(200 amp off-board charger under development.) Steering: Rack and pinion with Cadillac CTS collapsible steering column and Momo Corse steering wheel Front Suspension: Unequal length A-arm with coil-over Carrera shocks. Rear Suspension: Trailing arm with coil-over Carrera shocks. Controller: Zilla Z2K motor controller, providing up to 2,000 Amps at 350 Volts (600 kW). Designed and built by Otmar Ebenhoech at Café Electric LLC in Corvalis, OR. Motors: 2 Advanced DC FB1-4001 9” motors, one driving each rear wheel with over 1,000 ft-lb of combined torque at low rpms. 8,000 rpm redline. Transmission: 2 direct drive gear boxes designed by Bert Transmission of St-Constant, Québec, the leading manufacturer of dirt circle track race car transmissions. 10 available ratios from 2.92:1 to 5:1. Standard ratio is 3.86:1. Splined axles can be easily locked together with center sleeve. Hubs/Wheel Bearings: As used on the Mazda Miata. Wheels: König alloy wheels: 14 x 6 front/15 x 6.5 rear, 4-100 bolt pattern Tires: Toyo Proxes T1R: 195/45R14 front; 215/45R15 rear Brakes: Mazda Miata calipers with Hawk HP Plus (rear) and HPS (front) pads. Wilwood master cylinder and pedal assembly.

Multiple compartments for smaller items. Headroom: 39” driver and passenger. Trailer Hitch: Accepts standard 1.25” hitch for towing generator cart for extended range. Front hitch for moving small airplanes. Note: Projected performance specifications will vary depending on final weight, gearing, tires, and batteries used. Acceleration figures assume racing slicks are used on a drag strip. Range: 40-60 miles maximum with Lead-Acid batteries. Over 150 miles with Li-Ion batteries Cost per Mile: About 1/2 the cost of a gasoline car for the average commuter. (see details) Acceleration: 0 to 60 MPH, about 4 seconds. 1/4 mile time about 12 seconds at a speed of approx. 120 MPH (see details) Top Speed: 135 MPH (see details)  _more info after jump_

About Me:

  I am 24 years old and a graduate with my Bachelors Degree in Mechanical Engineering from The New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT).

 

Why Am I an Engineer?

  Because, it gives me the chance to build a dream.

 

Wikipedia:

 Engineers work to develop economical and safe solutions to practical problems, by applying mathematics, scientific knowledge and ingenuity while considering technical constraints. The term is derived from the Latin root "ingenium," meaning "cleverness". The industrial revolution and continuing technological developments of the last few centuries have changed the connotation of the term slightly, resulting in the perception of engineers as applied scientists. The work of engineers is the link between perceived needs of society and commercial applications.
