turbo69bird, this would be the thing to do if you could be guarantied it wouldnt burn down as the battery ages/degrades. We produce a small electric piece of equipment with 3 75lbs Li batteries and they cant get below 10% charge or we risk fire just on the shelf - thats brand new.
There’s risks with everything that’s what insurance is for …
But I get your point.

Seems that’s the price you pay (currently) for a 9 or 10 second time slips in a Family car or SUV dead stock. Imagine when people figure out how to MOD these cars which we all know WILL happen.
Anyway Im just stating what I thought was obvious once behind the wheel of one, but being it’s such a disrupter I expect some pushback. someone has to be the one to get out there promote new ideas .

I’ve always been a hardcore ICE kinda guy but this one clearly destroys all my misconceptions about these cars . It’s not really a new idea my friend has one from 1908 but this is a much different beast. At the turn of the century electric cars were outselling gas cars. This will likely fade too but who knows. Either way I thoroughly enjoy this car every time
I drive it. I Feel lucky to have not listened to all the hoopla and given it a try and figured I’d help others over that hurdle as well.
Doesn’t mean I don’t love driving the hell cat or the old Pontiacs I do , but this is a VERY rewarding car in so many ways .
