| Vehicle | 1997 Saturn SL Light gray and as of this moment completely untouched. It has no idea what its in for. Muhahaha! Formerly a Department of Defense fleet vehicle. (The photo is merely representative, not the actual vehicle) | ||||||
| Motor | Netgain WarP 9 Series Wound DC Smaller than I thought it would be, but man is it heavy. ^_^ | ||||||
| Controller | Cafe Electric Z1K-HV On order... I'm hoping for sometime in December. | ||||||
| Batteries | 0.00 Volt, I'm planning on 144v or 156v. I'll likely stick with lead acid. However... If anyone has any thoughts or information on the Xellerion/Evionyx (www.reveo.com/us/node/332) NiZN batteries coming out soon I'd love to hear from you. Particularly the Xell-08-E60 | ||||||
| Charger | Manzanita Micro PFC-20 On order... Should be here by mid November. | ||||||
| Heater | Not ordered yet. I'm thinking about this one: WebPage | ||||||
| DC/DC Converter | Iota DLS-55 It has arrived. | ||||||
| Instrumentation | Not ordered yet. I'm thinking about a Link 10 WebPage or I may splurge and get an EVision WebPage . | ||||||
| Top Speed | 45mph is enough for the commute. Anything else just serves to widen the EV grin. | ||||||
| Acceleration | I don't think it will be a problem. | ||||||
| Range | I drive 20.8 miles round trip for work. I'd love to get 30+ though. | ||||||
| EV Miles |
| ||||||
| Seating Capacity | Five, if they are very friendly. | ||||||
| Curb Weight | 2,200 Pounds (999 Kilograms) Estimate based on factory stated weight. | ||||||
| Tires | Round and somewhat mismatched. | ||||||
| Conversion Time | I'm hoping to have received all the parts and be finished by the 20th of March '09. | ||||||
| Conversion Cost | O_o! Anyone know how I can get in on the Government Bailout? Alright, not that bad. I'm budgeting for $12,000. | ||||||
| Additional Features | Swinging arm for a laptop mounted on the passenger seat base. Useful for when you want to check system information or make setting changes. Easy to remove for the rest of the time. Power steering courtesy of a '00 MR2/Spyder electric P/S pump. I should be able to hook this up to the vehicle computer so it will only turn itself on when needed. Ultra-Quiet Vacuum Assist Kit: WebPage I'll let you know exactly how quiet it is when I get it. ^_^ | ||||||
| If you are in the NJ/PA area come over to the E.E.V.C. meetings, we'd love to see you. Go to: WebPage for more info. | |||||||
