I've been reading, researching, and planning for a long time. I picked up a '95 Eagle Talon AWD in April of 2012. Its not the 'best' candidate for an EV, but I like the style, the AWD, and the aerodynamics (0.29 Cd). The 2.0L turbo is very snappy once it spools up. I did some power comparisons in this thread and decided on the K11-250 motor. The Soliton 1 followed right behind it. Batteries are still up in the air, but the plan is 60Ah to 90Ah Sinopolies or CALB greys. Voltage will probably start around 160 for preliminary tests and then work up to 300V for the final design. It should yield about 160kW at about 6C (with the 90Ah). I could push the 60Ah harder, but I'll see how things evolve.
My blog is evtalon.blogspot.ca and I will be trying to keep that up-to-date as possible. I've been going through all the mechanical and have just started on the conversion. So far, I've pulled the engine, dropped the exhaust and separated the transmission.
