Re: New E-V isitor



+ Am I right in assuming that a higer voltage (144 or so) would be a better
+ bet than 48V given cable sizing and controller power ratings.?

In most cases, yes. Many people consider 96 V a *minimum* suggested
voltage for standard street-legal EVs. Something around 144-168 V
(with 12 V batteries) sounds good for a Mini.

     "Ambition is like a frog sitting on a Venus Flytrap. The flytrap
     can bite and bite, but it won't bother the frog because it only
     has little tiny plant teeth. But some other stuff could happen
     and it could be like ambition." Jack Handey (Saturday Night Live)
