This is the Lightning Electric Car that was featured on the 2009 Hot Rod Power Tour: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T_EiejWX_S4 and by Pete and Jakes Hot Rod Parts at the Back to 50’s car show in St. Paul, MN. This car is no stranger to the race track either. It has run successful tests at Road America in Elkhart Lake, WI and at the Brainerd International Speedway: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jDEAtmMiz00&feature=plcp This is the first of its’ kind Lightning Electric Car (EV) with styling based on the sprint and indy cars of the 40’s and 50’s. The Lightning chassis features 4-wheel disc brakes, and independent front and rear suspension with cantilevered coil over QA1 shocks and rack and pinion steering in the front, and an independent rear axle with QA1 coil over shocks. This Lightning is powered by a Net Gain 9” DC motor, a 1000 amp Net Gain Industrial Controller, and 13-12 volt FMP deep cycle batteries. With the FMP batteries the Lightning Electric Car will take you up to 40 miles between charges, and recharging takes only about forty cents worth of electricity. Plenty of range for your 10-15 mile commute...and no need for a special charging station. It plugs in to a regular 110 volt outlet. The battery pack is easily upgradable to lithium ion batteries that will increase the range to about 100 miles. The current price for a lithium ion battery pack is around $8,000. Plenty of fun to be had with the $700 FMP battery pack for a couple of years until the cost of the lithium batteries becomes more affordable. The FMP batteries also come with an 18 month free replacement warranty. This Lightning has been driven over 2,200 trouble free miles since May 2012 on about $25 of electricity. Open air muscle car performance and zero emissions. It’s the most fun you can have driving. Make it yours.
