zakzak Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 A man will travel from India to the UK using a self-built solar electric vehicle. He wants to spread awareness about green transportation. This electric vehicle can run 80 km when charged for 8 hours and 25 Km when exposed to the sunlight for 5 hours. The total distance travelled will be 10000 km. ___ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sidewinder Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 I wish we could do a 18650 group buy! It would take 1170 of these cells to build a Trojan T-105RE equivalent for approx R20k + parts + labour. So this project is started........ So I need 1165 more.!! Single quantities gladly accepted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sidewinder Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 Prices do vary. The above youtube source groupbuy was at $1.24 per cell. BoB have 4200mA cells @ R12!, but they are Ultrafire, who does not have a good reputation. (i.e. fake, not 4200 mA capacity etc. Would not want to buy locally and shipping overseas has been a problem since airline ban on lipo shipping. I used 2500 mAh per cell capacity in above calc, with 225 Ah total capacity. ___ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
