I have a 99 Saturn SL and I want to convert it to electric but I'm a complete NOOB on this and also plan on mayby upgrading a few times after it's road Worthy. I live in the southern Seattle area if that helps any.

Oh and I'm a door dash driver and am currently driving a 2013 Ford fusion energi and I'm not very pleased with a 25mi EV range.

I've always worked on my own ice engines so I do have a decent amount of knowledge with gas but not much with EV however I am somewhat familiar with electrical work.

Welcome to the board. Sorry Im no help on suggestions for your build, but when you start working on it and you will find out which motor controller you will use, PM me if you decide to go with Sevcon Gen4 Size 6 controller, I got some brand new units I could hook you up at a low price.


PS. I know I dont have much rep on here yet, so If you would like we can complete the transaction on Ebay. I have already sold some on there and currently have one for sale.

Good luck.
