| 01.June.2010 - I drive the car already more than one mounth - more than 600km! Everything is good enough - the acceleration, the brakes, especially the range. I drive it more than 55 km - at this point there is no problem. I open the engine cover only when others want to see what I have under it. 05.June.2010 - We measured the weight - its 860 kg, on the front wheels - 440kg, on the rear wheels - 420. Very good for the car with front wheels drivetrain! 18.August.2010 - After 40 cycles of charging the batteries are improved. The range is increased with about 10 miles, and now I can go more than 50 miles. Of course with maximum speed of 50-60 km/h. On a small part of the highway we make 85-90km/h and then... the highway finished :) Have a new video: WebPage /> v=MBPa1IlUeR0&feature=channel :) 01.10.2010 Another video clip: WebPage /> v=frkdq8lZ2cA&feature=related - Thank you, Stanimir :) 17.December.2010 - The winter is already here :( Because the front of the car is not as heavy as it was and I need to put car chains on the front wheels. Added some pictures. 05.2012 - sold the batteries, motor, controller, ordered new stuff :) 01.10.2012 - New kit received - 48 cells 90Ah batteries, with new 3 phase AC motor 14.04.2013.
