I'm looking at converting my 73 VW bug into an EV. Anyone know of plans or
a kit, or at least a good discussion of what it would take. It's a
learning-experience project. I would like to find a motor that would mate
to the current transaxle, if possible, but am open to other methods.

I am new to the list, but I would like to ask a question:
I am considering converting my carbureted car (1980 Trans AM, 1970 400) to
run on E85.
What are the drawbacks?
What are the advantages?
What fuel mixture is correct? (I have read 9:1 A/F ratio)
What sort of issues do I need to

Following the series of postings about hydro-sorb and other hygroscopic
preparations, I found one called soil moist in my local garden centre.
Full of optimism I immediately set up an experiment. Three glass jars:
*one with water
*one with 0.81 sg ethanol
*one with a mix of petrol
It gets worse:
*Adding the swollen soil moist peas from the water test to neat
ethanol saw them shrink to sand again in a matter of minutes as the water
was sucked out.
*Putting the ethanol test jar in the freezer made no difference
*Putting the ethanol test jar in a hot water bath

Hi Art and All,
Many bugs were made into Ev's in the 70's/ 80's
and the adapter plates, coulpers are still for sale
used cheap if you look for them or you can make your

batteries are best bet for a good low tech EV. Don't
use aircraft
