Hokay
![]() ![]() ![]() Here is the trouble, full electric dosn't have a good (actually quite bad for my use) cost/benifit ratio, and I can easily top $600/month fuel, so if I move this could really help out, besides being cool, and blowing that silly 35mpg regulation out of the water! I have found websites devoted to building an electric car, but I'm still trying to figure out how the diesel driven generator would fit into this whole equation, and then I'll need to properly size it to assist the batteries, help charge them, and likley run whenever I drive up hill. The good news is that I can use the engine at peak effiency at all times, now I gotta make it work ![]()

Did you see the Datsun 210 4 door electric DRAG car on the Speed channel a month ago? If a small diesel could be rigged to run a generator and use that tech, you could get outstanding mileage AND go fast! They were getting 11 second quarter miles out of it. It had rubber blown up over both quarter pannels. They used a 4 speed manual with a lithium battery and a fork-lift type motor and relays. They were plugging it in between runs. (that's where the diesel comes in.)

Tear out that gas gti motor and insert 1.6TD, easy swap. All you need is a different filler neck. 50mpg FTW!!!
