How Many Options Will Em Be Offering??

It is but I remember someone saying "automotive battery" rather than motorcycle battery.

Here's another picture. You can't see the battery itself. But you can see how small the space is into which it's crammed. And I'm pretty sure "motorcycle battery" is correct, but I'm going from memory on that, so it's fallible.

Note to self: Contact EM and ask what Alternator output is rated at; and Amp hours on battery.

Got it

A motorcycle battery is what the Polaris Slingshot has also. I see some have complained about it, but doesn'the seem to be a heavy hitter as far as what the complaints are for that vehicle.

Nobody in his right mind will be trying to start (or ride) a Slingshot when it's 10 below zero! But the Elio will have to start then, and I'd just as soon have some extra cranking power. I'd pay extra for a beefier battery if there were a place to put it.

What I get from that picture is this:

"I can see the battery cable and below the...Holy origami, Batman, look at that hood prop rod!"

Oh, and the fuel gauge... must be the "external dash".

I can tell you why the 'external dash" is there, because I asked about it in Detroit in January. When they haul the car into the hall at these big shows, the battery must be disconnected. But the fire inspector may still make his rounds, and they have to be able to show him (or her) that there is only a minimal amount of fuel in the vehicle. Hence the extra fuel gauge.

Hope this scratches that particular itch!

If they could straighten out the prop rod they'd probably save 1/2 pound in weight!

Lol... I actually knew that. I was taking a jab at another thread title called "interior dash"

Ty, you've been on a roll all day today; sounds like you're in a really great mood.
The move must have done a lot of good!
