i built this battery pack just to commute to work and back. So I chose to run 18 batteries for 108 volts total. The truck can go up to 60 miles in town, but that is using tremendous hypermiling skills & avoiding traffic/highway speeds. I dont usually go over 30 miles between charges so I cannot say the exact range & havent calculated.
Havent noticed any changes in my electric bill. ballpark figures show $0.25 or less to charge, but then again I am only driving 20 to 30 miles a day usually.
I have been reading posts on bed mods & would like to, but still doing research. Been collecting aluminum angle to possibly build a angled bed topper.
