Re: 1984 Voltswagen Rabbit Prius Gen 3

Things were going great, so I decided to add some uncalled for drama! Today I have owned the Rabbit for 65 days, and I thought could I convert it to electric in 100 days or less?

Re: 1984 Voltswagen Rabbit Prius Gen 3

Yes, batteries are really expensive on the east coast too. I'm looking at making LiFePo4 batteries instead. Pesky freezing temps that you cant charge is slowing that. did you see how Johannes handled this problem, link provided drops you at that point in time https://youtu.be/P3HD9yUQJfg?list=PLugo...

This is where the bad rap comes from, folks cutting off 2 or 3 coi...
