So I have been thinking... I have a car that works but one day I know it will not. And I think I’m going to start saving up for a full electric conversion. The car is right in range for weight, and by time I make the battery purchases the technology and affordability will be there. I have the shell and that’s a huge battle. I found a company that attaches the motor to the stock tranny, and you get everything you need. The have a kit for an mr2. It’s ambitious but I think it’s going to be a huge and fun project. And it will give me the power I think this car deserves. I’ll follow up after some further thought and research.

It’s going to be a long process because of the funding. But I’m looking for around 150 miles a charge, and just be able to use it as a daily driver. I love the economic sense of reusing a car and using electricity to be a cleaner source of energy. I’m not trying to race it by any means. Again I’m in a research and save point right now. But if I come up with anything or find new technologies to make it a safer or better project I will share anything I find.
