~BEAUTIFUL CAR! 4 PASSENGER, LOTS OF FUN! CHECK OUT THE PICTURES! NOT A LSV (Low Speed Vehicle) BUT HAS FULL REGISTRATION / MICHIGAN TITLE AND TEXAS DOT CERTIFICATION! Some of these cars have LSV titles which mean they are stuck with the restrictions associated with that. Top speeds and neighborhood only type stuff. This DOES NOT have that type of registration. GREAT CONDITION 2007 XDV 4030 4 Passenger 100% Electric Vehicle. Fully Factory Dedicated BEV (Battery Electric Vehicle). Not a conversion from a gas vehicle or one that was built to run on gas. This was 100% built to be electric from the ground up. She also has the Texas Department of Transportation Certificate and a full State of Michigan Title and Registration. No Speed Limitations (LSV500) law applies too this vehicle. Car runs better than new as some upgrades were done by me to improve performance and enhance usability. She is ready to be a little "tire burner" of sorts if you so wish to finish the process and at 1600 lbs total vehicle weight, you could really make this car MOVE! She only has 2500 miles on her which I personally put on it over the last two years (stored over winter). I used it everyday (literally, I used this car EVERYDAY) for my around town jaunts too the post office, 7-11, kids to softball, crash the occasional car show (100 times more fun than it sounds), etc and she has not one time gave me any trouble. The body is STEEL and not fiberglass. This is one of the main reasons I chose this car over other options. I wanted a 4 passenger vehicle with a steel body and this one had both (albeit the rear seat is small, I’m 6,1 & 250 lbs" and have gotten back there but it is not easy. Younger kids fit just fine). The viper seats do not dump forward but go straight up. The forward and backward tracks work o.k. but take some effort. Check out the amazing lot of pictures I attached of this car (sorry dialup users, it's going to take a while to load, there are over 40+ pictures attached) Features: Leather Dodge Viper Blue Stitch Seats (heat equipped, not hooked up)Don't Ask how much these cost, VERY EXPENSIVE! 4 X Flooded Lead Acid 12 Volt Traction Pack (0 front, 0 rear, 4 under seat all hooked together) - There is room for 4 MORE Batteries for added power! Originally this vehicle had 8 X 6 Volt Batteries. The Pack is 48 Volt Total Pack Voltage @ 800 Amps. (install 8 optima yellow tops and you'll be pushing the better half of 2200 amps - limited by the controller output to 700amps of course, unless you upgrade that, they have them all the way up to 1000 amps which is for drag racing EV applications) Upgraded 2/0 Fine Strand Welding Cable Inter-Battery Traction Wiring (capable of starting the space shuttle if so desired, about 4 times as thick as necessary but I did not want to ever worry about loosing power or generating heat via the cables) Ends were professionally crimped. Upgraded 4 X Energizer 12 Volt Deep Cycle Batteries for 48 Volts @ 800 Amps Upgraded 700 Amp Logisys Controller (stock was a 225 amp Curtis) Upgraded 400 Amp Reversing Contactor with Safety Blowouts Upgraded 400 Amp Main Contactor with Safety Blowouts In Dash Pyrometer with remote for motor temperature monitoring In Dash Pioneer CD Player with Dual Back Speakers (factory radio was not very good) sound is crappy but all I listen too is NPR. Looses setting when vehicle is turned off. May need some tending too, im no radio guy, just like too listen to the news and npr. Upgraded Blue Flame Gas and Brake Pedals PERFORMANCE / SPECS Acceleration: In it's current state, the car has a top speed of about 35 mph, it has gone up to 40 mph but the was on a slight downhill grade and in summertime. However, from 25 to 35 takes a while on a flat surface, 0 - 25 is pretty quick. She has a 48 volt traction pack, 48 volt onboard fully integrated charger with indicator light (3 hr charge time from 1/2 depletion) and an integrated DC to DC converter for the 12 volt low power system. The car is fully contained in that everything is inside, no outside charger or anything too hookup. the plug in the front became increasingly difficult too remove so I just leave it in and drape it over the wiper. Too many people mistake it for a smart car but not when they see a 110 volt plug in front! Turning Radius: On a dime almost, you can turn it around in just about any space, about 1/2 what a typical gas powered vehicle can do. I can make 360 degree turns in my driveway! Handling: Pretty darn good, she's only 1600 lbs and 400 lbs of that is the batteries. They are all low in the frame so she will hug a turn good. The batteries are spread out so the center of gravity is close if not dead center. No under steer or over steer as I can tell. The front strut bushings were replaced with high performance polyurethane ones. I believe there is a problem with the front right strut, it seems to work fine but makes noise on hard bumps in the heat of summer. Braking: She has 4 Wheel Drum Brakes, the trade-off I had to make for this particular model. This model (4 pass steel body) only comes with drum brakes. I really like disk brakes but the drums seem to work fine. There is air in the line as I have too pump them a couple times when I first start driving but plan on taking it in for a full system bleed. Mileage: Charge costs vary but it's approx one penny per mile to operate. For the price of 1 slurpee I drive around all week. I noticed NO increase in my electric bill at all and have had this vehicle for a while now. I usually charge it once a week sometimes twice depending on how far I go. I have never Bottomed out the pack, I usually charge when she's about 1/2 empty. I did take it too the downriver cruise last year (check the special section in the newspaper online, they took a pic of the car and put it in there right in the middle color section) I drove her all day