Awl--



Sent a pdf, which I don't know how to copy text from.



But the key features were:



reconditoined, 5-16K mi.



4 wheel disc/regenerative brakes Creature comforts--A/C, tilt, airbags, etc. Nice pickup, 2 door, full bed, white, 1,000+ payload
300 V batteries!!!! Goodgawd.... NiMH (Nickel metal hydride??) Pity the foo' replacing/getting shocked by those, eh? A so-so 65 mi range. No top speed is listed, which means it's proly really s***ty.

COST: $30K !!!!!! Used!! Plus.... $600 for the charger!! Sheeit, at least provide some grease.... Plus shipping from Sacramento. Plus, plus, plus, I'm sure. Plus big big big eventual bucks for the 300 V battery, I'm very sure. Or you could put about 25 12V batteries in series. :) Which right there is about $2500-3000.



Guess I'll still be plundering our environment.



The Zenn is much cheaper, uses 6 std 12 V batteries--much less of a PV down the road.


I've seen Electric S-10 offered for not much more then half that price. The downside to all of these is that the range sucks. Unless you just want a toy these make no sense.
