It could happen even faster but that requires more power output from your battery pack.ĥk$ on all the other stuff might not be enough. Accelerating to that speed won't happen as fast as with original engine. Depending on choice of motor and pack voltage you will do 60 mph easily. All the torque your motor can provide will be available right at lowest possible rpm. Continous power from batteries will be something like 40-50kW but it will move your car just fine. If using lithium you'd need to spend that 5k$ on batteries alone to get 40 mile range with acceptable acceleration. ![]() Lead will end up being more expensive, its really heavy and their performance (and your max range) will get lower the more you drive. You'll barely meet your range goals if using lead (40 miles max). Regarding batteries, I'd say go lithium way. How much does the original engine weight including all the liquids? You might end up with lower weight car than the original was after conversion. I believe your car is not too fat for conversion. right now im in the gathering info stage and would love to hear you vets thoughts on my idea. This will be a slow build, over time, nothing that needs to get done asap. so $5k for other stuff, controller, motor, etc, etc. my concorde has the baby v6 in it, and it's big, and slow, im fine with that.įinancing, well, i am pretty sure i can get my buddy to sponsor it for the batteries. that said, im not looking to smoke the tires, just a decent get-up. ![]() Performance, it is a little beast of a driver right now, it has great acceleration. Range, 50 miles or so, like i said, it would only go to work and back really 30 miles roundtrip. i would like to keep the power stuff though if possible. Power everything, i realize this is also not ideal. i realize this is not ideal for EV but i did read some threads that gave me hope. see image here, mine is the same except mines carbon fiber. It is auto with sport shift, so you can actually select gears 1-4 and then put it in D for overdrive. Very strong/stiff suspension: idk if i would have to beef it up more to hold batteries or what, anyone have a guess? Shes a bit on the heavy side at 3200 pounds with the ICE, i saw a guy talking about his miata that he wants to get down to 2000, idk if i can get this there. the car is really in great shape, no rust. I ran this by my dad and he thought it sounded pretty cool to him, he said if it is feasible he would help me out.ĩ9 C230 Kompressor, 4 door, auto with sport shift, 3200 lbs curb weight. my uncle in law has a lot of fab skills, he rebuilds and restores old muscle cars. on top of this i know the guy who owns a large interstate battery store near where i live and may be able to smooze him into sponsoring the project, maybe all the batteries.we will see on that. And i'm kinda bored too, and I have this car, and well, it seems like a decent idea. You see, i only drive my car to work really, 25 miles ish round trip. I own a decent little online forum for Delawareans called and one of my members recently posted a story from the beach about a guy that converted his S-10 to all electric, a light bulb went off in my head *ding* lets convert the benz!! the car is now in my name, in my garage, sitting.waiting. to do the heater core i would have to pull the dash, blah, blah, and i was planning on doing this. it has a cracked heater core and a bad cam rattle. It is to the point my dad gave up and offered me the car, for free, if i could fix it. supercharged) for quite a while, it has gradually started having little issues here and there. My mom has had a 99 Mercedes C230 Kompressor (4cyl. I am rather handy with working on cars, my dad taught me a lot. I do all the work on the cars myself, they never go to the dealer.
