Dave Clouds vehicle was designed to go 200 miles with a thousand pounds of
lead batteries and to boot used ones. The goal was cheap and good. He
succeeded. I suspect if you modified another Sprint or Metro and got every
surface covered you might do real well. Small 15kw pack would lighten up the
car. One mod that would help is to flatten every surface containing solar
cells. Doesn't seem to hurt the Stella vehicles. But it would be a serious
engineering job. A flat surface would have to be reinforced. The 1980 pounds of
Interstate batteries was 10 strings 72v at 50 ah I think 33 pounds each. Must
be about 30kwh..check my math. Anyway I am sure with some detailed work you
might just get your solar ev. Dave Cloud did a good one for 3k not including
labor Don't forget the car and drive train was 1200 pounds. Lawrence Rhodes
