Welcome to EV or Bust -  

With all the interest in alternitive energy these days this might just fit in your budget and in the long term save you money. If you travel in a small area around 40 to 50 miles like I do this just might be the right answer. With all the new technoligy coming out it will not be long before you see more EV's on the road.

I’m building a state of the art EV (electric vehicle). By trade I’m a software developer in the Kansas City area. This car will be controlled using some of the most modern technology on the market today. All of the car components will be run using a PC (personal computer). A touch screen monitor will allow access to car lights, door & trunk latches, GPS system, and Sirius Radio. Just to name few of the things. The system will allow monitoring of the battery system in the car.

I'm using a Bradley GT2 as my donor car. It is a lightweight kit car built in the early 70’s. My plan is to totally rebuild the car from the ground up. I hope to have the car completed in the spring of 2009. The car is made out of fiberglass and I really have no experience in the car body field but I know other willing to help out with the project. I want to show the world that if a guy in Kansas City can do it then it must be possible for the larger car companies. I know that many are creating cars with electric technology as you read this. The electric car technology is not new however to get the distance out of the car you need a good set of batteries.

I want to thank the Paintball Wizzard for all his hard work put into this project so far. If you all are wondering how the car is doing? It's great as you can see. We have been busy making all this stuff come together to create a Masterpiece we can be proud of.. I hope you enjoy the show below The car is on final approach as far as the body and chassis goes. How about SEMA! I hear in the grape vine! Let me tell you this project is not for the weak at heart for sure. The Bradley GT2 car has been reconstructed from the ground up and along the way a few new modification toss in just to add to the already complex project at hand. I take great pride in posting these photos! I hope you enjoy them as much as we had getting the car to this point. As soon as I can get some more I will add them in.... Look out world..... Here comes a show EV that will take your breathe away. Did you see those batteries from the Batteries Plus folks, thanks Jimmy!


Check the MiMod Software application from EVInstruments.com now you can manage your EV's battery system.

106.5 the Wolf...,
I would like to give a shout out to 106.5 the Wolf.(View 106.5 the Wolf...) I was letting them know what I'm doing to make people aware about alternitive energy sources. They told me when I get it completed to let them know.

KFKF Radio - 94.1,
Thanks to KFKF for giving me a chance to talk about my project on the radio. View KFKF 94.1

I hope you enjoy your look around and if you have any questions please feel free to ask.
