1985 Chevy S-10 conversion, completed in 2007. I chose an older PU to convert because it had; Manual Transmission No power steering No power brakes No AC The batteries are used up, need new ones. I am retired now and don't need to commute to work every day. Its been sitting in my garage while I was contemplating to replace the batteries or upgrading to lithium ion or to sell. I decided to sell. Runs on 120vdc, 20-6v golf cart batteries. Over $10,000.00 invested into it. Advanced DC Motor model FB1-4001 Series-wound 28HP continuous 30HP 1-hr thermal ration 85HP peak @ 600-amp Curtis-PMC Motor Controller 500 amps Max. Current, 2-min. Rating 375 amps, 5-min. Rating 225 amps, 1-hr. Rating Zivan #NG3-120 On Board Battery Charger, 120VAC – 120VDC Zivan #NG1-DC 12 volt Converter to run lights, horn, radio wipers, ect. With this figuration the top speed should be 80mph and usable range of about 60-65 miles, Depending on battery temperature and how the vehicle is driven. I had it going 65mph to see what it could do. There are no roads with a higher speed limit in my range. Of course the EV has a shorter range at highway speeds. I could always count on a 50 mile range.On Oct-29-13 at 08:04:27 PDT, seller added the following information: The Electric motor is connected to the transmission and not directly connected to the wheels. In town, I have used 2nd gear. For faster speeds, I have used the 3rd gear. Tires are new, low-rolling-resistance. The handle on the right door is in need of repair.
