RE: tax credit




 Hey.. there is a 50,000 tax credit/deduction for ev busses.

Could i buy a used bus.. and convert it.

then strip out the seats and use it as a motor home ?


Seems like if you purchased an old enough unit, only a couple of $K, then it
would actually SAVE you money ..  Old unit = poopy engine..  who cares.. you
are taking it out!

Flop in 360 Volts of NIzn      $7,500.

and one of Victors Fat AC Units and inverter  12k ?

Any batteries you eventually eat up..  would make a good backup power supply
for Solar pack
I guess you could even use your drive pack as your house supply.   360
Volts*83Ahr =about 30kWhr

<Although I suppose using it as your 'house' supply means you would need to
replace it sooner, use cheaper lead batteries for that>

Hell..  I'll drive the bus to work.. and i can take the HOV lane.. and i
dont have to wait for it! !
