So as many have heard as a long-term project I want to build a electric car out of reclaimed stuff. There are a lot of ideas and a whole lot more questions. If you have ideas or want to join the project feel free to message me :)
Ideas
- Building simple and improve step-by-step
- Using a motor from a washing machine to use with a "Versicherungskennzeichen"
- using a motor from a electric forklift (approx. 8HP)
- building a retro chassis
- high capacity for better mileage
- make it a hard top convertible
- solar panels on the roof to charge while driving
- selfmade seats
Potential Problems
- our welding transformer might not be up for the job (MAG or WIG would fit better)
- funding
- how to get the certificate to legally drive it on the street
- since it's not a one-day project and pretty large where to store it
- suspension
- steering
- finding a differential small enough
- I'm sure a whole lot more...
