Open Source Civic EV Kit

APRIL 7, 2008

After spending the past year and a half converting a Porsche 914 to an electric vehicle, I decided to expand my horizons by designing an open-source electric vehicle (EV) conversion kit for a commonly used car. The Saturn came up a distant second, but everyone agreed that the Civic was the best.

Porsche 914 EV Conversion

MARCH 20, 2007

First up was removing the rear portion of the exhaust system, shown here next to my trusty 34mpg 1994 Saturn. Someone else converted a '94 Saturn Wagon to an EV, but I'll keep mine!) My only concern is that I'll be taking the flywheel for the EV conversion. Here is the removed transmission. Next up: Clutch and flywheel removal.

Porsche 914 EV Conversion

About a month ago, I sold my old '94 gasoline Saturn wagon and purchased an '03 Subaru Outback. I'm glad to see Ross Cunniff and Matt Kneipper get their AC 914 conversions on the road as well. The electrical plug-in station at work has been lonely over the past few months and I'll be psyched to get the car back on the road.
