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.

Would also be interested to hear the results of your research! As I posted recently, I'm looking for a way to get my Celica under the ULEZ emissions threshold. And fully electric would obviously achieve that...
@slavie I could probably personally live with a range of 100miles if that was achievable. I'm sure that would be a feat to accomplish still though. |
