I am an ordinary guy who needs an electric car. I have a short commute to work and only do short journeys at the week end. Also I am too cheap to spend $35K + on a Chevy Volt or Nissan leaf.
So I have decided to convert an old car to an electric car. Let the journey commence!

Hi,
I found out where the battery tray bolt was, in the wheel arc? So I removed that, the serpentine belt and AC unit. Also I scrouged from work some baby 12V sealed rechargable batteries which were going to be recycled. but still have some charge. I think I will be able to use them to test the system some way.
I am now reading up on building my own desulfator just for fun. I found some info on the web and it should be fun.
