Introducing the Electric Duster Project

Hey, Bruce! Just saw the videos over at your blog. Very cool stuff. Looks like it still has a decent acceleration, even if it's not the same as the old 360. :) Love the dashboard too.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Don't let the haters get you down. They don't get it. They never will. I'm a huge believer in doing things "because you can," and I'm thrilled that you have discovered that you can make an electric Mopar.

Also, don't get your hopes up, but I read this article recently about the potential for Lithium Ion batteries that recharge in seconds rather than hours. It made me thing of this project and the potential for making electric cars a truly viable commodity.

Hey, it's more gas for my Slant 6 and the other fine Mopars in your livery, right?

Thanks very much for the kind words - I really appreciate it. Yeah, I've been keeping up with the advances in the lithium batteries. There have already been quite a few improvements in them since I began this project, and the price has dropped a lot too. If I were to do another conversion I would likely use them now.

Yup, gas is still cheap and plentiful. The weather is warm this week and I am off work. I'm going to dust off my 68 Dart and burn some rubber (and some fuel). LOL
