Electric Quad Project.

DIY Electric Car

I am leaning towards a golf cart or forklift motor. She love to hunt, and fish, but as her decease has progressed it has become increasingly more difficult for her to take part in these activities. The quadrunner has been stripped of everything ICE, and I have retained what electrical will be needed for lights etc.

2022 GMC Hummer EV: the biggest, baddest, butchest EV to hit the market?

Charged EVs

Before Tesla, they were seen as nerdy golf carts, far from usable as “real cars.” Back in the day, the original Hummer H1 was a military vehicle with a light veneer of consumer comfort. The Hummer wasn’t the first of GM’s new Ultium EVs to get the green light for production. Jaw-dropping specs. The 34-month project.

Porsche 914 EV Conversion

I saved the latch cable tube and latch mechanism to give to Craig at camp914 as parts for someone else. It's a pity that we have to remove this, but the size of the golf-cart batteries clearly interfere with the latch.
