recently there has come to light a really good deal on 18650 cells, cheap enough that getting 30kilowatts of them which is about 100 miles of ev range will only set you back like $5000, which is damn cheap
so what kinds of classics cars meet these criteria
>look good, or at least interesting
>enough body cavity space to install 200 fist-sized cells are wired together, the packs can be all kinds of sizes and shapes to fit into crevices
>enough aftermarket and community support that i can probably get bits i need easily and get questions answered in a reasonable timescale
>relatively lightweight body since these cells will be heavy af no matter what
>>
ALMOST FORGOT
>cheap to buy with at least a clean body, due it being an unreliable classic or something nobody wants etc
>>
>100 miles
>$5000
How horrifying

thats not bad at all for raw cell price, especially considering these packs have battery management on them already for balancing. Thats like $1.25 a cell which is cheeeep

>5k for 100 mile range
For 5k you could have a 500hp, reliable, aluminum head 351 based Windsor.

aren't they kind of expensive for non rust buckets though?

Is there something you don't particularly like about modern-day offerings of gas powered vehicles?

18650 cells are going to only last around 1000 recharges before losing 20% of their total capacity

>100,000 mile drivetrain for 5k
That doesn't sound so bad. And you've still got 80% left after that.
Seems like a neat idea for a second car if you live in the city. Have some old car that would otherwise have been scrap, and turn it into a city car? I don't really see the issue.

Nova (Apollo/Ventura/Omega), Falcon/Comet, Dart/Valiant, Fury, Tempest.
Getting all the cells is the least of your worries, building/programming a BMS is very difficult, plus all the fabrication and wiring of the pack, cooling, etc. you are looking at tons of work and you aren't going to find any guide to do it on the internet
>>17176154
nonsense

What does it cost to charge?

Do you have a neighbor and an extension cord?

Diesel conversion to use bio-diesel is more environmentally friendly, it is basically a 0-carbon foot print
>>
>>17176154
actually there's plenty of evidence to the contrary in Volt and Tesla packs
nissan leafs are losing charge but mostly because they don't cool their cells very well and the software to block from overcharging and undercurrent is pretty lousy
>>
>>17176317
12 cents a kilowatt hour, usually
so, 30 kilowatts to fully charge, and on a level 2 charger you do that in two hours, so around $4 to fully charge
