Well,
For one reason or another, it seems like my car has been up on blocks for the last month and a half.
Whether it's plasma cutters chopping through my brakelines or getting yanked around by Craigslisters taunting me by NOT selling me springs, my car has NOT been drivable for a while.
The brakelines are now fixed, and I'm saying "aw, screw-it!" to the springs, just so I can get her back on the road.
I have been feeling very dirty having to use gasoline lately.
The Electro-Metro is now wired up with 12 batteries is series/parallel for 72V - two strings of 6 batts.
Too bad 10 of those are over the rear axle!
I only have one seat in it, no carpet, and no interior panels. The rear end is WAY too low, and the charger is just sitting on a packing blanket.
Still, it's mine, and running down the road on little more than electro-magnetism and will power!
At least now, I can get around without that dirty used feeling of petroleum while I dig up some springs.
And with only switching two cables, I can upgrade to 144V!
I am SO tempted to do that with the "turbo-button" technology, but somehow, I feel you may never hear more posts from me after that.
