The sweet thing about electric vehicles, is that you can get all of your torque right from the start. You don't need to worry about RPM's to get torque. So, image, 650-ft-lbs of torque from a standstill. Yeah, axle-breaking, tire-shredding goodness.

I'm in love. I've been researching EV's for many years. There is a milk-truck that was converted that was trying to break the record in speed. But, they kept shredding their drive-belts. Too much torque.

THis is great. I'm putting this one in favorites to continue to follow the progress.

The problem is that there is no torque at higher engine speeds. Sure you have a lot of torque at 0 rpms, but it drops off hella fast with engine speed.

So many swaps/whatevers. I want a solar powered 240!

Wow, welcome to the future:

Honda kid: "Sweet ride dawg, that 2-fizzle got a red-top?"

240 owner: "yep." (pops hood and shows off SR)

Honda kid: "No fool, I meant red-top Optimas"
