This vehicle   more...costs 30 cents a day to operate, including the cost of battery replacement. In comparison, other electric vehicles cost 2X-10X more than gasoline when the cost of battery replacement is considered. Except for this particular EV.

HOW TO REVIVE DEAD BATTERIES - LEAD ACID

SUBTITLE: HOW to REVIVE UNUSABLE LEAD ACID BATTERIES known as SLA, GEL, VRLA AGM, or FLOODED ("WET")

So, you want a Free Battery Electric Vehicle, too? This listing will provides "Battery Reviver" information regarding the first steps:

(1) How to select suitable unusable batteries for your battery-reviver project.

(2) Where to obtain suitable batteries (i.e. 'dead battery piles')

(3) What is the first piece of equipment (you'll need several) that you will need The information in this listing consists of JPG photos and a PDF-document file, delivered by email.

Note: You will need to budget approximately $400-$1,000 in total for this project. However, once you've got your cost-free batteries, you're going to save thousands of dollars a year.FYI the cost of replacement batteries is the BIGGEST expense in an electric vehicle. Check out my EV Diary Part Seven on the Internet for details.

In some cases (as the TV newscrew suggested, see Youtube video clip) to more power than the original battery rating. Google for REVIVED BATTERY PICKUP TRUCK EV DIARY

FYI: Do electric vehicles have enough range? Yes, depending on your driving requirements. With our battery breakthroughs, we've figured out why battery-powered cars seemed to lack range, or used up too many amps when going uphill.

History: In 1999, my life was affected by a book titled, "Divorce Your Car" written by a woman living in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Because of her book, I got rid of my gasser car at the time and got some electric bikes and a scooter (popular with Google founders and Spielberg.) That was the beginning of my hobby of battery-powered transportation. In the small town in Michigan, population 1,500 folks, there were at least three electric scooters. The Currie Flyer scooter impressed me with its ability to climb up a fairly steep hill. Dr. Malcolm Currie, who designed these scooters, retired from designing army tanks and put his talent into zero-emission vehicles. I now owned about ten electric bikes, scooters, and never bought another gasser since. Learned a lot from trouble-shooting, modding, and re-working those electric scooters. Batteries for Ego-II scooters usually lasted six months before needing replacement. Then, an article in National Geographic on the plague of discarded lead-acid batteries from electric bikes there made us wonder if discarded batteries could still be reused. By a series of experiments, we figured out how to rejuvenate batteries for our electric mopeds. Today, we can pretty much rejuvenate any battery, even NiMH and   less
