Hi guys,
I really want to get into EVs and do it pretty cheaply. I was thinking of picking up a Electrica with a GE 9" motor. Basically these are ideas:
SLA batteries are completely shot so I'd figure out someway of converting it to lithium(hopefully cheaply with like a used Leaf pack??)
Also...the batteries are 100% shot, what would be the best way to test the electronics to make sure the controller and motor work?
Comes with a 9" DC series wound...claims 40hp. Would it be possible to get more peak power out of it, nothing crazy but at least a tad zippy? Guy said it has a new controller so maybe that can be a source there?
Not a daily driver...just a project car. I'm both electrically and mechanically inclined so I don't see this as a huge deal.
What do you guys think?
