Front rack
This rack will hold 2 of the 5 cell packs and is mounted very similarly to Tim's front rack except it is a welded box 35.5" x 7". I've only mounted it to the top single bolt on the "towing" mount of the frame. The straps coming down are 3/4" x 1/8" and bolted to the rack with 1/4" bolts. Instead of powder coating I used a propane torch to burn off the oils and moisture and then primed and painted.
This is a conversion project of a 1993 Honda del Sol to a 144V electric vehicle. This EV is expected to have a maximum speed of 85 MPH and a sustainable speed of 55-65 MPH. Its range should be 60 miles. The onboard chargers can be plugged in to any 110 outlet and charge up the batteries overnight. Currently the total budget including the donor vehicle is $13,500.
'88 Honda Civic Wagon
My first conversion was an '88 Honda civic wagon converted to a 72v system, with a max speed of 45 mph, a range of 18 miles for about $4000
