Electric Cars and Conversions

For a couple of years I've been thinking of doing an electric car conversion as a hobby/post-retirement project.聽 聽


So petrol engine out, electric motor in plus the other bits like batteries, controllers etc.聽 聽


I'm thinking of a VW Beetle as a target vehicle.聽 It's supposed to be an easy one - rear engine, bolt on adaptors for the motor are easily available, space for batteries upfront and under the rear seat, retain gearbox for gears 1 and 2 (not that it will actually need gears).聽 There are even kits for it but I'm thinking more homebrew.聽 聽Target distance/range 150 to 200km (probably the most useful for mainly local trips).


Has anyone had any experience of this kind of thing - VW or otherwise?
