1984 Mazda long bed truck EV conversion project.

I went as far as I could on this conversion project.
I spent about a year on it so far and I am running out
of time and funds to continue any further.  If you are
considering starting a conversion project, this will
probably be the low cost option in terms of effort
and cash outlay.  Asking $3500 for everything.

At this point, the truck will drive 15 to 20 mph and
therefore it is not ready to drive in traffic yet.  
The next step probably is to get a bigger control box.

What is included:
1.  1984 Mazda long-bed pickup truck, without the engine,
    exhaust pipe, or the gas tank.  (workshop manual included).
2.  15 HP 3 phase electric motor (already mounted into
    the truck without the clutch).
    US Motors Unimount Model #: A928
    Specs from www.usmotors.com/default_ecatalog.htm
3.  15 HP Hitachi 3 phase inverter (user manual included).
    google L300P.pdf to see the users manual.  Detailed info from:
    http://www.hitachi-america.us/products/business/inverters/ac_variable_speed_drives/l300p/index.html
    Purchased from www.driveswarehouse.com.
4.  20 Mega-tron deep cycle green top batteries (SLA).
    All batteries less then one year old, charged maybe a total 
    of 3 times for test runs.
5.  Simple charger to charge the batteries from standard
    electrical outlet.  (No BMS of any sort).
6.  Regenerative power is used to charge batteries when 
    travelling downhill.

It doesn't have a DC to DC converter to charge the accessory
battery.  You will need a separate charger to charge it.
It doesn't have a vacuum pump for the brakes.

If you are interested please call me at 503-750-8278.  Feel free 
to forward this msg to any interested parties.
