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. (Well it is not done yet but it is heading to paint.) 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.

Well we got it pretty close to that picture in the right hand corner of the site!
Hey Cory! What do you think..... Electra gets a photo shoot on Friday at 2 pm. She has made it to the big league sir... My dad and my grandfather would be proud!

Well "Electra" is just about completed! Only the tiny details are left to do. Wow! What a great project indeed. I'm proud of everyone that helped on this project. From the Companies that worked hard to help me find parts down to each friend that came over to provide a helping hand. It took all of you! The car performs great! Not getting the miles I thought I would get but I'm still working on that. I learned a ton and was able to create MiMod and bring it to life as well. I can't thank you all enough! When I look at it almost very day knowing what it sarted off as and seeing what it turned into I'm truely speachless.

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!

MiMod is really taking off. I'm really looking forward to getting this in my car and showing everyone everything it can do. I have it managing my entire car. Lights, Wipers, Turn Signals, Radio, and lets not forget the most important thing.. All the EV Management. A 30 day rolling battery report. If you have a EV and want to manage your batteries this is the way to go... Check out our EVInstruments.com site for all the details.

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

Special thanks Fred Poese with the Lee's Summit Tribune for taking the time to do the photo shoot of my car.
