Someone asks again when the car will be on the road...
I don't want to predict, because it'll just end up taking longer. (Originally, I said first electric powered drive in September, and we can see how that went.)
The biggest technical hurdle left to solve is fabricating a motor mount. Not a big deal. (I'm hoping to try out stick welding on that task.)
Theoretically, inside 2 or 3 weeks we could have the electric drivetrain in, so we could hook jumper cables between a couple of batteries and the motor, and off we go! Does that count?
As for licenced and being driven legally, 2 or 3 months is more realistic. Just in time for the dead of winter for our heater-less EV!
