Also why go to the expense of buying those batteries? why not a 1.5d and see if you can further improve the mpg from it, lighten the engine components/gear ratios etc?
Interesting idea though and do look forward to what comes of it
Yeh solar panels on the roof is extra charge but only a bit extra. It could be used to charge the auxiliary batter for radio and lights etc but wouldn't really have any charging capability for the 144V system. Using a 1.5 NAD would just defeat the point of the project really. Ive got a HDi which is some of the cheapest motoring ever so im not really interested in another derv project right now. This is meant to be something awesome and different. Something that isnt just another high power derv or racing gti6.
