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 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8WvYNH8cg8I 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: http://www.ddmcse.com/amped

I have a friend that patented a way of getting (umm.. Im not him... so let me see if I can explain it) 1 HP using 1/4 the electricity previously thought as the min requirement. (again.. I am not the engineer.. just the delivery guy.. lol)
I wonder if the technology could be merged with what you are doing. I could PM you his email if you want to try to contact him (if interested). I dont truly understand it, but according to our discussions, it would enable a person to build a car that could do 1000 miles fairly easy.. but I have no idea on the tech specs.
