So, there is a AC drive system that can dish out 200HP for accelerating? For less than the cost of a new Tesla Model S? My Z2K and Dual Impulse 9's, with a LiIon battery pack does just fine. (and I have a 50A capable J1772 inlet, and station.) 12KW fast charging is nice. -- Tigers prowl and Dragons soar in my dreams... _______________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE: http://www.evdl.org/help/index.html#usub http://lists.evdl.org/listinfo.cgi/ev-evdl.org For EV drag racing discussion, please use NEDRA (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NEDRA)
