Hello to everyone. I just joined this forum. I’ve been on the [evdl](http://www.evdl.org/) for many years, but I came here looking for an easier to use interface. In the last year or so I worked on an electric car located at Boise State University. Nobody else was really interested in it, so the school eventually thought of it as surplus junk. I got wind of it and they ended up selling it to me for very cheap. [The car](http://www.austinev.org/evalbum/555.html) is ugly to me, but I’m the owner of an electric car now! It was functional when I worked on it at the school, and I think it still is. The problem is the batteries are very old, very abused, and very dead. I’m not sure what my plans are for it yet. Put in a new battery pack and bet it on the road? Find a new donor to put all the components in (eventually I will do this)? Either way I have to wait for the budget to give some allowance for all this spending. So it will probably just sit for a while. Anyway… hello to all! -Jon ---

I took a look at it and it has all the bells and whistles. Let me know if you need any advice. It looks like 20 6 volt batteries? 120 volts? What is your controller? ---
