Lil Vw Alf Crowe's Electric Car. Feilding New Zealand

This little movie was made a short time before Alf Crowe died. Alf was a great guy who did a great deal with aviation in and around the Manawatu New Zealand.
He also spent many many hours with St John Ambulance in Feilding and was very well known in the area.

A quick little movie of Alfs electric car. Shows how easy it is to

Electrical energy can be moved to make such a car is an excellent event.

What is the maximum speed the car can do? Max is the way how many miles? This is the car used in the electric motor, designed for carsDid he? With direct currentDid he electric motor works? An allowance or credit for such applications in your country have? Does it give you money in the state for this issue?

Your work is very beautiful.

the stock VW transaxle is known for being able to handle a lot more torque and hp than what standard VW engines produce. many VW racers and rodders just use plain old transaxles in their high powered cars. they are more durable than you might expect/

Brilliant! Does Alf have a website or more videos? There'd be plenty of people interested in knowing more about his conversion!

I'd love to see his EV next time I'm going by Feilding!

using a standard gear box isnt a good idea. Your standard gear box is not designed to deal with the 1 rpm, max torque characteristics of an electric motor.
