Worth looking into thanks.

Keep the 6 volt system and use golf cart batteries; you can then tap in to one for you aux. power.

Great idea SirTragain and that is something I could add in the future. Right now my EV bug is a commuter. I drive 25 miles to work, plug it in work 8 hours, drive 25 miles home, plug it in sleep 8 hours, and do it all over again.

I would try to have the green one light up when the charger is still plugged in and charging so you do not drive off with it plugged in to the wall socket. The red one could come on when you have used 25% of your pack charge.
This would let you know to start thinking about charging and roughly how far you have until 50% DOD (Depth of discharge).

Thanks!!! It is a great conversation piece. I have had people follow me till I stop to ask questions. I have had people standing around it while parked in a parking lot as I come out of the store to ask questions. I have been sitting in stop and go traffic on I-75 and have people ask me questions as they pass by. Its a great car.

Great car. I am thinking of doing this with my 62. I have the original 40 horse (in perfect original running condition). I am sure I will have to convert to 12 volt. Can you tell me a ball park cost and where to begin my project? Web site? Thanks so much. Fantastic job.

WOW! A 62...Seems you would want to keep it original and find another vehicle to use but an electric 62 would be great. I searched around the web and finally went with Electric Vehicles of America. Not sure a web site that will walk you through the whole process but you can take a look at mine. I spent around $5000 for parts and accessorizes and $1350 for batteries. Good Luck !

Should have kept the music off so we can hear the engine's "noise".
