Mannyman Goes Electric

Mission for 2007 Accomplished: Convert an ICE to an EV.

Hi my name is Manny. In March 2007 I picked up a nice '69 VW pan with upgraded disc brakes,shocks and an electric motor already mated to the tranny. I also acquired a '71 pan/'74 SuperBettle ICE based/'79-'80 styled Bradley GT2 (non-electric version with an '88 title.) from eBay. Took pretty much the whole month to get legal (not me, I was born here) with the DMV and CHP. Now the fun begins. Update: EV completed in December 2007

Lee Campbell and his Solar Assisted Electric S10.	He uses 200 watts of solar panels to charge two 12-volt batteries, one that runs the vehicle accessories and gauges, the other runs the electric power steering.	2 PVC tubes with PC fans ventilate his battery box that holds 20 6-volt, deep-cycle, lead-acid batteries. 4 more in a box up front for a total of 144V.
