This EV conversion is going to be used in a 1987 GM Panel truck with an estimated weight of 10,000lbs. (See photos attached to the opening post). This is because the larger motor uses a face plate which is very similar in design and the output shaft has the same diameter. For that reason we used the Low gear Planetary Set with a 2.84

Neutral Templarian @ Apr 19th 2009 4:30PM Good to hear, hopefully GM has already started to use this for the Volt. The 8900 Curve has micro USB. and Lord knows how many people on boards bemoan that it does not have a "standard mini-USB" Neutral ConceptVBS @ Apr 20th 2009 12:11AM Scratch Samsung off the list as well. In a word, no.

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.

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. The first one was the Zytek design you mentioned, but this is a 2nd "new and improved" design from Tesla, with more power, higher speed and greater range.

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. (25)
