    DIY Recycled EV car sets new world record for range (340 miles)

    I've been researching self build battery systems for off-grid usage. With that comes lots of info from the DIY world of electric vehicles. These guys took a car from a junkyard and used recycled batteries to build a car that drove further than the Telsa and the GM Bolt & Nissan Leaf to set a new world record for range on a single charge. (average speed was 70mph)

    The car cost $13k to build..



    Spoiler.. it only stopped at 340 miles because they blew a fuse. It still had 30% battery left.

              Well they aren't just anyone, they are a electronic waste recylcer in Cali, so they get these batteries by the truck load and are trying to keep them out of the landfills. I was watching a live Q&A on youtube from a well known DIY EV guy and the owner of this company was in the chat. He said he was recycling a semi truckload of these batteries every month. That's thousands and thousands of the batteries that end up in landfills if there isn't a market to re-purpose them. He was trying to give the guy on the youtube channel a 100kwh of batteries for a project (the Telsa Model S uses 85kwh for comparison.)

              These are the same size batteries for example used in the Telsa power wall, meaning all these batteries could be powering a lot of shit still instead of going to the landfill.
