Thank you for the welcome, component information on my car and a few hundred other cars can be found at

as well as my web site. Our electric rates here in Las Vegas as well as across the country has changed so much and fast that I had to go look up the current rate ($ 0.09691) per kWh. here in Las Vegas. We also have a dual rate option of a straight rate or a peak and off peak rate option.
My car is a bad example for a efficient EV as it uses around 500 Wh/m, I built the car for EV drag racing not as a commuter car but I use it on the street also. I sold my street EV to a retired state trooper and have started building a new one which will be a special built EV to fit my needs, I have a 18 mile round trip to work 5days/52weeks, I will have A/C, power steering, heat, good sounds, power windows and great performance. I also have a Prius Hybrid for everything the EV can't do.
My EV runs on 100% American energy (coal) as opposed to foreign oil, pick you poison.
