Re: Pricing for an EV project

Thanks for the info everyone who emailed me.
I have been researching but there sometimes is more info than one can consume over 2 years and its hard to be patient and allow yourself to listen and the "kits" seemed like an easy selling point for my wife. I shared the info with her and she agreed there are possibly some better options around the same price, so I can keep moving forward.
I would really like to go with the zilla, but I guess the 4 month lead time freaked me out a little. I suppose I can be patient for something nice and spend a few months with the welder and building up some sweet support suspension components and battery supports and find areas to drop weight at the same time.

I think Rogers message helped me realize there are more than a few options to building up a part selection on your own.


Randy, the Squareback is still gas powered.
When I get it started for the project I will put my progress on a blog as i have a bunch of friends interested but afraid to start.
I am still considering converting a notchback that doesnt have a motor in it, or an actually really nice conditioned fastback that is for sale in town for $600 .  of course my friends are inspired and might look at doing the same thing with those cars.

Cheers,
Brent
