EV ( Electric Vehicle ) Conversion by Mannyman: Electric Vehicle ( EV ) Conversion 11-23-2007

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

Electric Vehicle ( EV ) Conversion 11-23-2007

Took some more pix of my Lead Sled.

8 12V PowerSonic PG-12V140-FR in the rear, plus 4 in front all cabled up.
All according to plan:

BelkTronix BatMon battery monitors on each battery.

Will install my PakTrakrs after I'm done testing the TouchScreen Interface...

Why I'm doing this.

Yeah, I care about the environment as much as the next guy. And yeah, I'm a nerdy geek. But, when it comes down to it, what really made me spend my free time and money on this endeavor, is knowing that: every time I put in any gas in my car, some money (a penny is too much) is going to people that want to KILL our kids.

"You don’t have to be a military strategist on the order of Sun Tzu or Carl von Clausewitz to understand: It is a bad idea to fund your enemy’s war effort. But every time we fill the tanks of our cars with gasoline we put money in the pockets of terrorists intent on killing Americans."
