A380, E380 380 the term is an International trademark of Airbus It is not legal for ZAP Jonway to keep calling this vehicle the 380. In fact in China they call it the UFO by Jonway. One of these days Zap Jonway is going to be smacked by a trademark /patent infringement lawsuit.

Look down the page to “Comparing Battery Types”.

I’ve used up two sets of golf cart batteries. I got seven years out of one set, eight out of the other. That’s with daily cycling to (usually) less than 80% capacity.

Living in hot Florida, I don’t think I’ve ever had a lead acid car battery last more than 5 years. The ones in the APC(computer backup) rarely last more than three and its climate controlled. I’d like to know the type that lasted 15 years.

Zap Jonway?! Zapped the Wong Way? Just had to try.

That’s so cool he has lead acid batteries. I had thought the whole reason Elon Musk was doing swappable batteries was to fix any flaws the batteries may have in the next eight years because lithium-ion’s have no track record. Using lead acid batteries in these zapper cars is a fantastic idea minimizing risk.
