Thanks Dan for your continued support & offer. We will keep you in mind. For now, further weight reduction will continue to increase range. For Mod #18 we will be switching from 12v lead-acid to 12v LiFePO4 . There's some other aero & weight saving mods i'm looking into. We don't mess with gas here. Newer Samsung SDI cells now have 50% more capacity in the same form factor. Possible future swap. Also, possible CCS fast charger retrofit. Are you any good at hacking into a fiat 500e OS?
I made an external battery pack that charge the car and give 10 more miles. You cannot drive the car while charging (need to modify the firmware and there is so little info about that...) but when I arrive to a place that I will expend 1 or 2 hours, and there is no charger, I put my external charger and charge the car. :) I can expand the capacity with time. Would be great to charge the car while driving. Weight reduction to mee make no mayor difference. My wife goes to work back and forth and she arrives at 20/28 % depending on traffic. And Now I'm going with her there 2 times a week and we have the same % when arrive home. So 240 pounds added and almost not visible difference on range ...
If you’re interested in this MOD go with anyone but that little guy in Arizona Corsa FORESKIN performance, Corsa FORESKIN will ship you out garbage braces via the back of a Donkeys ass! and don’t honor there warranty... So if you have the time to wait for crap metal braces and don’t mind them damaged and gouged only to return them than go with the little man in Arizona.
where can i get those pieces, thanks for the info
Any plans to increase range? On board generator (range extender) or increased battery pack? I would be willing to be a guinea pig.

I have never tried but am willing to learn!

Those out of carbon can be still profitable for companies at that price, but would shave off some weight.

Go to metal supply and pick up some steel stock and you can make your own for $30 bucks.
