Anyone into Converted EV's?

[thorne]

I'm a gear head so I totally Dig this. My buddy has a 75 Civic that's been converted to Electric. He did not do the initial conversion. But he's upgrading some things on it. It's a pretty neat little toy. It's in pristine condition.

The guy who built this seems to have taken his time to do shit right and efficient.

Woah, it was converted in 81?? Shit, if he put modern batteries/motor in it, that thing could go from slow to quick pretty..uh, quickly.

 

Awesome condition, glad to see it hasnt been trashed. It looks like a really nice car for what it is.

I am somewhat into them and have read quite a bit about what's out there. It all started in 7th grade when I read "How to Build An Electric Car."

Funny you say that...they recently contacted my wife over LinkedIn about some positions for her. I don't think we can move to Palo Alto at this point, though.
