I'm currently designing the DIY Electric Car Garage. It's a place where you can "park" your EV and others can view it.

I have a list of the fields I'm going to capture for the EV. Here is the current set:

Name
Make
Model
Year
Batteries
Controller
Motor
A/C
Power Steering
Brake Assist
Range @55mph
Charge Time
Max Power (watts)
Top Speed
Accel Time (0-60 or 1/4mi)
Donor Cost
Conversion Cost
Date Started
Date Finished
Date Added
Date Update
Other Notes

Is there anything I missed?

I've got the platform selected and the screens designed. I also have the vbulletin integration down so we can do single sign-on (no need to login again). I'm trying to balance a really nice, easy interface with all of these fields. I'll try to break it down as much as possible while still keeping it simple.

Great feedback so far! Thanks everyone!

Just thought I'd give you guys an update.

I got really excited this weekend and did a ton of work on this. It's looking good and I'm really excited to see it get filled full of EVs. If everything goes well, I could have it available as soon as the end of this weekend. Worst case scenario would have it ready by the 4th of July.

Thanks!

I added a link in to the build thread of an EV so that when browsing the garage, if you find an EV that's interesting, you can go straight to the progress/discussion thread.

Also I'm going to need a few people that are willing to test this and give me some feedback before we open it up to everyone. This may include a few database resets so those if you who are testing, know that you may have to resubmit your info a few times! It's for the greater good, of course, so I know you'll have no problems with it

That's perfect. I've designed it to handle projects in the works as well as completed ones.

electric85 - That's definitely coming.

I'm building a little widget that shows the most recent update to the garage.

Just a little update...

I've been hard at work on the garage this past week getting everything together. It's really coming along and I hope to be able to get people testing by the end of this weekend.

90% done. Just getting the final bits of security and vBulletin integration in.

I think you guys are really going to like it!

Status update -

Done coding the first revision. It's not perfect but it'll get the job done for now!

I'm going to get it deployed into our production server and then we can start the user testing.

Yes, I'd like a few others to try this out.

Anyone?
