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!

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!!

@haroldvideos cut and polish does wonders

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.

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.

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

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

@tartman86 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
