If you wanted to drive on the cheap would you go with Woodgas or do a DIY EV Vehicle?
Thats kind of an oxymoron isnt it, because the batteries alone will be thousands of dollars. Then a grand or two for the motor, then even more money for all the other bits. So lots of up front costs, but to pay for the electricity would be cheap, then the only other question would be - How long would the batteries last before you need to spend more thousands of dollars on batteries.
That is why every time I think about what I want to do I lean towards Woodgas. I read that the one farmer could go 3000 miles on a cord of wood, that for him is free, but would cost him $50 if he were to buy it locally. Be alright out in the sticks, but for in city driving, and winter driving, that is what I ponder. Will the power be there if I select the right vehicle, like a V8 Dakota or a V10 Ram, or go 454 Chevy or 429/460 Ford.
