In the NEWS:
On Saturday, May 10, 2008, the volt runner ran away with the honors at the Seattle Electric Vehicle Association's Marathon Rally in Everett. On a single battery charge, she covered 101.4 miles at 55 mph using lead acid golf cart batteries.
THE GOAL
Create an all electric powered vehicle from a gasoline powered 2000 Chevy Metro. The goal is to create an all electric vehicle that is sufficiently powerful to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 7 seconds or less, a range of 60 miles, maintain freeway speed, and negotiate our Seattle hills.
In addition, the project intends to experiment with newly developed electric drive system components where possible as well as maximize the recycling potential for the electric system components added to the automobile.
