Hii guys,

I need your advice for combination of composites material that can provide a several purpose below on 1-2mm thickness: 
  1. Light (30-50% than steel)
  2. Stiff (no tik tok)
  3. Cheap (as cheap as good)
This structure criteria is for electric car exterior body such as Hood, Doors, Trunks, fender, spoiler. this car will passion to reducing weight and increasing performance. And segmented for midle-low customer budget, hard to say  that the carbon fiber is not an option. Is there any body have a advice? example: biaxial fiber glass+lantorsoric+biaxial+vinyl ester.



Your help are necessary.

Isn't sheetmetal the most suitable for this application, seeing your demands?
sheetmetal would be the heaviest considering the car have a limited electric power supply, it means we need to reduce much more weight to increase the car performance (long life battery, more speed) what do you think?.
