Hope it's a good read. It also has the teaser vid I made with this last runs footage.

Well if the rumors of a 20kWh Energica are true you could have made a much easier run next year but hey the suffering is half the fun.

A quick side note.  The new Porsche Tacan just did a 24hr track run and did 2128 miles in that time using their 350kw charging system.
The old barriers are falling and the days of gas engines are getting shorter and shorter.

Or how about a 20 kWh Lightning Strike.  Should be ready next month.   ;D  ::)

Yeah right! Trump just ordered all American companies to leave China and find new suppliers.

From what I am hearing, the lightning may not be a real thing. There were some posts recently about people trying to get their money back after the deadlines were missed and having a real problem.
