Ev Conversion Spotlight: The Classic Beetle

Dissatisfied with big industrys here to fore reluctance to get into the electric car game many EV enthusiasts have decided to jump in themselves and convert I.C.E. Cars over to electricity.  

Some models of car have become so popular for conversion that you can even get conversion kits. This takes a lot of pain out of the job.

Toyota 2000GT Solar EV

In the summer cars sit out in the car par, doing nothing except absorbing the solar energy and getting hot. In this car the designers though what if we could harness some of that solar energy. Its not enough to run the car. But at least you know your pack is unlikely to run completely to zero. That is a good battery protection feature. They still have to work on the looks though.

Wonderfully impractical and totally over the top. Well done lads, I love it. And they have plans for one twice as powerful that should be able to pull 2 horizontal G.

0-60: 4 seconds
Range: 110 Miles
Horsepower: 300hp
