No. I mean like under 75 miles. I didnt want to spend multiple 10's of thousands of $ of something designed to fail.
Electric car batteries are lasting longer than gasoline engines, not to mention the motors themselves. In CARB states the batteries are warranteed for 150,000 miles. Even if you had to replace a $7,000 battery at 200,000 miles (you won't), the prorated cost is 3.5 cents/mile ... about the same as paying $1.05 for gas in a 30 mpg car.
I figure in 10 years, it will be outdated and easier to replace it with something newer that is electric. They will go a long way in the next decade with all the various manufacturers offering orders on vehicles already.
So maybe, I'll yank the motor and controller from this and use it as a project in something that was made gas, like a 70's japanese or european small car.
