Coverting a '71 SB to all electric

**NotMe** · May 13th 07, 04:45 AM posted to rec.autos.makers.vw.aircooled

I'm seeking info and links on the availability of conversion kits and parts
to make a 71 SB run on batteries (all electric). I'm am retired engineer
(EE with power system and electronics experience) and could do a ground up
design but would prefer not to reinvent the wheel. (this is for fun not
profit)

www.ev-america.com sells kits and willl personally help you with what
you need for your project. They sent me a custom supply list after I
gave them my intentions with my kit built on a 68 Type III.
