1979 Volkswagen Rabbit (Electric) For Sale - $9,000
(We have decided to keep it for a
while now. $0.06 a mile for electricity is better than gas prices.
It's like getting 72 mpg at the current $4.359 price per gallon
paid.) :D
Has newer batteries (96 V via 16 x 6 V deep cycle 220 A golf cart type)
and comes with reference materials and notes from the original
creator. Rear seat was originally removed to install batteries
below.
Battery pack total volts and motor amp draw meters. Under current
conditions (ambient temperature and charger settings) it will travel
around 20 miles in stop and go city traffic. Miles per KW ranges
between 2 and 2.5. Top speed on the level is 55 mph.
5-speed manual transmission, however, only 1-3 are actually used.
It has clutchless shifting, so gear to gear is not immediate.
Good for somebody with regular short commutes. It is currently
used for daily back and forth drives to work. E-mail at jsonnentag@yahoo.com or call
