I'm selling a converted ELECTRIC 1974 VW bug.
The vehicle was a project that a few engineering students and I took on a few years back. The car has no gasoline/combustion engine being that it was converted into an electric battery vehicle. It runs on battery power. There is an 120V electric socket that can plug right into any standard home socket to recharge the batteries where the gas nozzle normally is. Though the vehicle is not functioning, it can serve as a platform and guide for your electric vehicle projects, and the parts from the bug can easily be transferred onto any 1960-1979 body.
*PLEASE NOTE The vehicle is not in a ready driving condition.*
There's no AC
no power steering
no power window
no airbags
no spare wheel
no GPS
no power seats
the seat belts are not currently installed.
This is a 1974 bug and not a 2013 bug.
The bug houses:
a clutch-less shifting transmission;
an Alltrax Axe 7245 controller (retails about $600 new);
a Motor AMD 8" #203-06-4001 8" 72-96VDC 17.5HP Series Wound Single Shaft (That retails about $1200 new);
a Zivan NG1 high frequency battery charger.
It runs off of a 2 x 72 parallel configured battery pack (12 x 12-volt deep cycle batteries in the back with their own enclosed compartment) and 2 12-volt accessory batteries in the front compartment.
The charge usually last for about 70 miles and it requires a 5-6 hour recharge.
The car was put into storage somewhat close to the beach and rust developed; the rust ate away a lot of the underside of the vehicle and it will need to be towed on a flatbed for transportation. The body, save for the rust underneathe, is in great condition as shown the pictures. 1960 - 1979 VW Beetle bodies can be found online relatively easily and in good condition. The paint is still intact and there are no breaks or dents in the shell. The inside of the bug is in great condition as well. (also shown in the pictures) The material of the seats is not punctured and the cushioning inside the seats is still very comfortable.
This is a great electric car conversion starter project because this car could easily serve as a guide car for your electric vehicle conversion project and I have digital manuals and diagrams of all the wiring. The whole project took no more than a month for a few college students. The bug saved us easily $200 + on gas every month.
This is not the vehicle for you if you're not capable to repairing or building an electric vehicle- Go buy a Tesla or Chevy Volt. or Nissan Leaf. If however, you have the electrical/engineering skills or are very handy, and you're interested in building your own electric vehicle, this is the vehicle to help you start your project and break your dependence on fossil fuels.

VW ID.4, the new Buick Envision and crossing Hyundai's N Line | Autoblog Podcast #668
Fri, Mar 5 2021In this week's Autoblog Podcast, Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore is joined by Associate Editor Byron Hurd. It's a review-packed episode this week, but it kicks off with a discussion of Volvo's plans to electrify by 2030 and move their EV sales online. From there, they get into Greg's time with VW's game-changing new ID.4 electric crossover. Byron then talks about his time with two very different new vehicles: the 2021 Buick Envision luxury crossover and the 2021 Hyundai Sonata N Line, which may or may not be a sport sedan. Finally, they tackle a fascinatingly complex twitter question: What is the best 'economy' muscle car?

Volkswagen Caddy gets the Alltrack treatment for Frankfurt
Sun, Sep 13 2015We've seen Alltrack versions of the VW Golf and Passat. The German automaker's commercial vehicles division has even done a concept version of the Multivan with a similar treatment. And now it's taking that same rugged off-road approach with the Caddy van. The new Caddy Alltrack starts off with the latest, fourth-generation city van revealed earlier this year in Geneva, and beefs it up to replace the previous Cross Caddy. That comes down principally to black trim on the wheel arches, side sills, bumpers, and underbody protection with metallic accents. It also packs unique 17-inch alloys, fog lights, chrome trim on the grille, silver roof rails, a new optional beige metallic paint (pictured), and Alltrack logos galore. The interior has similarly been worked over with unique trim. Though no mention has been made of any suspension upgrades, the Caddy Alltrack can be specified with 4Motion all-wheel drive. Prospective buyers (in markets where VW offers its commercial vehicles line) will also have to choose between passenger and panel van body-styles, and between four diesel and three gasoline engine options. They range in output from 74 to 123 horsepower and come mated to manual or dual-clutch transmissions with five, six, or seven gears. Look for the new Caddy Alltrack to highlight the Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles display at the Frankfurt Motor Show opening later this week. Related Video: The new Caddy – now available as Alltrack version with off-road styling - World premiere of Cross Caddy successor at IAA 2015 - Fourth generation of the Volkswagen best-seller once again available in rugged off-road style - Passenger car and panel van Alltrack variants optionally available with 4MOTION Hannover/Frankfurt, 10 September 2015 – Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles will be showcasing the latest off-road style version of its best-selling Caddy at the IAA (International Automobile Show) from 15 to 27 September, 2015. The successor to the Cross Caddy is called the Caddy Alltrack. Like its predecessor, it is available both in passenger car and panel van formats. The latest version of the urban delivery van and family MPV is clearly distinct from the other Caddy models with its exclusive 17-inch alloy wheels 'Quito', new Mojave Beige metallic paintwork and optional 4MOTION all-wheel drive technology.
