I'm a retired vintage car restorer and have one last car I want to convert to electric. A 1949 Riley Roadster. I'm looking to give it nice power with at least a 250 Km range. Any help, thoughts or prayers would be welcomed. Jorgen.

I have an electrical issue with a Delta-Q Quiq charger that won`t charge 6 GEL batteries that are used in a 2004’ GEM E825 golf cart. I think the problem lies in the wiring. There are a bunch of wires that need to be connected in order to charge the batteries. The Delta Q charger is a 72V charger and had 8 wires as output. 1 Red wire (Battery +). 1 Black wire (Battery -). 1 Green wire(Interlock to prevent driving when charging). 1 White wire (temperature sensor). 2 Wires (HUD Led output). 2.

Just a short question. I've got the Lynch LEM 200-D135 Motor and searching for a controller. I think a good one would be Alltrax SPM 48600 because there was this pdf on the lynch website that i found --> [link]. However i cant seem to find any place to buy this controller. And i searched a lot on the internet for this controller (mby one of you guys knows where i could buy one of these?).

Orion 168 (Original). I am looking to take baby steps here. I have hooked up power and ground only, verified I can communicate with my laptop via the CANdapter. Now I need to upload the settings need for my 8 LG Chem 44 volt batteries. I am planning on tapping in to each cell manually and then connecting each battery individually to make sure each battery is recognized by itself (after triple checking with my multimeter of coarse).

I can send a video of a bench test of the motor running if needed. The Soliton Jr retails for $1,899 alone so this is a good bundle, and great to drop into a bunch of different applications.

New project! I have been asked to convert a farm tractor to electric. The tractor is a Russell 3-D tool carrier with hydrostatic drive. It is a 1970's 'improvement' on the David Brown 2-D which is similar to the Allis Chalmers G type tractor. This one has a dead ICE and I am yet to see it. The farming couple chose it thinking the hydrostatic drive would make it easier to convert as the motor can run continuously just pumping oil.

Hi, I'm Rick. I live here in Sun City Az. I have a 76 triumph spitfire with no engine but do have a T9 5 speed trany for it. I'm trying to decide if I was to go with another gas engine or turn it into a electric car. If I go gas it will probably cost me $2000 or so. I was hoping someone would give my an idea of the cost of going electric. Around town here it is flat terran.

This project started just over a year ago and has been slow going but bit by bit I am making progress. I am going to slowly post all the work on it and catch anybody interested up. This was the car as I bought it. Wasn't running but for what I had planned. I got a steal for sub 1k. Oddly before pulling anything apart I fixed the motor first.

Hi all, I am beginning an EV conversion with a mini cooper from the early 2000s (I'm still trying to choose which year I want but I know it's going to be a model from 2002 - 2010) and I'm trying to make my first purchase for either one or two potentiometers. I've heard that it's good to use two potentiometers because it can be a safety to a faulty potentiometer giving a false reading to the controller, since both potentiometers must have the same readings for any power to be sent.

Build progress. 3D printed parts are in hand, look great. Only issue is the dimensions are slight smaller due to ABS shrinkage. So I'm having to bore and smooth the cell connections out, and slightly enlarge the copper plate paths. Certainly not show stoppers by any means. Next battery will have revised designed to allow more space for this issue. FDM 3D printing is somewhat of an art vs CNC.

Greetings -. I am located in Central Pennsylvania and have lately been drawn to EV conversions and EVs due to moving farther from work (yea, dumb - I know!) and by the recent re-evaluation by the EPA on CARB requirements regarding aftermarket performance parts and legality on our streets. If the law changes the game regarding ICEs - change power plants!

So I bought a Sterling kit car and what I want to do, eventually, is turn it to electric. It had been sitting for the past decade so I'm going to replace the full brake system (going all disc) as well as switching it from a swing axle to IRS (pan is a 1966.). I acquired a 1st Gen Nissan Leaf motor, transmission, inverter, and much of the wiring harnesses to them.

Hi all, I'm a serious newbie, and am embarking on my first ev conversion (of a very tired old Triumph Spitfire) here in the UK. Can anyone explain to me in simple terms why most conversions keep the gearbox and use an adapter plate to bolt on the electric motor ? I get that it's probably simpler for alignment etc., but also extra weight and a bit redundant given the torque of an electric motor ?

I have posted here before with a different VW kit car build which was a 72v Wilderness EV kit in a Bentley kit body roadster. At that time I was using Trojan 12v LA batteries. Pretty straight forward and easy build. Recently I purchased another VW kit car that has from what I can tell a pretty complete set up. The body and chassis are trashed but I have another VW kit car that I'm thinking about using it in.

I have an extra b2200 laying around and looking into potentially converting it into electric. After seeing this video on youtube. I've decided I want to take this idea and run with it. I have already been reading around on various forums and know I'm going to get alot of flak for wanting to do it this way. I like I because it re uses half the original engine and maintains stock motor/transmission mounts.

My engine is (or was) externally balanced. Meaning there's counterweights on the flywheel to balance the engine components and prevent vibrations etc. Of course this isn't needed with an electric motor since there's no combustion. Should I grind off these tiny weights? They can't possibly weigh more than a few hundred grams. Also if I were to keep them would it create issues?

Hi everyone, It has been a while since I last posted. Some of you may remember my previous projects which were budget minded autocross centred EVs. Since then our governing body has closed the gate on EVs and there is no glimmer of hope for the foreseeable future for electric vehicles under them. So my last chassis is going into retirement. I am commencing a new project which will enable me to continue my EV journey on public streets.

With the technology that the automotive industry has today, it is not surprising to see cars out performing records on an annual basis. Over the years, we were made to believe that petrol is the best option to run cars. However, modern engineering has been able to change this notion by introducing the fastest electric cars. Why make electric cars? Electric cars in the long run can be cheaper.
