Gav's EV Conversion - 25 - Life "Between" EVs

Visit www.EVsecrets.com & grab my new EV Conversion book + video package!

Yeehaa! It's the loudest, biggest epsiode yet with everything from Tahitian sunsets to Rick Astley - and yet it still remains (loosely) based around electric vehicles!

Life without the electric car has been tough but hope for KiwiEV 2 gives me strength.
I've already decided on a donor car and a specific voltage and I'm confident I can wipe the conversion cost of KiwiEV 2 in half, yet still have a great performing EV.

While writing my EV conversion book I've been researching heaps of cost-cutting ideas and methods for building a good, cheap EV and I'm looking forward to putting them into practice. Call them "EV Secrets" if you like. :)

We're in winter down here in New Zealand which means it's cold! So cold in fact that I demonstate some sheer cunning, matched with good old fashioned laziness to get around starting cold cars in the morning!

Also in this episode you'll finally get to see what we used the "Unspent Gas Money" on (finally!). Thanks to the money that would have otherwise gone to BP's profits, we were able to spend 7 nights in paradise.
THANKS BP! Hehehe (evil laugh)

There's also three follow up's on the other converters mentioned in the previous full episode of Gav's EV Conversion. Adam's MR2 is roaring along (albeit silently), Richard's LiFePO4 (lithium iron phosphate) powered Laser is past halfway, and Kearon's electric Capri (in Australia) is getting media attention.

This is by far the biggest, juiciest episode yet, packed full of EV-related stuff!
ENJOY!

P.S. You probably won't believe this but I don't actually like Rick Astley's music. Honest.

I like your video and been a fan long time. Toyota Prius more EV conversion selling here in the 48 states. PHEV conversion kits are spendy though ranging from $3500 to $10000. The battery technology on Lifep04 and Nimhd are used too.

And Gav, working on another EV project already? I am curious. I've enjoyed the way you took us through all the stages of the conversion. You made me an EV enthusiast, maybe I get the nerve to convert my Porsche 964 into an electric car. (Did I just say that?) Wow,....hope to see more of your work soon, keep us all posted.
