Re: [EVDL] truth in advertising (Electric Blue auto convertions)
Gee, ElectricBlue, good idea..."tell it like it is, no need to hide
things". So why did you take on the conversion of our truck when we stated
our requirement for a vehicle that has at least a 50-mile range at highway
(at least 55 mph) speeds? It hasn't done that, especially once the temps.
dropped here in October (there is no battery heating/insulation system on
the truck).
It was recommended to us that we replace the dual cycle, marine
batteries with deep cycle, gel lead acid batteries. The truck sits in our
driveway. We have used the truck to commute to work exactly one week since
conversion completion in May of 2009 ( 28-mile round trip, and it limped
home halfway through the drive home). It's a huge disappointment, and a
financial burden.
"More of the "screw you , we'll build what we want. and deliver any
piece of shit we can" attitude. BUT I was expecting this from them.. just
another day at manufacturing land "
