Jan 5, 2012: It runs! Have been commuting for the last week in my new EV! Still lots of interior work to do and more testing, but I'm off and running. Nov 13, 2011: Build is nearing completion. Have entire electrical system installed including BMS. Need to program BMS, balance battery pack and I'll be ready for a test ride.
