<P class=MsoNormal style="mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'">I’m a member of HEAA (Houston Electric Auto Association).<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'">We have a couple of EE’s with experience in this sort of thing in the club who are starting on a project to make a LiFePO4 battery system suitable for EV’s. Tentatively these modules are expected to be about <B>4.5KWhr, 75VDC, 300Amps</B> max continuous, <B>600Amps</B> peak, with <B>22.5Kwatts</B> (29 hp) continuous power. Modules can be series or parallel connected just like commercial batteries. DC motor EV’s would probably take two modules in series for 150VDC, 9KWhr capacity (@ 250W/mi ≈ 36 miles). A higher voltage AC system could use three or four in series. A more powerful DC system, or if you want twice the range, could use four (150VDC, 18KWhr.) in series/parallel. Each module will be fully enclosed and protected; yet individual cells can be easily replaced. Full BMS will be built-in, with remote SOC/SOH display. The system may also have a built-in battery charger and possibly a DC-DC converter (for 12V battery) depending on what everyone agrees on.</SPAN><o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'">This is a big project expected to take most of 2009. The predicted price of the modules is currently $6,000 but subject to change as things are further defined. Our desire is to be less expensive than other LiFePO4 systems available to DIY EV builders, but of high commercial quality with safety as first priority. To participate in the project, a contract, NDA, and earnest money will be required. There will be a schedule for payments throughout the year as major milestones are accomplished.</SPAN><o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'">Is there interest in this from members of the Austin EV list in particular but not limited to those that are close to the Houston area. The cells are being bought in quantity and building more modules lowers the cost of cells and the proportional costs of getting the electronics made.</SPAN><o:p></o:p></P>
