With much reluctance the time has come that I would like to move on to my next conversion. To do this I need to make space and sell the Electrolux.
The first road legal industrial AC conversion in Australia.
50 x 20Ah batteries
ASEA 15kw 4 pole aluminium frame motor
Danfoss 5042 VFD
Peak power is 48kw, Peak torque is 360Nm
Seats 4
rego till about March (need to check)
located in Sydney Northern Beaches
It has been on the road for 18 months.
The batteries are good for 15-20km on a warm day. Less when cold.
The other reason for selling apart from space is that I don't want to invest any more into this vehicle, and move on to my next project.
I am looking for offers at this point because it is difficult to know what it is worth. The total project was about 14k including the vehicle, certification and on road costs
This would be an excellent EV for someone to build on and develop as it is already registered as an EV. Or use as a technology test platform for a company.
There is plenty of room under the bonnet and in the tray to easily experiment with different configurations without having to shoehorn in components.
With a 100v motor rewind, a tritium controller and a 320v pack of 40-60Ah Lithium this would be a great vehicle.
Check the old posts in my blog http://a4x4kiwi.blogspot.com for the build details or check the June 2009 edition of Silicon Chip magazine.
I can be contacted by PM or on 0409 601 747.

The Ghosts of World War II's Past (20 photos) - My Modern Metropolis
The Ghosts of World War II's Past (20 photos) - My Modern Metropolis:
Brilliant super-imposing of war images over modern images of the same location taken from the same perspective.
These images bring closer the realities of war.
"Taking old World War II photos, Russian photographer Sergey Larenkov carefully photoshops them over more recent shots to make the past come alive. Not only do we get to experience places like Berlin, Prague, and Vienna in ways we could have never imagined, more importantly, we are able to appreciate our shared history in a whole new and unbelievably meaningful way."

EV WORLD: White Zombie Electric Drag Car - Cracking the 10s
He lovingly calls his 1972 Datsun 1200 coupe ' White Zombie'. "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" may have been a more appropriate moniker, for this little spam can from Japan transforms itself from a nondescript econo-box indistinguishable from the millions of other cheap imports daily shuttling commuters into a veritable monster… on the drag strip, one that grows more aggressive, more powerful with each passing year.
This year was no exception. For the first time since he began drag racing competitively, John "Plasma Boy" Wayland's little car not only 'cracked the 10's', it smashed straight through them. Here, in his words -- with some deft editing -- is how he and his team did it last Friday night (30 July 2010) at Portland International Raceway in Oregon.
0-100km/hr in 2 Seconds!

Central NSW - Recharging the Region expo
Last weekend I dragged my family to the Centroc EV and sustainability expo
I had some good discussions and met some interesting people.
Kearon and co were there with the Formula V and Capri. http://evcapri.com/Kearons_EV_Capri_-_100_electric_car_conversion/Blog/Entries/2010/6/28_Odyssey_Batteries_sponsors_ourFormula_Green_prototype_racecar.html
The electric Triton 4 door ute that Les (from Sydney) converted was there also.
A uni solar car and a group of students were showing the vehicle. It is a shame it was raining all day.
I met Michael from Deep green with the EV Honda. It has the Tritium controller and a very special motor and gearbox from ultramotive. It was very elegant and right at the forefrount of EV development. Keep an eye out for an all wheel drive Evo Lancier in the future!

I also had a good discussion with one of the BEV team and also a brief chat with Ross himself. They had Bernie Hobs' Getz there. It was also a very nice conversion.
There was the first road registered Tesla there and I had a talk with the local GM Rudi Tuisk who is setting up shop in Sydney. A very smart guy. He had driven from Sydney to Bathurst on about 80% of the charge. The highlight was a ride in the Tesla around the track. at the ahem... speed limit.
There were 2 sellers of bikes, mopeds, recumbants and electric assist bikes. The electric assist bikes, even at 200W were a lot of fun to ride. I also hadn't ridden a recumbant trike before which was an experiance. (even getting in/on it was an a learning experience)
The other area had more domestic products such as native trees to give away, insulation ideas, Wind generator ( 5KW from memory), eco building products etc. See http://centroc.com.au/expo for more details.

Very nice motor and gearbox from Fuel Cell Honda
Here is a cut away of an excellent motor and gearbox combo from Honda.
The image was grabbed from a weekly EV video from Robert Llewellyn called 'Fully Charged' on youtube.
