I drove like a gangster around town. I didn't care at all about low amps today! It accelerated about like the Kia Spectra. It felt nice like I was in a normal car, and nothing seemed to blow up. I might do that from now on. I did start shaking back and forth on the way back though, since I haven't fixed that yet. It's really fun to drive it. I kept driving in loops around the store parking lot, but no one seemed to care at all. It made me really sad. It's a very useful car, though. There is no trade-off for performance! Only limited range! And the cost was only like $2200 or something like that, because the stupid batteries were like $1500! That's messed up! When I think of those really expensive batteries, I just want to... (WIFE EDIT)!

They make me so mad! Our next plan is to save up and buy like $10,000 worth of Thundersky Lithium Iron Phosphate batteries. They don't blow up, and can cycle like 3000 times to 70% DOD. One guy on the EVTech list has actually tested that claim over the last YEAR, but just quit testing at 2500 cycles since he wanted to free up his equipment. The batteries are still going strong. So, With a battery management system and everything, wouldn't it cost maybe $12000 or something like that???

Why is it that the first Lithium based production electric car that's not the tesla is going to be like $50,000 or something retarded like that. That's what I heard at least. Why can't it be $13500? $12000 for the batteries, and like $1500 for everything else? hahaha! ya! Once the Kia goes to Gasoline Heck (dies), maybe we should do that. I bet we could get around town range of like 200 miles or something ridiculous like that.
