This car has won
many awards
and is a really
outstanding
conversion.
This is a 1983 VW Rabbit Convertible; 2004 changed to all
electric. Tires are two or so months old. A couple years on the
batteries (they last 3 to 5 years). Charges on standard house hold
120V/20A wall plug. Range about 40 or more miles, depending on
how hard you drive. Over night charging. With some spares.
Includes the installation manual from Electro-Engineering (who
supplied pretty much all the new electric components). I have a
little over $13,000 in the car. I will take a LOT less for it. Has a
Russco heater to allow defrosting the windshield on a cold
morning. This car was first converted in Colorado before I moved
to Sacramento. It handles better in the snow as an electric than it
did as a gas car. Guess this is due to slightly more weight,
stronger prints and more responsive struts. It is registered in CA
as an electric only car.
The battery pack is 16 (6V) batteries for drive power and a 12 V
battery for the accessories like lights, radio, etc. I have about
10,000 miles on it as an electric.

What great fun driving past the gas station where folks pay $4 or
more per gallon and I just plug in! I am sizing down and it would be
difficult to take the car with me. I love this old car!
