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.

This will be quite interesting to see! I've never thought of full EV conversion; but I was totally thinking about some sort of hybrid system. Idea would to have EV converted hub motor's for the rear. Make it both hybrid and "AWD" lol.
Of course you'll have to worry about how the system work together though. |
