I bought some 12 volt low energy bulbs from this guy. I'm so pleased, they're mega bright and use way less power than my old setup. I'm planning to do a before and after if anyone's interested.

Hi Andy,

What class are you building the car to compete in? I've often thought that an EV would be ideal for speed events but I've never been sure about what class you could enter them in as most classes for speed events stated that pump fuel must be used.

Like the AA badge. Nice touch.

This is the sort of price I thought I could convert for before I found the BVS. I'm quite handy with a spanner and even when I asked my engine man to help me and when I told him I was serious about EVs, he laughed (his response was, "I know you're serious"), so I'm up for it. The one thing...

Love this picture.

You'll need to know what voltage you're charging first then as Chris says build your solar array based on the voltage. I always have my car or camper connected to a solar panel to keep them topped up (not the same as what your after) but this is a really simple 12V system. Some pics here . See this ...

Looks like a good event. I forwarded the details to some folk I know down there, hopefully they'll spread the word.

How to you wire it up?

Great pics. Like the paint job on the yellow one.

Great so see them still going like Sir Clive would have dreamt of.

I'm looking to give up full time employment in a couple of years. I've a bit of land so was wondering what you folk think about employment oportunities for EV distributors as a bit of a side line.
