Conversion TimeJust getting started
Conversion Cost$350 purchase price. $275 to have motor rebuilt. $250 for the motor controller.
This is my second electric vehicle, neither of which are actually running at this time. I am currently working on the brakes. I had the car running earlier this year, but I decided to convert it to use the motor controller instead of the the contactors and that set me back a bit. The brakes are a pain to get working right. I have rebuilt them completely, but they still do not work :-(
