Its that time again, The next meeting for the Suncoast EVA will be September 6th, 2008 at 10 am at Black Bay Technologies.
We now have another club project! We have a Volkswagon Jetta primed and ready for conversion to electric! The car was delivered this morning to Black Bay. The car is running with 186,000 miles. We will have fun removing the evil ICE and other ICE parts. The next meeting will be for all of us to put our heads together and figure the best way to get this car converted to nice clean zero emission electricity. Cornelius is ready to have us help him put in a small window unit air conditioner in his S-10. We will also evaluate if the Jetta would be best suited for this as well. My vote is to remove all ICE components, even the air conditioning and go ALL electric but that's for all of us to decide what is best for the Jetta. Cornelius has already added a 3000 watt inverter to run the air conditioner. Preliminary tests indicate only a 4 amp draw at 560 watts. not much at all. Anyone need to get in touch with me feel free to call me at 813-465-9957 anytime. Look forward to seeing everyone at the next meeting!
