Build cost on something comparable is more than most of us would ever want to get involved in.... The batteries even in lead form is going to run you a few thousand(5,000ish), plus another two thousand for the best EV controller(that is no longer produced!!),custom prepped siamesed motors, charger etc.. It's not cheap at all but neither is any competitive drag car. You can read about the evolution of the car and his other daily commuter which is a better example of a semi affordable and usable EV.

PS-you boys don't even want to know how much that lithium pack is...
