In reply to Craig Murdock. Hi Craig, I purchased everything in stages. The batteries themselves were $4 per KG, the BMS was easily the most expensive part coming in around $1000. However, you don't want to skimp on safety! All up I think I have spent about $2K.

Mr. Black, what was the final cost? I am wanting to build one as well but the cost of doing it is holding me back.

Any updates on part 3? Thinking of doing this myself, where did you research everything from?
