1989 Ford Festiva EV! 100% all electric vehicle car

[MrBry329]

question because i am in the process of doing mines,why cant you just use a jump charger to charge the batteries,200 amp charger its a black pull around used for chargering and quick start. instead of those small chargers.

greak work... did the meter box is a lunch box?

[lancerevogolfmk1]

why do you spend that money to put it in the first place.?? Also to charge the batteries takes a lot of electricity. and the car is no longer safe and you can't get anyone inside. it's gone backwards.

[youtuubbguy66]

Are you using ultra capacitors? It gives you better acceleration and save your batteries literaly. Acceleration kills the battery charge and life too. Now that we have ultra capacitors, the acceleration and decelaration (when using induction brakes) is more efficient on many aspects.

nice! how much?

[haroldvideos]

your car looks like brand new

[jawbraeka]

@haroldvideos cut and polish does wonders

[datzfast]

did you say it had an ejection seat that will launch you a thousand feet?

[panoulis20]

greak work but i dont see why you used this type of batteries as they are heavy and dangerous,i am not refering to the acid that you are carrying behind your seat but if something goes wrong these batteries blow up like granades , are you sure about that choise

great work but i dont see why you used this type or batteries as they are heavy and dangerous, they blow up like granades if something goes wrong

[anewlow23]

Where did you get your cut off switch/deadman switch?

[PlagueZuluhed]

what size or kind of motor/engine does it have in it, and where is it in the car?

[coshyno]

electric sucks

[GottaBeArtsy]

you are so toast if you get in an accident. How does that acid react with flesh? I'll walk thanks

[kdkinen]

is it easier with a standard trans ??

[taydigidy]

good job man if only everyone could be so creative.. its ashame that gas cars still exist, see how one man can do this? think of what a multi billion dollar car company can make...

[jdoggybizzle]

profit.

[280ZedX]

This is an excellent job. Thing is, if he gets into a horrific collision (god forbid), he would be covered in battery acid from both sides.

[tabletop45]

not to mention, the other car would most likely be gas powered, so a collison could ignite the acid, make a big explosion

[datzfast]

@tabletop45 batteries only explode in electic cars. the oil company make sure it has never happeded in a gas car.

[Nimbly]

You should hook some solar panels to the roof. That way it will charge when your at work.

[Nimbly]

What about a heater? No engine, no cooling system, no cooling system no heater core?

[280ZedX]

He probably lives in Florida somewhere.

[rush442]

i bet ya that thing wont pull a greasy string out of a cats ass i mean they get like 53mpg whats the point?

[evric2008]

Don't you usually fix the rust first then paint the car?

[2528997]

What do you do when it's raining?

[imacrazydude9999999]

it's plenty safe, it's an Alltrax controller and I've been buzzed with 72 volts and it's nothing. at least put electrical tape over it or something though

[AlamoCityCello]

It's not safe

[ctopheroh]

High Voltage in the passenger compartment? That doesn't seem safe.

[Maxxlagg]

Maybe, but there is no vehicle inspection in Nebraska,ha ha.

[tartman86]

Thanks. Its people like that who just dont understand the principle behind it. Id like to see him build an electric vehicle. The guys at the DMV thought it was awesome, as does everyone that looks at it.

[aarontell]

Cool car. Great video. Any helpful websites you care to share on such conversion-related info? I to have a Festiva I am hoping to convert. Thanks!

[tartman86]

There are lots of them. I would suggest reading some electrical engineering books, and buying the parts seperatley off of EBAY. For simplicity you can buy kits, but they are pricey!!
