You may as well build an electric car. I'm sure you could do it for less then 100k. I have a friend who is building one and I think it is going to cost him about 20k.

Building an electric car would be quite the venture, that's for sure.
I say we just put seats on our BL rcs and ride them around, much more cost effective!

The Tesla roadster does not use A123 cells as their energy density is lower than the ones they use. If i'm not mistaken they use 18650 size batteries. Tesla has some good blogs on their website. This one explains why they do not use A123 batteries. You could easely spend hours reading them (all). Very interesting stuff.
