric in the next year or 2. Using the warp11 electric motor on a 192vdc lead-acid system, with my diesel generator in the back for use as a range extender.
I want to get all the advantages of having an "electric vehicle" but don't want the 40 mile or so extention cord leash.

I hope its big enough.
No really, this thing could snap the stock GM 10-bolt rear end found in these trucks if I can get a motor controler that can handle the power.
