The process of converting my Pontiac Fiero to 144 volt electric car. Full video documentation of the process along with a few test drives. It runs on 12, 12 volt Trojan deep cycle lead acid batteries. Powered by a 9.1 in. dia. Advanced DC motor with a 500 amp Curtis controller. Part 2 and 3 will be coming soon. GO ELECTRIC!

  • how long does it take to charge and how far can you drive on a full charge?

  • 30 miles on the last long range test I did but now that the batteries are conditioned it should be able to do 40 but I haven't confirmed that yet. Takes 7-8 hours from full discharge and about 4 from half discharge.

  • You did great on that adapter.

  • great videos thanks for sharing.

  • @AntiEcoCarFan the retarded nick fits

  • Oh man, this is cool. I grew up in the 80s and thought the Fiero was the shit! A great TV show idea, that would go a long way to gaining popularity and support for EV, would be a custom garage that did full EV conversions on lots of different cool old cars. Cars with STYLE!! Give them new life with better performance, high efficiency, etc. Show people how COOL it would be to have an EV car!

  • terrific video, My solar electric system, when it's dark, Our home has those 3 small wind generators that go day AND night. Enjoyed this clip.

  • is this for front wheel only?

  • @TheTeslaAvenger Craigslist??

  • OMG I JUST saw your ad on Craigslist for this car! I am on my way to converting a 92' Jetta, just need the controller now! Go Oregon!
