Hello,
I"m considering A DIY EV or a buying a BEV.
If I had 50 mile range I could get off of petroleum 4 days a week.
If I could get 70 mile range I could be petroleum free most weekends.
What DIY conversion threads Do folks recommend I read.
Car has not been chosen yet. 1 seats, minimum. Most of that driving is solo.
It looks like i can buy that with a used Ford Focus EV or Smart Car EV. ($6,000-10,000) So the conversion needs to be cheaper than that and worth the hassle.
I'm a professional fabricator and long time shade tree mechanic.
Not sure if I should do a ground up conversion or make a hybrid plugin and upgrade the range???
What DIY conversion threads Do folks recommend I read???
THANKS FOR CREATING SUCH A GREAT RESOURCE!
