$7k would likely get you 60mph max and 40-60 mile range. I think this because I'm currently researching a car to convert to EV. $4k gets a subcompact a 60+mph max and a 50-60 mile range. I'm nearly ready, now I'm trying to figure out which subcompact or compact car I can get my tools in. I can't imagine what that extra 200+lb does to the range but the boss would let me plug in and I could probably sneak it at most of the job sites. Lots of info if you google "ev kit".
I'm driving 55 in the Denver Metro since the beginning of the year and most every morning (0530) I get a finger, sometimes three. I mean, WTF? The roads I drive are 55 except for a 1.5 mile stretch from my exit to the 55 zone. Afternoon isn't so bad because the traffic is clogged and 55 is towards the top end of speed. Once I start getting passed I guess people just think I'm a throwback to the last jam.
Fuck 'em. I'm going to drive slow and no amount of hand gesture or horn honking is going to change that. I'm about ready to put a slow moving vehicle triangle on my Cherokee.
