Be proud in what you've accomplished. Now if you can find a way to extend the range and get it up to a highway cruising speed you've got it made. One question. With the silence of the electric motor, what's road noise like?
Thanks guys. I do expect to attain highway speed with this build. After I get the remaining little bugs worked out and get some benchmark numbers, I will concentrate on improving top speed and range. There are lots of ways to do that. If I were to replace the lead acid batteries with lithium ion, which is highly likely in the future, both speed and range would be quite livable.
As far as road noise - it's kind of a strange combination of gear and motor noise. The tranny and rear end are noisier than I would have imagined. Hear it for yourself. I posted a couple of vids on my blog. http://electricmopar.blogspot.com/
