[ausev] My "new" car

[John Pearce]

Hi Everybody,

I just received the EV that I bought from Charlie Wilson of Huntsville AL (maybe you saw his car listed recently on the EV Trading Post).  It is a very nice conversion job on a 2000 Toyota Corolla using Trojan T-1275 batteries.  

The car is presently set up for 144 volts with 12 batteries.  Experimentation shows that it will perform much better at 96 volts with only 8 batteries due to saving 330 lbs of weight in the trunk.  I have 2 questions:

1.  Does anybody have a 96 volt charger that they would like to sell?

2.  Is anyone interested in 4 very slightly used (about 30 charge cycles, and not abused) Trojan T-1275 batteries?

BTW:  If anyone may be interested, I think that Electro Automotive has the design for the motor adaptor plate for this car.  It bolts onto the transmission housing and retains the Toyota clutch and flywheel.


Thanks,

John Pearce

P.S.  Did I read correctly that we will not be having meetings at the Terrazas Branch Library anymore?  If so, where will the August 8 meeting be, please?

Sorry, that was 4 questions.  :-)
