Mission Completed with 1 week to spare!
EV Grin
Took it for a test drive today for the 1st time.There is still a some more work to do before I take it home, but it is now a fully functioning Electric Vehicle. Here's a re-cap.
Engine In.
Engine out.
Electric Motor In ....
plus Belktronix EV System (Controller, DC/DC, Battery Charger, Pot Box, Contactor, Fuse, Vehicle Integrator.)
Ok, here' some video.
I offered Bob, 1st drive, but as he didn't convert it, he wasn't willing to drive it out on the street. :PHere I am taking it out into his Ramona neighborhood.
I told Bob the brakes were a bit squishy (technical term for not at all like power brakes). So He gets in to try them out. Luckily they work or else that would have sucked. It would have been a more exciting video though...

Great Job! My Saab EV is close to completion but has taken about 2 1/2 years thus far. Email me at: saxmandj(at)charter.net and we can share thoughts on our hardware choices. Mark
Congratulations on completing your EV! Will you drive it to Electric Dragin?
Hi Mark,
I hope you join the private Belktronix Google Group,as we can all learn from you.
Hi Peter,
Yes, Electric Dragin was a prime motivator for finishing. I made a sedate daily commuter,so I'm gonna have my a** handed to me by Mike Kadie who has an 11" motor and a 2K Zilla plus lithium batteries. But hey, anything for the kids...
Nice info. Pleasant holidays to you and all your readers!
