[ausev] conversion canidates

[Rob]

Gary,
 
Do you have any budget targets?  Also, how much is "at least 40,"  There are
many factors, but in my experience saying anything >30 will put you in a
different class of conversion.  It's achievable, but more costly.
 
My basic 144 VDC Pb conversion of a RAV4 peaked at 30 miles range and cost
$10k.

Hello Everyone,
I am a brand new member ( as of 5:00 this day) and I need help choosing a
small utility type vehicle to convert and also what system to use. I need it
to have a range of at least 40 miles with some highway speed. Do I go with
lead acid or is there a new Lithium Ion battery that is proven and
reasonably priced out there somewhere? When I do choose a vehicle, is there
someone who would be willing to sit down with me and help design a system
that would work best for that vehicle? Any assistance would be greatly
appreciated. Thanks and may we all drive electric cars soon!
P.S.--- If there are any get togethers or classes or other EV events going
on, please let me know.
---Gary
