100& pure electric
she weighs 3930 lbs
I am very pleased with the range I am getting with the cheapest batteries I could find.
I'm using 13 group 31 deep cycle marine batteries. I went with cheap ones for my first set because odds are that I will wreck a battery or two from lack of experience. I would cry if I killed a $250 battery , these batteries cost $100 each. At some point I will have lithium and the game will change.
The torque is great. I am hoping to kick some ass at the next electric car race event

I put in about 10k , there are very few moving parts to an electric motor(only 1). this will greatly reduce wrench time , if you know what I mean and I'm sure you do. We're talking about a motor that has the potential to drive my Supra for millions of miles instead of thousands.
She's my daily driver and I don't even look at the gas gauge,temperature or Oil, boost nada.
here's the build page:
