saturn

Hello everyone, I’m new here, and I’d like to share an idea. I do have a lot of knowledge on internal combustion engines, but I still lack on electric alternatives. The vehicle in question is a 2009 Saturn Vue Redline, weights around 4000lb and has a 260hp 3.6l engine that goes from 0-60 in 6.8...

I'm waiting for my EV America order (ADC 9" motor, Curtis 1231C controller, etc.) and working out how to mount the motor on my 96 Saturn SC2. If you have a Saturn (or just more experience than I do, which isn't hard), I'd appreciate your advice. To get the engine out, I dropped the whole...

Hey, everyone! I'm new to this forum and new to DIY conversion, but I've been keeping an eye on electric vehicles and other alternatives for a long time. Now that we're "comfortable" with $3.50/gallon here in NWA (Northwest Arkansas) I've decided it would be economically feasible to build one...
