Hi.

I live in Merimbula NSW, near Bega, and I have a 1987 Mazda 323 manual sedan that I’m attached to. Is there someone out there who will convert it for me? How much would that come to?

Check it out; let’s say you have a 12v panel pushing 500ma. You would need 10 of them in parallel to push 120v at 500ma. However to charge a 120volt system you need at least 132v meaning 11 panels.

So I charge Sparky at 132v and 15 amps and Sparky can fully charge from flat in 8 hours.

By default solar panels receive 4 hours of sunlight on average every day.

You need at least a 3.5 kW instillation to charge a car

hi jeff,

perfomance is amazing and range is geared for 100km (honest).
carmel (the owner) wants to install a zilla giving the car almost 4 times the torque and a 156v upgrade.

Nathan
I love the starion conversion,but I would like to know the range between charges and it it is just city or a highway car, as to it’s performance, also have any cars been converted with an onboard recharging/regenerating system to have unlimited or near unlimited range.
Thank You Jeff

Hi Nathan, I am very interested in what you have done and was wondering if it could be done with a Mazda Astina 323. If so, would I be able to charge it on a 12v solar system?

Hey Nathan,
Thats a really neat install etc,
with this exact car, what is the range of it and can you give a figure of how much to convert it, in otherwords if you were supplied an identical Echo, so as to make life easier for you as you know the best way of doing it what is the cost for conversion?

I’m still very very new to the idea of EV’s and am in my infancy in research.

cheers Matt

Hi, How have you found the Thundersky batteries? I was thinking of buying them for my EV car but have heard realy bad feedback about short lifespans. I’m interested to hear what you think?
