[...] in the future I may renew my interest, but for now this project is indefinitely stalled. The car paid for itself and then some, so it wasn’t a loss financially but I’m still sad to see it [...]

There have been some new advancements in battery technology, so I’m confident that eventually you can complete your conversion.

Please keep in mind that 120 HP produced by a combustion engine is not equivalent to an electric motor. A 60HP electric motor can produce much more power than an equivalent combustion engine, because an electric motor has 100% torque throughout the power band.

Essentially, a 50 “HP” electric motor can easily outperform a 120HP combustion engine.

Good luck with your project, and definitely keep me posted on your progress. Electric cars are clearly the future!

I’m a fan of your project. I hope you have good luck with your transformation of the electric car. I would do my old Rover 200 1.4.

The problem, I think, part of the autonomy of the batteries. I’ve seen some lithium batteries for electric vehicles but they sure are expensive.

The consumption of an electric motor capable of producing at least 120 horse power would be another factor to consider.

Please keep me informed of your progress.

Sincerely,
