Back when I was at Stark Tech. (now Stark State) back in 19sumptin.
We built an electric car. Kinda a conglomeration between, Auto Tech, Machine trades,and Electronic engineering departments.
It was basically a stripped down 1980 Honda Accord Hatch back, with a supped up 36 volt fork lift motor, the original trans axle modified a bit.
13 12 volt batteries.
12 for the motor.
One battery powered by a single wire GM alternator to give power to the 12 volt stuff.
Had a top speed of 50 mph and a range of 80 miles.
Boy they sure have come a long way with those electric cars since then.
Guy at work just paid 80 bucks for 50 round of reloaded fmj 38 special. Crazy.
