Got the sticker

Charging at work today

Huge day for me last Tuesday and then today as well. ERX was inspected by the BAR Referee and registered. I decided to drive to work today and all went very well. I stayed on surface streets and it was about 25 miles. I do not have any meters in the car yet, so I can't push the range too much since I am pretty blind as far as how much power has been used. I can charge at work, so I should be fine going home. Lots of work to do still though. Meters, charge port in the gas cap area, paint, fix some metal on metal squeaking in the hatch where the batteries are, lexan sheet and carpet over the batteries in the hatch, adjustments to the controller to give it a little more pickup in 2nd and of course the radio. Many other odds and ends as well as probably going through the entire build bolt by bolt and make sure they are all still secure after this little shake down testing period.

It has been a long 4 years, but I have learned so much about electric vehicles, systems and cars in general. A great project and fun to drive. Once I get the car looking nicer and running well I will think about taking it to some EV shows, or conservation type gatherings.

Woo Hoo! Feels so good!
