Haha, I definitely appreciate your honesty and it's exactly what I'm looking for, I am just dreaming up ideas and looking for advice on whether it is useable or not. I am not looking for speed, 45mph would be fine, if that's not possible with a 48v upgrading to a 72 is not a problem again this is all in the dreaming stage no purchases have been made. I would rather plan plan plan and have it work when I do start then to start and try to piece together stuff that won't work and let the project fall apart.

That being said I appreciate the advice, I would be looking to move a small car (probably just a drivers seat and gut everything else) I would like to have 60 miles range (30 miles to work, 30 miles back) even gaining 8-10 miles during the day of solar charging (8 -14 watt solar panels is do-able but they wouldn't be a full 14w all the time). Solar may or may not be feasible I haven't done enough research but it would be nice. What is your opinion on carrying a small "generator" with a gallon or so of gas for emergency charging?

I welcome input you don't have to apologize if it's negative lol, I'd rather be realistic and plan correctly then to be dreaming and have it flop.
