Journal Of An Electric Powered Vehicle Conversion

Some Gift Ideas For Your EV Electric Vehicle Builder

I tried some to compile this list to help in buying for someone or showing what is probably needed in the EV conversion world. Not complete but Unbiased because I am not selling anything.

Installed EV Emblems

I attached the EV emblems today. Put "EV" in both front fenders under the Saturn emblem. ON the trunk or deck lid I put Lynn Auto Repair in the center and 144 Volt on the left side.

Tags and 11 Mile Drive

Monday
My wife traveled to the court house and purchased tags for the EV Saturn. So I plan on driving tonight after work and a few odd "chores".

Dash Instruments, Guages & Warning Lights

The instrument cluster originally had Four gauges; Speedometer, Tachometer, temperature and fuel level.
I want to keep first two but do not need the latter.

Clutch Hydraulic Problem

The clutch worked fine before the conversion but after the transplant the pedal stroke had little resistance and would not release the clutch disc from the flywheel/pressure plate.

Changing The Rear Springs and Struts

The rear springs had to be replaced because of the added 800 plus pounds from the 2 rear battery boxes.
I had the rear springs made at Coil Spring Specialties 632 W. Bertrand

Electric Hot Water (Liquid) Heater

The Liquid type heater I used verses a ceramic heater was an involved deal. I purchased the components from www.EVAmerica.com at a cost of $500.

EV Power Brakes

Another Saturday, another list.
List:

  • Vacuum Brakes:
  • Mount pump,
  • make a bracket with rubber mounts to cut down on noise.
  • Mount switch
  • Syndicate content
