After doing our conversion with a small car and using the
back seat and the engine compartment for batter storage we
believe either this alternative or a small truck offers the best
balance between light weight and strong frame.
Our next conversion will probably be a Toyota Tacoma or 4
Runner conversion, stronger and more battery capability
with also a light weight.
You will need to know the weight of your vehicle too, as this
will determine the motor necessary, battery sizing and
voltage you will need. You can get this done at any weigh
station used to weigh trucks, gravel pits, and such will work
fine.
We will talk later about these requirements.
Here is our list of small vehicles that we ‘KNOW’ have been
converted to Electric successfully.
