Jeffrey Automotive Introduces Brand New Plan for a DIY Electric Car
Cornwall, UK (PRWEB) March 5, 2007 -- Jeffrey Automotive is proud to introduce plans for a build it yourself electric car. The car can be built for $5,000 or less, with running costs of less than 3 cents a mile and no garage service bills. An excellent vehicle for doing the shopping, commuting to work or just for plain fun, all this and drivers will be helping the environment in the bargain.
The vehicle is a two-seater, powered by a 72volt DC motor with an anticipated top speed of 60 mph and a range of 50/60 miles on one charge from six 12v deep cycle lead/acid batteries.
The plans and instruction manual are extremely detailed with photographs and drawings throughout to help the builder at every stage of construction. Further help and back-up is available through the web site.
The car was designed to meet the growing demand from drivers concerned about global warming and looking for a fossil fuel free, environmentally friendly vehicle that doesn't cost the earth.
George Jeffrey was well known back in the 70s as a designer and constructor of sports and racing cars in Britain. The best known was the J5, a two-seater open top sports car, described by the press as a curvaceous drivers car.
