Hi Guys, This car is now sold. Deposit received. I know that $49,990 is a lot of money, but it was a bargain at that price for what you get compared to the price of a Tesla.

It is a sensational car - The new owner will love it!!!

Many thanks for looking! Paul.

Hi Guys,

I've reduced the price again to $49,990 FIRM. This is WAY BELOW cost to build. It's on Ebay now. It's the closest thing to a Tesla for only $49,990!!! - Should sell quickly at this price!! Call Paul.

This car is still available, although I do have 2 guys interested with trade-in's. There is no clutch and this car has so much power that it can set off in 4th gear easily so no need for any gear changes. I usually use 3rd all of the time. It is very easy to change gears whilst driving in this car w...

Holden made one 11 years ago and called it the E-commodore. If you want to see it and live in SA, go down to the Birdwood motor museum as there is an all-electric Commodore there on display. They made it to take VIP's around Sydney when it was the Sydney 2000 Olympics. So, if they've already made on...

Oh no, you know about KITT - My other project.....
2 projects at once is just too much!
How did you know about KITT?

The Tesla roadster is about $107,000 US and the Tesla dealership will be selling them, for around $250,000 (I have an email from Tesla to prove this)-(so cost in AUD is about US$ x 230%). If the Tesla S sells for $50,000US then x 230% = $115,000 so you are right they wont be $150,000, they will be a...

Hi, I'd like to respomnd to Marty11's question "Do you think that I should wait"? I was in the same boat, wondering whether I should wait until I can buy one or should I attempt to convert an existing car. Then I did some research........The "impact" or EV1 was launched in 1996 and there has been ta...

Thanks for that. I've downloaded the Zillaview and will try it tonight.

Cheers,
Paul.

I got an electric dirt bike for my 6 year old son to ride in my parents 2 acre paddock. It was only $300 from Ebay and is very similar to the one in the photo. It is 24v and has a 250 watt motor. It is plenty fast enough for him. He can ride it very well with no problems. I ride with him on my 800w ...

Hi, I think that you're right Eric. I saw an older looking laptop for sale today in a 2nd hand store in my lunch break. It was only $29 and has the RS232 connection, so I bought it. I brought it home and I've used the HYPERTERM program to communicate with the Zilla. I am really happy about this as n...

Hi, I've installed a Zilla LV 1K controller with the hairball 2 and the car drives fine, but I want to go in and check the settings in the hairball to make sure that its all OK, set at 144v etc. However, I cant get the hairball to talk to my Palm pilot. The Zilla manual suggests using a Palm 505 whi...

Thanks Guys, The idea is to use the circuit breaker as an emergency on/off located on the battery box (which can be reached from the drivers seat). The main reason is for that extra peace of mind just in case the contactor gets stuck in the ON position. I will still be able to shut down the high vol...

Hi, Thats a contactor which operates via a 12v supply.

I am looking for a manual DC circuit breaker that can handle 400 amps so that I can manually turn off the DC side when I need to.

Thanks anyway.

Hi, Does anyone know where I can purchase a 400 amp DC circuit breaker for my EV (which is almost complete)?

I am running 144 volts from the traction batteries (45x120Ah Sky Energy).

EV works use to sell them, but now they are not online.....

Any help would be apreciated.
Thanks,

Hi, I have been in discussions with Tesla about opening a dealership in Australia. However, they told me that they are already working with someone to open a dealership. They also told me that I could have one of the first right hand drive models from the production line if I paid a deposit now. But...
