Funny you mentioned diyelectriccar.com, when your post popped up I was finishing the registration over there.

Thanks again for the input.

I have some more calculations to make. The plans are designed around an under 2500 lbs. weight, 5 hp or more ICE, 100-300 amp generator, 400 amp dc motor ( inventor used a surplus DC jet starter motor ).

Fortunately we have a power calculator on the site, so I can play around with different scenarios.

Trust me, a basjoosed Civic 4 door is looking more appealing every minute.
