I'm trying to make a 2001 Chevy Blazer an EV. What sites offer good resources for finding support & parts?

Question

I need to find somewhere that offers help for converting a car, and also helps to buy motors, batteries and the like.

Answer 1

if you have the money, i can help you with my perpetual electric concept design. but it is more prudent with this design to first convert an EV into a perpetuaul electric vehicle. so when it is done. you can make conversion kits for most vehicles, including SUV's. i have been looking for funding by people who think the same way i do. the people who invest in this perpetual electric concept, will create a trillion dollar industry. the product base on this concept covers autos,cycles(freeway legal) watercract, wheelchairs, and on, and on! if you are interested in this concept, catch me at : [e-mail]

Answer 2

Nice choice of vehicle, for several reasons:

- fairly heavy engine coming out, more capacity for batteries

- lots of payload capacity in case you want more batteries

- lots of unused space under the pickup bed

- turn some of the underhood area into a "trunk" so you can store valuables out-of-sight

- a 4x4 low-range gearbox available

- lots of aftermarket stuff available

I highly recommend the Electric Vehicle mail-list:
