I was thinking, there must be sufficient expertise and experience on the forum and in the club for us to design and build a single seat, longer range commuter vehicle that could cruise at 55mph on the motorway with a top speed of, say 65mph.
With my research for my own commuter EV for longer range etc I think the main problem is not lack of expertise available, or even parts but the time and cost. I am looking at a 2 seater car conversion (for convenience of donor and welsh weather!) but with a set of lithium batteries, and all the kit I will be looking at over £15k plus a huge amount of work. When you look at "commercial" conversions the labour costs make it prohibitive. The vectrix is really good value for what it is, I doubt wether it could be beaten on cost/performance balance easily, though i would love to be proved wrong
