It will actually take exactly as long to read as to convert the car.

I think I have spent as much time talking about the car as actually working on it.

The specs are pretty modest. It is 72V and currently using 6 x 12V true gel cell (100 amp hours each) batteries. Using a Curtis 400 amp peak 72V DC motor controller and a 10" Nissan forklift motor.

The Solectria Force really is a pretty nice car. I just saw one in the Chicago area. It had mis-matched hubcaps. Only two of them were full moon, but they were both put on the same side of the car, so you didn't notice!
