Vehicle1985 Pontiac Fiero 2M6
Soon: Fiero EV

This car will be almost completely restored and converted. I will use this as my daily driver and depending on range maybe for my weekends too
MotorAdvanced DC 4001 Series Wound DC
ControllerCafe Electric Zilla Z1K HV 1000Amp
I'm buying this controller so I have room for upgrades in the future when I can afford Lithium and can up my voltage
Batteries16 US Battery US-2200 or US - 125, 6.00 Volt, Lead-Acid, Flooded
I was thinking about going with the US-145 batteries but I don't want all that extra weight...if it will help me get better range on the car I might go that route
UPDATE...I am thinking lithium, why not do it right the first time, possibly Lionev
System Voltage96 Volts
Charger
not sure yet
DC/DC Converter
might go with a 2 in 1 charger and converter
Top Speed70 MPH (112 KPH)
I'm hoping for over 70 mph. I need 110 kmph and anything over that will be great, but I've had too many tickets in my life.
AccelerationI would like it to be fast enough to not make other drivers angry
Rangewould like around 80km-100km. If I can figure out how to get 130km I won't need another car. I would just borrow from a friend or relative for long trips (which might be once a year)
Seating Capacity2 adults
Curb Weight2,791 Pounds (1,268 Kilograms)
pre conversion weight
Tiresnew Goodyear tires
Conversion TimeI only get to work on the car on weekends. Usually every other weekend. I plan on having the car done for spring 08
UPDATE...spring 08 didn't happen, taking longer then I planned and I haven't had as much time as i would like to work on it.
Additional FeaturesI'm working on this car with my girlfriends father. So far we have taken out all the ICE parts and are currently in the process of cleaning up all the rust, rebuilding the suspension and brakes, and replacing all the brake lines.
UPDATE...We are just cleaning and rebuilding right now. Will hopefully be ordering EV parts in the near future
UPDATE...EV Parts on on order, should be here in a few days!
UPDATE...Just got the EV parts, still waiting for some suspenssion and brake parts.
