Out of curiosity how many kilometers do you get on a single charge? Also where did you get all the parts to do this conversion?

Cool Car

Ha! No, I'd make it to Aldergrove, maybe. That's where my party would have to be!

I have yet to fully test the range. Right now in winter the range is reduced quite a bit because of cold batteries and heater use, although my heater isn't very powerful and doesn't do that much to reduce range. The furthest I have driven so far is 15 km and there was still lots left. I am expecting a max range of 30 km in summer. Since this was a low budget conversion, total range reflects that. If I actually needed lots of range, I could have dropped $10K on a beautiful lithium battery pack to get me 3 times as far.

Parts were bought all over the place. The motor is a used forklift motor from an EV conversion company. Motor controller, vacuum pump, volt gauges, etc. from eBay. Wiring and stuff from a local hardware store. Some specialty parts from cloudelectric.com.

Sorry...I had the engine on Craigslist since I removed the engine from the car. When people found out that it had 281000 km (175000 mi) on it, they quickly hung up! I had to clean the garage, so I scrapped it. I kept a piston as a souvenir if you want that.
