The cost varies:
We would need to know your expectations.
Are you looking for an around town vehicle, perhaps a 20-30 mile range?
Are you looking for a comuter type vehicle?
Are you wanting some neck snapping speed?
The basic parts, (motor, controller, contactor, charger etc.) range from $4,500.00 to $8,000.00 depending on what type of performance you are looking for.
Batteries range from: $2,600.00 for Golf cart to $8,500.00 for the Hawker Odesseys... to $12,000.00 for Lithium... again, its all in what you want and your design of the vehicle.
The incidentials: (wire,nuts, bolts, steel for battery boxes, fuses, fuse holders, cables, hubs, adapter plates, pulleys, belts, fans, etc...etc. ) can range anywhere from $1,800.00 to $3,500.00)...
We can work with most budgets,...
We could do a small conversion, using the min. of parts ( the small parts package) , up to 20 Golf Cart Batteries, and no fancy bells and whistles ( giving you a range of about 25 -30 miles at 35mph) for about $16,000.00 including Labor. This would be a real ECONO package...nothing fancy..does not include shipping/transport etc. only a real basic conversion.
To a mid size package which usually runs approximately $22,000.00.
To a full size package, the big 11" motor, the Hawker Odessy batteries (the big bad boys)...some neck snapping speed for approx $26,000.00.
These prices are APPROXIMATE.. The invoice is based on TIME and the cost of the PARTS.
OPTIONS:
You can do the complete conversion yourself. If you buy the parts from us, Steve will assist you the best he can via email, email pic's and a min. of telephone conferences.
You can participate in an "ASSISTED " conversion: where you bring your vehicle to our shop, use our facility and our tools and basically do the conversion yourself with Steve's input and guidence. Assisted conversions are based on Steve actual time helping you... so if you are here 8 hours one day, and steve actually "assists" you with something 2 hours of that day, then you pay for 2 Hours of Assisted time @ $45.00 per hour.
A PARTIAL conversion: where you take out the I.C.E., get the car ready for the Motor and batteries. Bring it to our shop and steve assists you in completing the motor and battery installation. Then you take it home and compete the balance yourself. A partial conversion is based on $60.00 per hour.
A FULL conversion, where you leave the car, Steve does the complete conversion which is based on $60.00 per hour, plus parts.
Conversions take anywhere from 150 to 225 hours to complete. This sometimes translates into 3 to 6 months shop time. You are only billed for the time each day that your car is worked on. Steve may work on 3 or 4 different cars in the shop and will bill only for the time on each car. ( as an example....if painted battery racks are drying on one car, he will move to another car to do what is next on the list of items to be completed).
Initial Design/Consultation: (Donor vehicle, Choice of Batteries, Motor, Controller, Battery Placement and design) is $75.00 per hour:
