Anyone built an electric vehicle?
 

I am looking for a project and I'm thinking of an electric vehicle. I have wanted to restore an old VW bus for a while now and found a few examples of conversions to electric already completed:

VW Bus Example #1:

VW Bus Example #2:

Parts seem readily available and the approach fairly straightforward.

Has anyone converted a vehicle to electric? If so, I'd like to hear about it.

It is going very slow and I do not have a lot of time for it right now but will get it build sooner than later.

When I have time I will give you some forums to go to with lots of good info.

Thanks Jim, look forward to tracking your progress. I may send you a PM on some questions if you do not mind.

I'd also appreciate any sites, I have found a few but always interested in others.
