I have converted a 1996 Ford
I have converted a 1996 Ford Porbe to all electric. I am currently running on recycled lead-acid batteries and lucky to get 20 miles. I am doing this while I save my pennies to get Lithium batteries. I can expect to pay about £7500 (~$12000) to get 25.6kWh battery pack and that should get me up to 100 miles. This will cover most of my journeys. My mum lives just over 100 miles away, so I would need to stop for a top up along the way, but only a small top up, so a 1hour coffee break should do. If I could afford it, then I would go for 200 miles. If I wanted to do more than that I would use a petrol car (hire or borrow). Fortunately I have a petrol car too as my 20 miles range is quite limiting. However I have not used my petrol car for the last 3 weeks. I have a 2.6kW charger and it takes about 4-5 hours to give me 40 miles (the best battery I have had installed so far).
