i had a discussion with a friend lately, where we talked about the ideal car for electric conversion.
the goal is to have a low cost, reliable car that can do highway speeds and a 200km range.
my ideal candidate would have been a mercedes 190 w201. it was produced between 1982 - 1993.
pro:
old enough to be a youngtimer - starts to look cool nowadays again
high volumes produced (1.8m cars)
big enough for 4 adults and luggage
reasonable safety features like ABS, side collision protection, airbag etc ...
not TOO much electronics
reasonable comfort features like power windows, power lock etc ...
good chassis frame and suspension
enough space for batteries
con:
didn't find any, maybe expensive spare parts?
let me know what you think!
