Good comments. I think that, in the same vein, we need mass production and that the only way this will work is if we can put together an exceptable kit for people get use on their own vehicle. But even such a "kit" can be really boiled down to off-the-shelf components.
So far, I hear some encouraging words in regard to cost. A two-thousand dollar rustless vehicle with a blown engine would justify spending up to five grand on the "kit" to do the job.
As a side note, I wonder if any of the Firefly group 31 batteries the Firefly made for the trucking industry are available anywhere. They might solve the battery side of things and reduce weight somewhat. They have the ability to be completely discharged and recover completely time after time.
Anyway, thanks again all.
