1986 Honda : CRX-EV
There's a 1986 Honda : CRX-EV currently at $5,800 (more pics here). It's fairly minimal but it is complete. This seller seems to make and sell one of these conversions every once in a while. I think his last one was the 95 red Metro-EV. There's also a Festiva at his site.

They used to turn out much cheaper "scrapyard Metro" conversions (a la ForkenSwift) - the "base" model using the J&H motor and a single ON/OFF contactor (with "launch control" achieved using the clutch). I saw several of those sell for around $2500 US. The more recent Metro, Festiva, Civic & CRX conversions are a little more sophisticated ;). And the price is pretty good for a conversion with all new parts. Good for him. I wonder how much he makes on each one. |

Thats awesome. I would love to do that for a living hehe. Now how come a car manufacturer can come out with something like that?
|
is it possible to charge these homemade evs at public ev charging stations?
I know out here in california there are an abundance of free charging stations that are never being used cause no one has an ev. |
Only if they're built with the right connectors.
The public charging stations used weatherproof inductive paddles, if I'm not mistaken. Most home-builts just use standard plugs. That's not to say you couldn't equip a home-built with the right kind of hardware. |
