      Lithium iron phosphate battery - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia More about LiFePO4 batteries. OK, don't shoot me for using Lipo, slang for Lithium-ion polymer battery - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia batteries. I can see how the LiFePO4 batteries can tolerate abuse a lot better than plain lipos.

      I am personally like the idea of a small high speed turbo powered generator using capacitive storage technology with an electric motor.



      Please do not power off, firmware update pending.....

      yes, the 14K includes the donor car price... I've also added a automatic battery watering system integraded with my in dash GPS. it checks the water level and fill up automaticly... so all the batteries operate in optimum performance all the time.

      The system works with some relays and some custom coding.

      I would love to put lippos on this EV... it would increase the acceleration a lot and range as well... but I don't find it "reasonable" at least for now, to spend 20K on a Li battery bank. I think an EV will only be popular if you make it at the same price as a normal car... my goal was to make this EV (the right way) under 12K... I am just a little over my mark (most because I forgot to calculate shipping) LOL...

      LOL... Some say the cycle of Lithium batteries are 3000 + (so they say at least)... LOL... but, with this Aveo, I didn't want EVER change the battery bank... so in the beginning, I wanted a capacitor bank.. which would give me a theoretical lifespan of 8319 years (3 million cycles).. LOL... without EVER getting weak...

      I've contacted a company in OK to quote the price on the capacitor bank (which would be equivalent of a 200AH - 144V bank. (170V capacitor's connected in parallel for more farads (AH) LOL..

      it turned out it would cost more than 400 thousand dollars and quite big... so that didn't turned out good.

      There is a company called Maxwell, which makes super caps... but it's really expensive.

      the closest I've gotten to make a cap bank was connecting batteries to capacitors and running them in parallel.. which gave me a great acceleration and virtually eliminated the voltage sag.

      What do you mean there's no turbo?

      mrcshbs you are my hero!

      I wish I had to skills to do such an incredibly well made conversion.

      I think I'll have to stick to RC Road Cars for now!

      Yes... the Aveo was sold december 2010. I was really sad to let it go.

      Anyone thought about using 4 fisher & paykel smart drive washer motors?
