An Electric Vehicle Conversion of a 1993 Honda Civic del Sol and a 1988 Honda Civic Wagon.

Time to wrap things up
Well now that the weather is warming I'm making a move to get the del Sol finished up. I'm going to use Dimitri's MiniBMS and an Elcon PFC 2000+ Charger. The Elcon web site has the output for the PFC 1500 listed as 8A for 115V input but I was told that is for 230v input so the actual is half that, 3-4A. But, the PFC 2000+ has an output of 144v/10A at 115v AC input and is only $130 more.
I've also had to replace the PB-6. It was the cause of my jerky startup. Notice this is a genuine "Curtis" product from KTA. "Beware of imitations".
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
