Saw some great shows on the weekend. They were old, but I had never seen them before.
The first was a show called "Green Cars" that covered everything from hybrids, to bio-diesel, to fuel-cells, to EVs.
The second was Monster Garage. They built an EV racer using tool batteries - it was so cool and it ran 14.5 in the quarter right after it was built. With fine tuning, some weight reduction, and better race conditions they probably could've beat the Super Bee they raced it against.
Man, I so want to make my own bio-diesel and build an EV now! I would love an EV speed-demon/commuter!
