In the future, if gas is still available, I see electric cars being converted to gas. Cheaper than buying a new set of batteries when they go bad. $15k or something? Some guy blew up his Tesla when he found out how much new batteries cost. Quite the testament.
Some articles say $17k and some say $22.5k. Both are way more than my blue collar butt ever paid for a used vehicle which is all I can afford. If need be, I’ll build my own electric vehicle using golf cart batteries that cost $125 ea. I doubt I’d need 100($12,500) of them.
There was a guy in Orlando that built his own electric S10 truck and it had a range of 40 miles. I’d have to do a little better than that since I’m rural and town is just over 20 miles away.
Reality is, they just want to reduce the number of people that can drive because personal transportation is freedom. That will drive everyone into the big “smart cities” which won’t be near as nice or smart as they say. You’ll own nothing and be miserable.
“They” want?
Bump!
Maybe if we told liberals that hybrid cars are gifts from the unicorns., they would go back to masturbating to Internet porn and leave those of us who live in the real world alone.
The lead acid cells will be very large and heavy but cheap.
Dont know the typically current draw of one of those vehicle ev motors to calc the amp hrs you would need, and also the parallel/serial config.
Natural Gas Cylinders in the trunk are an option too. I saw them in Korea and Asia being used where petrol is too expensive.
Like you building with deep cycle batteries oneself is a decent option. If you live in the city and can get forty miles range it ought to be enough to allow you to keep your old vehicle rather than purchasing a new one outright.

Which is opposite of a recent “World Health Expert” who said people should not live all cooped up and close to each other.
Do we get as many square feet as chicken? Can I sell my eggs?
