Feb 2020: Bought a Tesla/Mercedes battery pack. 1996 chevy s-10 conversion (part 2). For anyone who has not been following along, I thought I would summarize the progress to date. Jan 2020: Bought my donor vehicle, a 1996 chevy S-10. Originally rated at 36kwh in 12x 7s modules.

Theres a company in Guernsey (a UK island) which does conversions (the Mk1 shape), but I want a current shape model and a 60 mile range is just fine. Mercedes please take note. ↓ ↑ report 11 MarkT 1:31AM (4/26/2009) Could someone hurry up and start selling these please! A Smart/Tesla combo sounds fantastic for the commute.

Reply ↓ ↑ report 6 CaramelZappa 3:20AM (4/23/2009) Yea, you COULD convert a lotus for $10k but the conversion wouldnt be terribly satisfying. link] This guy has a very nice looking conversion, he managed to do it for about 25k. Not to mention the parts you most definitely could sell from the running gear. Its a Lotus.

i would like to see maybe Smith America build a conversion of their current cars, maybe have a retrofit model so you dont have to get rid of the trucks at all, just upgrade! lots of stops and starts so plenty of options for regen braking too.

Third, I dont understand why people feel it available in message chatting to speak in a manner they would doubtless not use in personal conversation. Second, the statement "the rest of your claims" are unanswerably indistinct. Must you say "incredibly idiotic" and "mind numbingly dumb"? It does not reflect well upon you.
