FS: VW Cabrio EV in CO - cheap! $2800

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

Quote:
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.)
