Once again, I turn to the all-knowing EVList members for advice on an EV purchase!
I've just discovered a '74 Fiat, converted in the '70s, for sale. It's running on a 36V generator with a 48V pack of floodeds, with a voltage switching controller setup. The body looks good, from what I've seen in the pictures. It drives well, and I had a nice conversation with the owner, who's got many ideas about improving it. Would this be a wise purchase for a beginning EV-ite? Seems to me, that I could use it to get my EV grin on while I work on converting my Civic. All the while saving my Insight from the rough city miles. Any advice? Although old, the conversion does look clean. Any ideas on what kind of upgrades I could do? How about throwing some of my Optimas in there, with a 9" ADC or NetGain and a Raptor? Hmmmm. Thanks! Matt -- Composed on "Ti", my Titanium PowerBook G4.
