I am working on a small van with a few other guys. We were talking about
kits but not sure yet, maybe only turn-key. It is made in the USA,
high-power NEV/LSEV with 60 cu ft/1500 lb capacity. Multiple battery and
drive options. Attempting under $20K before incentives. Prototype roller
is complete, test driving this summer.
Hi Gary,
Sounds like a good project. What size van?
Note that if it's classified as NEV/LSEV, there will be states where it
can't be used. Last I knew, my own state of MN specifically bans
"NEV/LSEV conversions and home built vehicles.".
A project I'm thinking of is a hybrid conversion of a pickup or van with
read wheel drive. Add the electric motor to the drive shaft. Use a motor
and controller that allows regen. This could add EV short range and low
speed capability to the typical gas-hog American pickups.
