Conversion Parts List

Over the last couple of years I have been spending a little time doing research on electric vehicle conversions, parts associated, availability and cost of parts, suppliers, etc... Ultimately I decided to go with Electric Vehicles of America, Inc. (http://www.ev-america.com/) for the bulk of my parts. On the few occasions where I really felt like I needed to talk with EVA I had no problems getting in contact with them. From what I understand EV America has been in the EV business for many years and pride themselves on being available for customers. Many OTHER SUPPLIERS out there were not responsive to my queries or could not deliver in a reasonable amount of time. I will try to maintain this post with all of the parts that I procure throughout this project with supplier info.

Parts ordered from EV America totaling roughly $7800 (Many of these parts will now be used in my other Porsche 914 EV project as I have upgraded some of the components):
