A little about myself Hi, My name is Charlie and I am just an everyday guy that wanted to convert a car to electric because I was tried of playing the gasoline price game. I found a 1974 super beetle Volkswagen and I rescued it from the grave. I had to totally rebuild it from the ground up! Once this was finished I started looking for the parts to convert it to electric. Now, you can buy a kit complete with adapter plate, motor to transmission coupler, pot box, motor controller and all the other things you need BUT hang onto your wallet because most of the places selling these kits with all the components are getting a very high price. THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS and some even 8-10 thousand dollars. I don’t know about you but those prices are way over my budget and I would have to drive the car for 20 yrs to get my money back I was saving on gas. So I found if you want to do a little research your self and buy these things individually you will save about 50% over a kit. Also all the kits don’t include the 2/0 wire you need and the batteries, 6-12 or more batteries depending on your motor voltage and battery voltage, 6,8 or 12 volt. That is why I decided to build the adapters/couplers, clutch/clutch less, and supply them at a reasonable price so everyone could afford them. If you are interested just click on the Pricing & Contact link above and it will take you to the purchase page and explain what you need to do. UPDATE I’ve had a lot of calls for making couplers for retaining the original clutch in their EV Conversion so we are now offering adapters and couplers for this purpose. All of our adapters and couplers are custom made for each order and I work closely with all my customers with emails and phone calls. If you have any questions on my products, or EV questions, just contact me. Questions and answers are FREE! So, if you don’t own stock in the oil companies get out there and fight those gasoline prices! I’ve posted a couple of youtube videos below and one on the contact information page of the EV Conversion I did on a 1974 Superbeetle. Most EV conversion are not this difficult if you chose a donor car that is in good shape instead of resurrecting one from the grave like I did!! It was definitely a labor of love and took me a year to accomplish but I love driving past those gas stations with that big EV Grin on my face, it’s PRICELESS!!
