Jeremy Williams' 1996 Mazda 626

Owner	Jeremy Williams
Location	somewhere in, Mississippi United States ^map
Vehicle	1996 Mazda 626 The engine has a blown piston (strike that, it turns out that the piston is in good shape. The spark plug was broken and wasn't firing, that's all it was). it has an automatic transmission but i am trying to find a manual tranny. Hopefully a five speed
Motor	Advanced DC K91-4003 48-96 VDC 8 HP Single Shaft 6.7 inch Series Wound DC 20 Horsepower continuous(limited by the controller). 40 Horsepower peak for 1 minute(limited by the controller).
Drivetrain	Plan on going with a 2.93 to 1 gear reduction
Controller	Kelly 48-144 volt 200 amp this controller should be plenty powerful for my needs. it should allow me to achieve 55 mph top speed(based on the calculator at EVconvert.com)
Batteries	12 Marine Deep Cycle 27DC-6, 12.00 Volt, Lead-Acid, AGM my expected range will be about 20 or 25 miles per charge for a 60% DOD.
System Voltage	144 Volts
Charger	Schumacher SC1500-A marine deep cycle battery charger x13 it should take about 8 hours per recharge (based on 100% DOD) according to my calculations.
Heater	Will use 2 120 volt AC heater cores salvaged from two old house heaters and will have 2 120 cfm computer case fans on each side of cores. fans will be forced to max. speed when the heater cores are active
DC/DC Converter	haven't decided yet Will use a 13th battery of the same kind as traction batteries as the accessories battery.
Instrumentation	0-200 volt digital voltmeter 0-250 ammeter by Westberg original speedometer(still works!!!) hopefully i can reuse the original tachometer
Top Speed	55 MPH (88 KPH) hopefully
Acceleration	I need at least a 0-30 time of 10 seconds!
Range	15 Miles (24 Kilometers) this is the minimum expected range.
Watt Hours/Mile	500 Wh/Mile this is based on the calculator on evconvert.com
Seating Capacity	at least 2. 4 if i keep the backseat(I plan on taking it out if the car gets above 2500 pounds.
Curb Weight	2,600 Pounds (1,181 Kilograms) I hope to stay under this weight post conversion.
Tires	225/50R17 tires on 17 inch five spoke lightweight racing wheels. will be inflated to maximum PSI.
Conversion Time	about 25-30 weeks due to budget constraints.
Conversion Cost	about 1700 dollars for the electrical components. 500 dollars for the new tranny. 1080 dollars for 12 batteries.
Additional Features	batteries will be wrapped in heat insulation so that when each battery is through charging the heat generated will be kept inside during the winter aluminum will be used to smooth the underside for more range will use herculiner bed roll in truck bed liner to line battery boxes the underside of the hood will be covered with a sound deadening material that resists heat. same goes for the panels that will line the underside of the car. inside this material will be used everywhere they can be hidden to help keep heat transfer down a complete suspension upgrade will be added
this is my first EV. i am under budget constraints right now because i am saving up to buy energy efficient appliances and lighting (LED lighting) and eventually switch entirely over to solar. once i get the LEDs installed i will move that part of my budget over to the EV to decrease time spent on the project (LED lighting installed! Now I have more EV money available!).
