Here's his report on the power of electric cars:
A 600 HP combustion (gas-powered) engine usually generates 400 pounds of torque that is easily surpassed by a 300 HP electric motor.
Speed TV had a car building show called Stacey David. He built an SLC kit-car on the show that demonstrated the power and speed that can be achieved in building and converting muscle cars. The car looked nice and went together well. We have built the Factory Five GTM and made it electric. However, It took over a year to get the parts from F5.
We have also been working with the Tesla Roadster, which is a Lotus Elise with electric drive. The Lotus has an all aluminum chassis and fiberglass body. We have been able to buy several Tesla roadsters for considerably under retail value. We have a Model S Tesla in the shop that we are doing aluminum repairs to. We have two other aluminum chassis at the shop that we built -- All of these cars are capable of achieving 428.2 HP because of the 5x greater torque ratio.

| GTE electric sports racer |
The best power and performance is achieved by using two smaller electric motors at 300 HP each because smaller electric motors spin faster. The higher the volts and amps the more power you make. This is what we did seven years ago, when we built the original Sigma GTE racer. An added advantage is to drive the front with one motor and the rear with the other. The most successful race cars are 4-wheel drive.
Here's his report on the range of electric cars:
We are constantly designing new body styles and have other designs to work with. There are many options. We can offer the GTE in the mid-40's range and the Audi A8 with all-wheel drive at $70k.
The Audi A8 travels up to 150 miles as an all-electric and is capable of cross-country driving, utilizing an on-board recharge/range extending generator based on a V-Twin bike engine connected to the factory gas tank (that gets over 100 miles per gallon while recharging the electric batteries.)
These are the exclusive custom electrics we have to offer at the moment -- and we would be more than capable of building the exotic custom electric of your dreams -- based on a kit-car, one of our original designs or conversion of a gas-powered vehicle." - Tom Lloyd, contact.

Elite e'cars "Official Transportation" of BecoVillage
"Electric City Cars will be the official transportation and we are giving a free e'car to many of our development investors," said Dave Sleuwaegen, CEO of BecoVille Holding & Investments. "The e'cars will also be available as guest rentals and for sale to residents."
The communities are all shovel-ready, and they will utilize identical design, investment and development plans. The properties in Florida and South Carolina will be the first to be developed. "We have funding for 80 percent of the South Florida property and more than 50 percent of the South Carolina property," said Sleuwaegen. "This has been accomplished through $190,000 per bed angel investors, so we have now opened the opportunity for smaller investors to get involved starting at $5,000 group-funding investments."
A total of 236 single and double-occupancy units and 75 independent senior homes will be built in York, South Carolina that is expected to house a population of 422 residents. The green-living senior community in Sarasota, Florida is expected to house more than 800 residents.
