I love the idea of electric cars and we have seen the simplicity of them since many of us took apart our first toys with electric engines as kids. Replacing gasoline engines on a large market, we are no where close to being practical. Minerals are hard to get and until the batteries last 15-20 years just not economical.

I think all of us loved tearing apart small electrical devises when we were kids to see how they worked. You just brought back some very good memories for me. Thank you.

SFC (Join to see) - MAJ Byron Oyler 2 yrs ago I was actually thinking of buying an old trashed out golf cart and rebuilding it with a new stronger dc motor and 2 48vdc batteries. and the ancillary stuff that goers with it. it would have cost me over $10k+ + and then the cost of the golf cart. I opted for a gas cart for $11k already built

SGT Jim Arnold - Sounds like a wise decision. Your original idea reminds me of a good old show:
