#29 Dodge Daytona EV Conversion- Out With The Old And In With The NEW!

[25turbo22]

The poor Daytona is salvage yard bound! Another one chopped up!

[osgnuru]

Digi-Key rocks! I buy all my stuff from them and they ship it to me in Canada super fast. I will be watching your electric car conversion with much anticipation.

Hey kyle, don't you dare give up! That car has body & soul, all it needs is a life.

@JaynalM Thanks! I'm currently soldering the controller- I hope to have it running soon!

[BenjaminNelson]

Glad to hear you are doing an Open Revolt controller!!! They kick butt!

I can't wait to add GPS to mine!!!

[kylehondarider]

@BenjaminNelson I can't believe how cheap it's gonna be. It would be really cool with GPS, let me know how it goes! You going to MREA this year?

[BenjaminNelson]

I will be at the MREA, with the Metro, and maybe some friends vehicles as well.

I applied to do a "Build Your Own Electric Car" seminar at the fair. I am not sure exactly when they decide on the seminar schedule.

[kylehondarider]

@BenjaminNelson Wow. I would love to take part in that! (If you're interested..) I think we could make a cool little program out of it. I guess EV conversions are something most people wouldn't think about doing, and getting it out there to people would get their gears turning.

[kylehondarider]

g'day mate! great to hear from you again! it'll be good to see your car running too! did you hear that kearon with the ev capri here in oz set a land speed record on our salt flats with an electric motor cycle? pretty cool!

[kylehondarider]

@lpgas1 I can't wait to get it going again. I saw the videos on it, unbelievable. It would've been so fun to be there and see it.

I wanna see this Daytona up and running soon!

I also wanna see another EV project from you!

I think you should start resurrecting some K-cars as EVs; and pimp them with shag-style bench seats!

[kylehondarider]

@SamuraiClinton hahaha shag bench seats sounds like a good time lol. I do plan on doing another project if I have the funds. I'd like to build an electric truck, I think it would be easier (especially to fit the batteries). I think my parents need an EV too!

WOOOHOOOO, great to hear keep us up on the completion.

[kylehondarider]

@BungaEBiker Will do, I'm back for good now haha. I just recieved most of the parts from Digi-Key today and the Mouser parts are on the way! I just need the board from Paul and I'll be ready to go!
