I made an EV
C-RexThe conversion of my Honda CRX to battery-powered EV. Over 300 hours put into engineering, custom metal fabrication, circuit design, and high-voltage electrical work.
C-Rex was faster than stock, cost less to operate, had fewer moving parts, and was more fun to drive! Sadly, I sold him when I became a dad since he had no backseats. ðŸ˜
Gutting the internal combustion parts
The easy part.. if it leaks or squeaks, it's gone!
Installing the electric motor
DC motor mounted to the original transmission
Batteries arrived (to my great relief)
Still have that fresh-from-Shenzen smell!
Strapping the battery packs
A good chunk of time went into designing the battery packs, the heart of any EV
Rear battery pack
I cut a hole in the floor behind the front seats. GR8 Stuff is my friend.
Installing front battery racks
Painted maize, of course
Electric drivetrain finished
Six months of planning, setbacks, and late nights
Full body, wheel, & glass restoration
