This is a
newly converted plugin electric1986 Honda CRX with a 5 speed
transmission which has been built to sell. The new electric
motor is made by D&D motor systems #ES_15A, and its rated at twelve HP
continuous and forty HP Peak at 72 VDC. It has a Alltrax 72 VDC controller
that can be wired to a USB port of a computer / laptop for stats,
adjustments, etc. with a RS232 cable found at Radio Shack. There are nine
new 8 volt batteries that are installed in this vehicle running at 72
volts. It will come with a new 5-10 amp (adjustable voltage 12-72 VDC)
battery charger and a 1-2 amp float charger for the accessory battery. It
has installed a DC volt meter and amp meter on the dash for easy readings.
Speeds up to 50 MPH can be reached, which is what I got with this car with
recent testing. It will get between 25 to 50 miles on a charge depending
on driving habit, your speed, etc. Faster speeds (55 to 60 MPH)
can probably be obtained in warmer weather being that there is a 25% loss
in efficiency with the batteries in cold weather which we are
currently having. Also because the brushes on the motor are new,
once they are worn in it will pick up speed and range. As the batteries cycle
through after 16 to 20 charges there will also be a noticeable difference
in the range per charge. This is a great run around electric car for most
your local driving including driving to work. Recent studies show that
most people average 29 miles per day in driving. This car is sold as-is.
