The making of an all electric EV VW Cabriolet

This blog follows my process of converting a 1992 VW Cabriolet to an electric vehicle. As an EV it is quiet, dependable and has plenty of pep and range to get around town.

The engine is out!

Sometimes things go pretty well and today seemed like one of those. The engine came out without bloodied fingers so I'm pretty happy. Thanks Aaron, Conrad, Chris and Jeremy for the help, and Sarah for the awesome beer bread.

The recipie is:

3 C flour
3 t baking powder
1.5 t salt (we use less)
3 T sugar
1 can beer (cooks quicker if it's warm)

Mix dry ingredients then stir in beer. Put in greased loaf pan. Bake at 350 for 45 min to an hour. Remove, butter top, & brown for 5 min. (Sarah didn't do this)


The engine is out!


Chris has some better pictures so I'll post them when I get them. Only the gas tank and exhaust are left to pull.

How much do you plan to spend totally? Also what kind of range and speed do you expect?
Tks
