Some advice on an idea of home buil electric budget car

[sky]

If the goal is DIY both of those models are an inexpensive base to get started from and have a working product to improve upon for between 5 and 10k. These are the cheapest home built electric budget cars I know of.

If you want to go more upscale you'll need to compile a number of components. Or you can pick a base and improve from there.

Warp 9 and impulse9 are both good DC motors and they will provide tech support to users.

Here's a good charge controller:

Well for the price he his asking its not DIY

DIY is something like you upgrade your current vehicule for MUCH LESS then pay 18k for a kit. ZENN sell car for 16k (working no building process)

If you're thinking about a ZENN then you might as well get the faster, less expensive Zebra that i mentioned in an earlier post.

But neither the Zenn or the Zebra are in the same level of performance category as the Tango. A tango is faster off the line than a ferrari and has a 200 mile range on a single charge. If we want to talk about pre builts and you have the budget you could even consider

After having spent a substantial amount of time over decades reviewing EV details It is clear to me that unless you have accesss to free parts from a junkyard you will be hard pressed to build a working all electric vehicle from scratch that provides comparable performance and esthetic to a Zebra for less money. This is why I posted it earlier as a good base to work from. You can go even cheaper with sunnev. Either choice will give a DIY a great base to build upon.
