That's legit! I assume you know of the White Zombie?

Looks like you can use a 3-phase motor and a VFD if you want (and can provide a DC-DC converter or other source of 300ish VDC)....

(damn you, I have other things to do tonight!)

I do not! I mean, maybe I do - I think I've seen it before. But it sure wasn't running in the 10s back then....

I did know Ed Rannberg. Stayed at his house on a road trip once. Super nice guy. Let me ride an electric scooter around a giant plant where they built boilers to refry beans for Taco Bell. Got to see Kawashocki taken apart, which was pretty cool considering it was in a couple of my magazines as a kid.

Back when men were men and electric vehicles were made out of lead.
