I have purchased a 2003 VW GOLF GL manual to convert to electric.
2
Approximate Goals:
3
Have a vehicle with new batteries (not lead acid) capable of 50 miles. With aged batteries 35miles. We currently go 30 miles a day in the gas car.
4
Required top speed of 45, but not necessarily highway capable.
k
5
Charge to 35 mile range in 6.5 hours from empty @ home 220Vac charger station.
6
OEM Engine was 2.0L 122 ft-lbs, 115hp. Motor can be much less hp, torque should no be more than 170ish (guess) to be sure the transmission with survive.
7
Regen power through drive motor
8
I suspect after engine components, fuel, cooling, and exhaust systems removal it will be near 2300lbs. before electric parts are put in.
9
Intent is to mount the motor where the engine was and for now leave the clutch and gearbox intact.
