No pistons, no fuel, no worries! Toyota Sera EV Conversion begins…

Methinks it would take a little while to drive across with its range, having to stop for hours every 100km to charge might be a bit annoying.

Indeed!

Totally not going to happen any time soon...
Unless I tow a 60Kw generator behind me for the trip

Wow awesome car. I've never seen a sera before. They all came with those doors?

Good luck for the inspection.

Sorry i haven't read the whole thread, how much investment did you put in it roughly?

Congrats, very cool.

[Scuzzy]

Very good news! How frequently is the car being driven ?

[VA61DETT]

Daily work car for the most part

Though I will need to make some mods to the cooling system, as it is starting to heat up over here.

I wonder how much power you'll need to end up using for cooling on a hot day.
Would be interesting to work out...

[VA61DETT]

Aircon uses about 2.8KW at 2000rpm (flat out fan)
Additional cooling fans are 120W max
