[DML] Re:ANOTHER Electric DeLorean?!

[Bob Brandys <BobB@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Marty, 

We have seen these pictures of this electric delorean.   What makes this car different from Dave's and mine is the use of an AC drive train.  

AC controllers are $10-20K with the motor. They are using the $20k motor and controller. 

The use of AC allows regenerative braking.  This can increase range 10 - 25%. 

DC drives do not allow regen braking at the typical amps used by cars. 

As for their projected range,  I think it is a little optomistic given the limit battery storage space in a stock D.  If they make the modifications like I have done, it would be more probable.
