AC Electric Car Conversion Kit and Batteries

"Lightning Bolt" LiFePO4 Batteries

I'm considering converting my Mustang GT to electric. I'm an electronics tech and can handle most of the work myself. What I should expect for cost and what is a good source for parts and information? I have worked with smaller AC motors before and would like to go that route. What kind of information can you share about controllers and battery selections?

Hi, Brian!

Cost: right now (May 2008), you'll pay about $9500.00 for the light AC kit for the manual transmission at Electro Automotive, and $11,000 for same with direct drive. The inverter/controller you'll get from them, too, comes with the package.

Batteries: Beepscom's Lithium Iron Phosphate batteries, the best available for electric cars right now, are a reasonable price.

Regards,
Lynne
