    A nice day out in the C5! Great stuff. I bought a lifepo4 battery this year for my C5 and as you say, it is much better.

      Yes it’s great. I keep saying “Lithium polymer” in the video which is sort of right but specifically lithium phosphate polymer is what I’ve got too.

    I would make one with a 3D printer.

    Looks like you are getting to warp speed... ;)
    Just like my Dyane 6 when it hits 100 kph... I feel like I'm going at 180 kph on my normal car...
    Is there any kind of suspension on the C5?

      Definitely know the feeling. It’s the same in the Morris.

    Despite what you tell people in your (interesting) videos you did not upgrade your battery to a "lithium polymer" battery. It's an Eco Worthy LiFePO4 Lithium Battery ... which is a lithium iron phosphate chemistry (lithium ion) battery. There are various chemistries of lithium ion batteries that are in use nowadays and LiFePO4 is one of them. It is regarded as one of the safer variants of lithium ion and also tends to do well in terms of the number of charging cycles so is long lived.

    Could you make her silent? Or solar powered?

      I guess, but doubt solar power would be feasible without a large panel (and plenty of sunshine which we don’t have here!). In any case the battery is providing more than sufficient range now so even using solar to top it up wouldn’t be an advantage. I think it’s great as it is!
