    Let's call this a semi-commitment and try to limit chit chat about financial benefits or whatever. If you're interested mark "YES" and post your name on the list. If you're not say "No".

    No, but only because I don't have access to a power outlet where I park my car. Otherwise I'd be all for it.

    Nope, we're pretending we're putting it together today.....let's say it has to be completed in 2 weeks. So you're in or out...you can wait 2 weeks to answer, but then it's dead.

    Evan,

    This is a most interesting speculative venture.

    Is my memory correct; is the charger 220-230v AC?

    Is there something significant about $6500?

    Other than Yes/No, I wold think a poll with ranges of prices, say $500
    increments between $5K and $7K would better indicate a readiness to buy.

    Me? I'm straddling the fence, right now a definite maybe.

    Yeah, I know, Read The D*** Directions.

    Yes. I have my deposit down already. Any savings >$75 and I'll cancel it and join the group buy. The hymotion conversion is far from perfect and far too expensive to be cost-effective, but I'm in despite that.

    who would do the install? or is that included in the $6,500??? Right now we're doing an addition to the house, yes, a GREEN addition with solar and a wind turbine, so that's the drain into which my discretionary income is being poured right now..........

    Hymotion would do the install with that price. They would probably still add the $400 destination fee to the cost.

    I am a YES to the group buy. Any idea on how many people we should get onboard before we check if this is a possibility with Hymotion? edit....I'm guessing that we would use the poll results at the end of the two weeks for our proposal.

    Yes! @ $6,500... DEFINITELY! I'm in New Hampshire, and 2hr North of Boston. So the Boston install location would be IDEAL for me!

    Yes!

    I just did some electrical wiring to the front of my garage for an EBH, so I'd be good to go! (Yes, I back in my car every day :) )

    Count me as a Yes, however, installers are not listed for Florida.
