Until you pass judgement wait to see it running at TV.

I am waiting, interested and hoping you have grand success.

I am interested with the numbers you quote to charge. I have always read it costs about 1.5 - 2.5 cents per mile to charge an electric cart. Someone on TOTV documented their experience and found it was 1.7 cents/mile.

Staying with round numbers if I use my cart 100 miles per week @ 2 cents/mile, 5200 miles per year, the cost to charge my cart is $104 per year.

I am a fan of the project, just not sure why your charge numbers are so high?
