I broke down and decided to sell the EV. I didn’t have $1500 to spend in new batteries, plus whatever else it may need and figured the cash from the sale would be better spent paying off the couple hundred I have on my credit card, plus finishing preparing for my garden for the upcoming year, plus set aside some money for my bathroom renovation, and still have a grand to toss in the bank.
It’s a sad day indeed but it was just a project that is too grand to tackle and I figure it could better serve someone with the time and money to get it back on the road than sitting in my garage as an ornament, taking up space.
On the bright side, I’m acquiring a beat and broken diesel rabbit to attempt a veggie car build. Mechanics come to me much easier than electrical.
So long to the Solectria Force, I’ll drink a beer on you 
Hello mr. Rabbit, now my 82 1.7 gasser will have a playmate.

Slowly eco-cars are getting better. One day a point will be reached when they are actually viable, and popular.

Exactly, the problem now is that they are far from viable… Everything surrounding them is too damn expensive and hard to source
I’ll be eager to see this one back on the road and wait for the day when a reliable EV can be had for under 15k new… It may be a ways down the road though lol.
