I had posted this in the ebay section but want to put it here before I plan this trip.

Heres the deal:

Im dismantling 3 solectria step vans, with as few as 1400 miles. These were converted at the factory and were well kept.

for 3200 you would get EVERYTHING! charger, motor, invertor. guages, etc, the motors are 78kw rated.

Once I have 2 buyers, I will have my guy remove the parts and prep them for shipping. If you live on the east coast, delivery is a possibility.

Let me know, this deal needs to happen fast if its going to happen

Im still learning about evs and dont understand it all yet. I have a VW bus that I am looking to convert, would this set up work? Also can the charger be somehow converted so I could plug it into 120 or even 30amp outlet (like an RV uses) ?

 

[todayican]

I would say the Solectria would be damn near perfect for the VW van!
Ill leave it up to smarter guys then me to answer the 120 / 240 question. (Im interested in knowing it myself)

I will say this though, I had a 240 outlet installed not long ago for a hot tub, it was like $120 not too much.

I have the dryer outlet at home that could be used. But I can also charge at work with 120 and............ I plan on towing the VW 4 down behind my RV but would need to charge it when on the road from my generator, or hook it up somehow to my 24 volt alternator (I have a 6v92 detroit diesel, the BIG one in my RV) maybe with an inverter, and be able to charge it when parked at a campground which almost always has 30amp outlets.

 

[todayican]

Getting it down to 120, Im still waiting on a solution, it should be fairly straightforward, running an inverter from those huge alternators, my guess is no prob, Ive seen a lot of truckers running ac units and even microwave ovens with inverters.

I have entertained a few inquiries, it looks like were close to having 2 solid buyers on this, its a super deal, it would be great to wrap this up today

I found a step up inverter to use with my regular household inverter off the alternator....... this solves part of the problem. I would still need to be able to charge it from time to time off my Onan 3500 generator that will actually be in the VW.

 

[todayican]

Dumb question, but check the Gen, it may have a 240 outlet?

 

[happycamper]

No it doesnt I sent you a PM though about shipping cuz I live in California and that might be a problem..... I may be able to wire the step up inverter into both the generator and the alternator, but have some kind of an easy disconnect from the alternator for when I want to cruise around in the VW without the RV

 

[todayican]

I did a quick UPS lookup on the heaviest object, the motor itself, its roughly 150 lbs and would cost $145 from Mass to LA California all the parts shouldent cost more then 500 to ship, and thats a quick look at UPS, ill work with the buyers to get as good a deal as possible and prep and deliver the parts to the terminal in Mass.

400 is a fair guess in my opinion.

(1 still left!) Re: Complete Solectria Drive Systems! ($3200, charger included)

One of the California buyers had to pass, that leaves one complete drive package up for grabs!

 

[happycamper]

The wishy washy California buyer went for it! Thank you Todayican (love the handle)
