Hello to all the current and future EVers out there..
I ran across an article/video about a guy named Al Bullock who lives in Cal. He built/converted a 70 VW to EV.. Well with batteries being a key component I looked on line for the batteries mentioned in the video, lithium ion 18650 cells which he used 6000 made in to packs of 8..
The cheapest I could find those cells was for $9.75 each. That comes out the something like $58,500.00..
What kills me is that they mention you can get "his" kit for $18K..
Any comment?
Here is the video on You tube:
