Anyone considering doing an EV conversion would save a bundle buying this car.

1983 VW Rabbit Cabriolet converted in 1994 with Voltsrabbit by Electro Automotive. 96 volt system with 16 Trojan T125 batteries in good condition. This car has good acceleration and a top speed of 65 mph. The range is about 28-30 miles if you use the acceleration or more depending on driving style and conditions. It has a convenient onboard charger. The body is in average condition with a few dings. The car is registered in CO. More photos and information available upon request.

No kidding. It'd be worth it for the parts alone to transfer to a different glider if the VW isn't your cup of tea - though you'd have to make new battery boxes/racks, tranny adapter plate & input shaft coupler.

Looks like it's been sold - it's not on the site anymore. (They need a more friendly way for old links to die.)
