    Do tax refunds and government incentives reduce the cost of the vehicle?

    Looks good for the concours... Plenty of torque for great acceleration on the autocross course... But that 35mph top speed may be a problem for the drag race. Have to mount a JATO rocket or something.

    What about adding extra batteries to double the voltage, wire in a second controller* to bypass the main controller and combine the factory battery pack in series with the additional cells.
