Re: JD's VW Bus Conversion EV project (2 of 2)

Re: Fiat 500e Frenzy
Hi brokenblinker, Glad this helped, your duty cycle sounds ideal for an EV! Yep, with the 8 year/100k warrantee on the battery you wouldnt have to worry about it for 5.5 years on a 2015. Even so, it isn't like the pack goes off a cliff in 8 years - most batteries' cycle life is rated until they drop...

Re: 1,000lb "Elec-tow’d” Electric Tow’d Dune Buggy Build Thr
Today is the 4 year anniversary of when I took delivery of the Towdster.
It seems like another lifetime ago, the project took so much time, over so many cycles of hard work and consequent burnout.

Excellent job! :D I have particular interest in your build - I don't know if you have seen my B.F. Meyers Towdster dune buggy build (CLICK HERE for the long build thread) , but it looks like we think along the same lines. I finished it a few years ago, and it is monster fast, but I've been thinking ...

Re: Fiat 500e Frenzy
This is a 2017 in my color, so it has the nice in-dash Nav instead of the factory-mount TomTom. The video starts slow but the guy makes some good points - for him his lease is almost free.
