:) My students and I have begun a "new" type electric car project! It will be brutally simple. We have replaced the rear axle on a '91 Geo Prism, with the rear axle from a Subaru Justy. The Subaru rear suspension is especially well suited for this format. The Subaru rearend is floating with CV...

I think I read this in one of Electro Automotive's publications, its a way to get a rough idea of your EV's expected range. Multiply your vehicles actual GAS mileage by the weight of your battery pack. For my Mustang it's 20mpg(if I drive it nice) x 1152 = 23040 Divide that # by 420 for...

Greetings All I found this website as another US based supplier of LiFePO4 batteries. www.lifebatt.com From the specs on their site, the cells will do 12C continuous discharge with 18C pulse (10 seconds). That is better than the A123 cells. Now here is the interesting part from their FAQ...
