i looked at your instructables and i must say great job , i may be doing a project like this , but i have no idea what kind of a car , i was maybe even thinking about a small light truck

yes but how fast have you gone? and have you accelerated hard? this video is more like driving miss daisy and not exactly a stress test. drag it. spin the wheels. see if the controller is robust

edit: a brand new set of batteries would be around that, these are used and salvaged (FTW!)

lead acid's (like the ones in this EV) are recyclable, not sure about the electrolyte, but definately the lead and plastic. A pack like this one probably ran about 1200 bucks ? something like that.

what about the car interior heating during the winter time . nobody say anything about this thing. you have to use a sirocol-webasto, just to warm up the car interior,wich run on petrol or diesel finaly

@DLI77
I will be the first to admit that the heat isn't very good. I mostly use the car for short trips where a gasoline engine wouldn't be warmed up anyways. I have also experimented with an oil-filled electric radiator heater, which runs off wall power on a timer. I set it to pre-heat the car, so that when I am ready to go in the morning, it is already warmed-up!

that's some spielberg shit right there! ok maybe I got carried away : )
but not bad. what's the music?
and what kind of current have you had it up to? and what's the top speed you have gone?

The music is by THEY MIGHT BE GIANTS.
The car is running a 500 amp controller and I have run it at anything between 72 and 144 volts. I have most recently been running at 108V, because that's the highest the one charger goes to.

Hey Ben, I am converting a 98 Metro, It looks like yours. I'm about to order one of paul's controlers, Not sure what motor, I was thinking about the D&D ES-15-6? I should be posting some videos soon.
