My guess is that we can keep it well under $200 in volume production.</div></span><div><br></div><div>I will send you a BOM and maybe your friends in Hong Kong could quote :-)</div><div><br></div><span id="OLK_SRC_BODY_SECTION"><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space;">Personally, I think the increased functionality is worth paying for and I don’t think 200 USD would stop many people from using OVMS/GEVCU when you consider dual-CAN, BT, WiFI, lots memory, flash, Android, etc. etc.</div></span><div><br></div><div>I also think sharing a common hardware platform would bring huge benefits in terms of future cost reductions, support, and development.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-family: 'helvetica neue'; font-size: medium;">Kevin Sharpe | Founder & Patron | Zero Carbon World is a UK Registered Charity #1141347</span></div></body></html>
