Toyota Tercel Electric Car Conversion
by Rick
I have a 95 Toyota Tercel. The most basic you can get, which is a 1.5 ltr with a manual 4 speed. What might I need in the way of converting to electric without loosing what little gonads the car has? It don't have to rocket from a stop but a little more get up and go would be great of course. From what I've read everyone seems to have differing points of view on a lot of what needs to go under the hood. It doesn't need a lot of range. I go to work and back and run short errands with it in town. Hi, Rick - Yeah, the Tercel has been converted to electric, many times. Steve Clunn, a very experienced electric car converter in Florida with a company called Grassroots EV, has a picture of his Toyota Tercel EV conversion here on the EV Photo Album, along with a description of the components he used. Steve's Tercel is a pretty basic DC conversion - 9" Netgain motor, 108 volts. You might find a lot of differing points of view in the EV forums or wherever, but Steve actually does a lot of EV conversions, he's actually done THIS particular EV conversion, and he knows what he's talking about!
