Pricing the computer
May 24, 2007 by Rob.
I was pricing out the computer tonight and it’s $$$. About $750. I guess spending 10% of the project $ on the computer is inline with my expectations, but…
Here is what I’m considering:
- Case, Power Supply & Board: I like this board b/c it has the flash slot & PC card built-in. It also has a fan
- 7″ touch screen: this display seems like a good mix with the best mounting options
- PicoLCD display: this would be the main UI for the driver
- 512 MB RAM, 2 to 4 MB Flash
- Wireless N (external range extending antenna)
- USB GPS

As of May 23, 2007, any Austin Energy customer who has purchased a newly converted electric vehicle or who has completed a conversion themselves may apply to receive up to a $250.00 rebate from Austin Energy. This groundbreaking move matches the efforts that Central Texas Clean Cities and Austin Energy have made in supporting production, neighborhood and low speed electric vehicles, scooters and bicycles.
