Screw this. I know how servo drives work.. just have to actually look at them and find a system that does regen. Then i can just make a shitty S10 electric truck cheap that will out run the volt.

There is already a kit to convert Geo Metros to elecric. Actually, not too bad if you are daring & never want to go back. Would only take a weekend.

...well, after scouring HGR I found some parts that I could make work for the drive. It would cost about 500 for the motor and another 250 for the drive, and then all thats left is batteries and some kind of engine gen set. And this is using off the shelf stuffs.

I have a friend who is an electronics wizard that I will ask about building an AC drive system that runs off of a DC input. That would give the car insane off the line power and a programmable power curve so you could get a good curve to get the most speed with out breaking the wheels loose.
