- Matt has done a great job so far on documenting the progress of his 1990 Nissan 240SX electric conversion. I particularly like the dualing DC motors, but his work on the back batteries is nice, too. Looks like he’s going to custom make the back-end enclosure (covering the battery sub-floor and sides like Peter did), but he doesn’t mention the material yet.
- Speaking of conversions, Ryan Bohm and Bill Dennis’s electric car projects both got a mention in their local paper.
- An anonymous reader sent in a link to the Minneapolis/St. Paul International Film Festival where they will be showing Who Killed the Electric Car? this Friday at 5pm.
- Jerry Hood sent along a link to this story about the electric car with 300 miles of range. It’s from Hybrid technologies and the $35k EV uses lithium (unobtanium maximus) batteries.
- Finally there’s this cool three wheel electric car prototype over in Bath. This is starting to look a little bit like my SUV wedge idea: a car that features a low-to-the-ground profile and wedge shape such that when hit by an SUV it causes the behemoth to go flying/flipping through the air like you see in action movies. (just kidding)
