| ALL ELECTRIC CONVERSION1974 SUPER BEETLE CLASSICProfessionally converted and restored 2007-2008. Handles great. Low-maintenance. Super quiet. Very reliable. Flip the switch and go, even in winter.Drive by the gas station and smile. Fill up the "tank" for about $1.Great car for running errands, picking up groceries, going for short drives or hikes, country back roads, or teenager. RANGE: 15-20 miles per charge. Plugs in to standard 110 home outlet. No special charging equipment.Recent updates 2020:Previous updates:Electric Motor is "Advanced Motors & Drives 203-06-4001"4 gears on the floor manual stick. The clutch is no longer necessary. I take good care of the batteries with charging and keeping the distilled water levels to the top. I replaced the original set of batteries with brand new ones (nine 8-volts) in 2016. They should easily last another 4 years if well maintained. I keep them charged up. My solar guy set me up with an easy pump system to fill the distilled water, which comes with the vehicle.Built in volt meter (see pic) so you can see when charge is getting low (want to keep above 60v).I calculated the gas mileage equivalent and I estimated 50 or 60 mpg. Full charge in 5-8 hours. Plug in at night (standard 110 outlet) and charged by morning.Separate 12v battery is needed for lights and for turning on the car, brand new this summer.I installed a 5W solar trickle charger for the 12V battery.12v is charged during charging of the main batteries. Solar trickle charger acts as a backup.Brakes inspected this summer. They said only 50% worn and should be good for several more years. They can squeak a little on occasion, but not bad.I took it up some steep hills outside of town to go for a hike. Coming back down the brakes did well but they did smoke!I got the urge to spray paint it camo (with Rustoleum) this last summer because of a small touch of rust along the bottom. Most people seem to think the camo is pretty cool. Kids love it. Other comments:It gets a TON of attention. There are a lot of bug fans out there, I found out I just had two people today comment on how they owned a VW. People take it's picture quite often, and they stare at it because it's so quiet! It's been a lot of fun. Now I'm moving and can't take it with me. You can be greener than everyone on the block!Let me know if I can answer any questions. | |
