No thanks.... I admit I have looked at the currently available /soon to be available options, and right now they are all a little too pricey, but my hope is I can do it myself in the next year for < $7k. We will see how much battery I can get for that price, in the mean time, research and development is the name of the game. I appreciate all those who have already shared so much of their knowledge, definitely gives me a good start! If anyone else is already actively working on this, please let me know (I have already been in contact with a few of you off line, and do appreciate the help.)
Right now my wife and I are trying to train ourselves to get better mileage from the stock FEH, it has been a real struggle. The previous owner averaged around 22mpg (no joke) but they also put 10k miles on the truck in 2 months. Now that we rescued it, we are babying it back up to where it should be!
