[amsat-bb] Satellite Mobile Ops (EV)

If you want a week of portable battery satellite OPS, don’t overlook an Electric Vehicle (EV) with a 16kWh battery pack.

With over 40 new full size EV’s now on the market from almost every car MFR, and 6 years now of used ones, you can get a huge battery with car attached for under $6k.

I just counted ten EV’s for $9k or less and another 15 for under $15k on http://autotrader.com within 200 miles of my zip code. Do a search for “fuel type – electric” to find them. I saw lots of LEAFs, some VOLTS, and several iMiEV’s and Smarts-4-2. Bob, WB4APR
