if only had the knowledge and $ to put that together
plug in to current charging stations.......and park in their preferred parking spaces
loose the weight of lead acid?
guy had some money in those goodies..like 500 for the charger?

Could not see how much the controller mentioned went for ....google search guessing 4-5 hundred

next dream is handling like a vette and 0-60 times in the 3 sec. range
not bad for a guy who has no clue how this car even works?
having fun putting on a coat of wax for now

Hi Roy and All,
? Exactly what I've done using the same EZGo transaxle in my EV trike pickup thought using the stock motor and hotrodding it though to only 45mph so it'll last.? 103mph is a bit too fast for my taste.
?My new aero subcar I'm chain increasing the ratio so I can do 70mph with 2 folk lift motors, one to go faster and the other to tow my trailer at speed and get 200 mile + range on new Bolt modules.
It cuts unsprung weight so the ride isn't so harsh too.
Don't try this with a Ccar as the brakes, suspension is only good for 50mph at the most. My Yamaha 1000cc front end is good for 140mph but I'm more than fine with just 70mph and likely to drive more at 60mph anyway.
Thanks for the vid, it was cool!

Robert,

The Volt batteries do not have BMS built into them, but there is an orange connection on top that allows easy attachment of a BMS.? ? The BMS that I am using doesn't allow charging to pass through it.? It balances low cells by feeding those lower cells from the higher charged cells.? Its sort of constantly making adjustments, even as your charging.? ? The charger itself is a separate unit made by Schauer, a company based in Cincinnati Ohio.
