Green Car Congress
JANUARY 25, 2010
Ioxus sees this series as serving smaller, golf-cart type vehicles and utility vehicles, as well as for engine starting, Hall said. The grant was awarded to 18 clean-energy businesses in New York State to help companies expand, commercialize cutting edge technologies and create new clean economy jobs in New York.

MAY 31, 2008
While the design of the shaft and transmission adapter is not open-source, there are many other parts (like the DC motor) that aren't open-source as well.

One of the other 914 kit converters questioned why the accessory battery couldn't stay in the original tray, but I decided to remove it anyway and have the accessory battery up in the front trunk near the DC/DC converter. It's a pity that we have to remove this, but the size of the golf-cart batteries clearly interfere with the latch.

You guys go ahead and buy your 40 mile per charge GM golf cart.
