Over a year ago we posted about our new concept for battery exchange. After many hours of months of hard work, we are now at a successfully working prototype. You can see our car drive for the time HERE! Our Video! This fall, we plan on driving the car across the country to showcase the car...

Ready to ride converted all electric with a professional ElectroAutomotive VoltsRabbit kit. Plug in the electric cord where the gas used to go in the car. Charge time is roughly 7 hrs for a dead battery (18 6V FLA's). Did I mention you can pre-heat or cool the car while it's plugged in? And...

Your skill level with auto mechanics and fabrication: Medium, I know how to buy raw materials from home depot and turn them into hinges/platforms/etc. I know how to crimp and solder and keep myself from getting electrocuted. The range you are hoping to get (how many miles/charge) 40 miles /...

Hi. We are a small group of engineers and EV enthusiasts, working out of our garage, that have converted a 2004 VW Golf into an electric vehicle. But our EV is a little different than others... We are using this as a proof of concept to illustrate the modular battery exchange concept. Instead of...

Hi! Nice to meet everyone! I have a beautifully converted 1968 Electric Karmann Ghia for sale. The conversion was done with optimal ingenuity, eliminating a need for both an alternator and clutch. It features a 4 Speed clutchless transmission and is powered by a FB1-4001-A Series Advanced DC...

I have a sweet 1969 VW bug that I have been restoring and converting to electric drive. But, alas, life has other plans for me and I am not going to be able to finish it. It's a perfect conversion project for anyone interested in building a DIY electric vehicle. It includes all the necessary...

I'm planning my first EV conversion! Here in Santa Cruz, old Volkswagens are a dime a dozen so I figure one of those is ideal for my first time. From what I can tell it'll be a fairly straightforward conversion from a mechanical standpoint, which is great for me as my knowledge/experience is...

Hi everyone! I've been lurking around the forums for a while, and I guess it's time to make a post. I'm planning to convert my Scirocco sometime this summer (once I've built up my bank account a little bit...). I wouldn't say I've got much hands on experience in the auto mechanics /...

I have been thinking about converting my Rabbit into a greener car! I was thinking about Bio-Diesel or Hybrid but then I saw the Tesla Roadster and realized that EV's have come a long way! Ok so this is what I am wanting: at least 100 miles per charge at least 75 mph and possibly a full charge...

Hi folks, I have been reading and studying EV Lists and Web Sites for six months now, but the more I read, the more confusing it seems to get. I am probably overthinking this, so I would love to hear some real-world experiences. I already have the Bug. It has 44HP which is enough for my daily...

Hi all, I'm upgrading the controller in my '69 VW Type-1 to a Soliton1. I have an ADC 8" motor and 45 cell 90AH Thundersky pack. I'm considering mounting the controller on the "parcel shelf" (behind the back seat) under a perspex shield. This would mean that the controller->motor cables would...

So I have decided to do an electric conversion on a 1969 Bajabug, I have no idea what I am doing, and everything I know I learned from spending too much time on the internet looking at other conversions. :rolleyes: So I figured I would go ahead and start this thread to document my...

I have had this thing for 6 years now, and it has been a riot. Its the kind of car that you can drive around at 5mph and still have fun (doing stupid stuff in a parking lot). I now want to convert it to an electric. Skill: I am just above average with auto mechanics, I can remove and install...

Hello! I'm very new to the world of EV conversions and car mechanics in general. Basically, I've ridden bicycles my whole life while waiting for the day that I could afford a practical planet friendly vehicle. Well I'm now 30 and tired of waiting, so that's what brings me here. For a donor...

as recommended Your skill level with auto mechanics and fabrication Auto Mechanics: High (classic VW only), I've built other VWs from ground up to exacting stock specs and to mild street customs. Fabrication: Mid. I can fabricate frames and weld body panels, but I'm not a machinist. The...
