Here is a little post to help you become inspired to build your own electric car.

Ken Albright built his own electric car in less than 100 hours.

The cost: Approximately $8000
Sounds steep, but in reality he will will pay that price tag in the next 4 years. At 3 cents per mile to operate his car he can drive wherever he wants without having to worry about the cost.

His design included 5 cars in the front under the hood and 10 in the back to power his electric vehicle. He chose to run his car on a 40 mile capacity because he has a 12 mile commute. Now he can drive to work and back for pennies rather than dollars.

And who knows, the way gas prices are skyrocketing these days he might get a return on his investment in less time than he expected.
