lithium batteries automotive
Has anyone been thinking about building an electric car (home-made) for themselvees any time soon?
I just read of how a man in Los Angelese has converted an old Porsche 914 to an electric car with a 60 mile range for $18,000 (24 lead acid batteries). ( http://www.latimes.com/classified/automotive/highway1/la-hy-wheels2-2008jul02,0,3144785.story )
I thought to myself that’s a good idea. Probably better to buy an electric scooter though, if you don’t need to take the freeway often as is the case in L.A.
I’m now doing some investigation into that idea and I hope to begin building my own electic car also. Does anyone else have similar plans?
I have heard about how its actually better to convet old small pickup trucks (Ford/Toyota/GM) to electric pickups because the box can hold more batteries and the springs are easily upgraded to hold the extra tonnage. Lead acid batts are heavy but they’re cheap, so that’s why Lithium Ions are shunned for now.
My thoughts are to buy an older car, as small and light as possible, and then convet it with as few batteries as possible.

The cost would make a home mortgage look small in comparison
.. . ..
Just to have the parts would be a break the bank effect
.. .. ..
And then the trial and error all cost big time and the family effect on it would be a cost no one could account for
.. .. ..
So if you are into it for to be the winner of the competition don’t even try unless you have a finical backer
.. . ..
To do it as a build your own kite kind of attack go for it only keep it model car size 1/32 size kind of thinking
