just thought id see if anybody on here has attempted or would be interested in trying to convert their celi to an electric car. our car would be perfect for a electric conversion because of its light weight. i think it would be cool just because it would be unique and all the extra money youd save on gas, oil, repairs/replacements, etc. plus, electric motors have a lot of benefits over gas engines: they produce maximum torque at zero rpm, deliver their peak power over broad rpm range (in other words a 100hp rated em would beat a 100hp rated ice), only one moving part, no shifting needed, can be surged with current to produce many times their rated power for limited time, can use regen braking to help save energy and decrease load on brakes, etc. anyways just thought id throw it out there. theres a lot of tuner potential, and with li-ion batterys and integration of a ultracapacitor pack would make it pretty damn fast, not to mention the sexiest ev on the road
 . heres a few sitesthis one shows a production ev that can hit 0-60 in under 4 seconds tzero another 4 sec ev tango ac propulsion systems ac This post has been edited by celicaST: Aug 5, 2005 - 10:47 AM --------------------  I think Bigfoot is blurry, that's the problem. It's not the photographer's fault. Bigfoot is blurry. And that's extra scary to me, because there's a large, out-of-focus monster roaming the countryside. |

^ there not gana save you much on gas, hybrids only get milage in the 30's thats not good.
I think that if the gas runs out I would much rather convert my celica to electric then by an electric, just because the electric cars I have seen look way to alian, I dont know why they cant make one look like a car. If have heard of collage students (for a school project) have got regular motors to get up to 100 miles per gallon, although they have lost a lot of hp, still thats pretty incredible, I'll hunt down the link. there is just so much money in the gas market that I think the major car companies are to scared to give them the finger by building and selling a better car. QUOTE Tango I look forward to seeing the crash test with that one, you would get so owned if a f350 hit you head on. This post has been edited by creis: Aug 1, 2005 - 12:14 AM --------------------  |
