    You guys are amazing. Tesla makes a high-end car that costs thousands more and you do it with a Mercury. Rock on!

    We from India are really happy to have our nano a low cost lovely little transport. So.. for us we want a car that is cheap but can travel a daily distance of say 60 km (with a/c turned on ) / per charge with recharging time of around 6 hours in the night at our homes! Then india may need a million+ of those cars in just 6 cities!

    Back to post.. Cheers for the entire Team of youth who chalange the present limits!

    With warm regards

    Very interested to read about your project - particularly the rapid charging aspect. I have been wondering - is it feasible to use one battery to charge another with similar internal resistance? Would it be feasible (for home charging) to have one battery trickle charging during the day/night then to rapidly discharge when connected to the vehicle battery (perhaps cells could be coupled in parallel to avoid excessive current down a single path.)

    Aside from cost are there any obstacles to an arrangement like this?

    Can't wait to see the end result. A rapid charging system plus car performance equal to or better than a gas version could finally get the masses in breaking the addiction to oil. Of course the final hurdle will be in the vehicle's sticker price.

    I just hope all works out well and that none of the major auto companies pull off a stupid stunt like GM did with the EV1.
