What happened to the their EV sound similar to what happened to my S-10 Blazer EV conversion (after 15 years, I was in the wrong place at the wrong time). The vehicle was not worth repairing but all the EV guts were still good.
I was able to sell the whole wrecked EV to a couple of men who said they were converting a light truck to daily commute between Campbell, up over the Santa Cruz (~2000') mountains down to Santa Cruz (near the Pacific Ocean. Here's a map http://goo.gl/maps/SmDWH ). It may be about ~30 miles as the crow flies but is about 55+ miles worth of energy. I suggested a higher voltage design than mine, and to include a j1772 adapter to use with one of my six on-board chargers. So somewhere out there, is a conversion still driving on my 15 year old EV parts. % EVs are like Mom's ol' Maytag washer, they just keep going, and going, and ... % ... Similar to the above, anyone considering doing a conversion near Seattle, WA may want to check-out this wrecked conversion (below). It may have many if not all the parts you will need to build your own EV conversion. Contact them (below) and see what works for you. {brucedp.150m.com} - On Sun, Feb 17, 2013, at 08:11 AM, [email protected] wrote: > At All German Auto Wrecking in south Seattle, there is a 1981 red VW > truck > EV conversion that has been wrecked beyond repair.
