ha ha, thanks, allow me to preset People's Exhibit A and B

A = parts of an internal combustion engine

B = parts of an AC induction motor

Any questions?

[Gregski]

in this video I provide a pretty basic primer on how we connect a DC battery pack to an AC motor in a DIY EV Conversion, great way to fall asleep

So when are you going to offer this conversion in kit form? You're acquiring plenty of parts and knowledge.

Good Enough EV Conversions sounds low buck, should get some interest.

LoL, February 30th of next year. I am trying to convince Mopar Seth to let me convert his 1970 Dodge Challenger to electric (Labor free, he just pays for parts) in order to test the kit or any of you, I envision the kit being semi Universal and good for first gen Muscle cars and trucks, basically any live axl rear wheel drive cars or trucks with real frames not unibody (though that don't matter).

I would love to convert my 68 k10 to electric down the road, but I use it for bird hunting, so range is a big issue, as well as weight and the space the batteries would take up. What kind of range are you expecting?

so you need the Lexus LS600h all wheel drive transmission, bigger brother of mine. That's the beauty of these gearboxes they got everybody covered, I think there's a little brother that is front wheel drive too. My goal is at least 100 miles, please check out these links

I have a 65 Corvair I think would be neat converted. Its automatic with a bad engine. But 100 miles isnt much of a range around here, maybe 200 would work that way I could go and come back without having to sit at a charging station.

Im pretty sure I could have the drive train on the Corvair rebuilt for less than an EV conversion even if its from the Good Enough Garage =)