long and half the night and only used up about 1/2 the pack by the time I got home. When my Dodge Ram 1500 Hemi was my ONLY vehicle I would fill up every Sunday eve for the week. I pretty much burned one tank every week. During the summer I managed with little effort to go 2 1/2 to 3 weeks on one tank in my Ram by offloading all my local runs to this little EV. I would just take my truck to and from work and it would sit all weekend long. I do all my local runarounds with this EV and man, I think I may have saved about $2500+ last spring and summer (not too mention the fact what it did for the environment). I went from $100 per week worth of gas to $100 per 3 WEEKS! My kids, the neighbors, the whole community in which I live just love this thing. You can pull up to a car show with 40+ $20,000 hot rods and people will swarm your little electric car. here in Michigan there are car shows all over and it's quite a kick too see what a stir an electric car can make. In the middle of the summer I would go to home depot and come out to 4 or 5 people checking out my car. Anyone can make a gas-powered hot rod but toss 8 batteries in a car and drive around all week for the price of a cup of coffee, now that's a feat! This is not a good choice to replace your prius, it is a car in that it has everything a car has but your not going to be able to hop in and drive long distances or keep up with traffic even in 35 mph zones without adding more amps too the pack, this is easy to do as the controller has already been upgraded. I live in a suburb of Detroit in a nice town and yet even when traffic is running at 35 i'm very careful not too slow people down and I feel like I do sometimes, I judge the lights and pop in and out of the 35 mph traffic but I'm also careful not too get in anyone's way. As stated before in the auction she wil do 35 mph but in my opnion it's not something that will get up too 35 mph fast enough in normal gas car driving. You can very well easily get it to do so with a battery upgrade. CHARGING: From about 1/2 DOD (depth of discharge) it takes around 2-3 hours too bring back too full. She plugs right into a 110V 15amp outlet via the cord in the front. I don't remove it as it got stuck it there and I just leave it in. There's a green light that flashes on the dashboard when it's charging and stays steady when fully charged. UPGRADEABLILTY: O.K. If one were so inclined, you could replace the 4 800 amp 12 volt flooded lead traction pack batteries with 8 Optima Yellow Top 12 Volt Sealed Lead Acid ones. Wired in series with 2 strings to equal 48 volts @ 2200 amps. Range by my estimations would increase from 50 miles to around 80-90 miles minimum based on weight, speed, etc (rough estimation, may be longer based on the fact that the current energizer FLA's (sorry, flooded lead acid batteries) installed are decent but not great and the Optima's are arguably the best battery money can buy). The controller will have 2200 amps available to it but can only output 700 amps. Bigger tires or a gearing change and it would be more than enough to propel the car to 50+ mph currently and with an upgraded motor 100+ mph. It's always been my intention to keep it at 48 volts so I can utilize the factory charger and inverter. Amps are pretty much what gets you up and going down the road and the more amps, the faster you go and the quicker you get up too speed. if currently 210 amps gets you to 35mph then around 400 amps should not be a prob to go 45 mph or so, 700+ amps it's hard to say what will happen. SAFETY: She has full seatbelts for all passengers (no retracts) and the traction pack uses a contactor to energize the system. No amperage / voltage is present past the batteries UNITL the pedal is depressed. It's an automatic switch of sorts that sometimes is refered to as high pedal disable. The power loop is totally isolated within itself and the motor. The main contactor cuts the loop of power when the pedal is up therby disabling high power throughout the vehicle past the batteries. The prius has it too and is the audible "click" when you depress the accelerator when in EV mode. In case your wondering the majority of the electronics and controller are located behind the rear seat below the back window. There's an access panel from inside the vehicle. The inverter and charger are under the dashboard. 90% of the cabin space is usable as there's no engine, transmission, gas tank, etc, none of that crap associated with an Internal Combustion Vehicle. *Replacement Items* *Shipping Options* Driveway Delivery via Truck Transport Originally, I got her too me for around $500 from Texas, so it's kind of hard for me too give a firm price. I'll break it down by section so to try to save the winning bidder some money on shipping (why should a person in Chicago pay the same rate someone in say, Oregon?) Region 1 - Midwest and Northeast - $250 Flat Rate Region 2 - Southeast - $350 Flat Rate Region 3 - Southwest - $450 Flat Rate Region 4 - West Coast - $550 Flat Rate I will do and assume all the legwork on this end for getting it too you, I will find and contract a vehicle shipper to transport. Please understand though that it's not my shipper and not your shipper, It's "the" shipper that we use to get it from me to you. I cannot be held responsible for something happening enroute. You will need to make the proper arriangements on your end too recieve the vehicle when it arrives. The title and all the documentation have to ride with the vehicle and will be properly stowed inside (I guess that's a law that it must). I'll have copies so if there's an issue we can help deal with it. *The Shipping Process* After payment has been received we will find an appropriate bonded / insured service to transport. *Payment* We gladly accept Paypal for a deposit of no less than $500 within a week after auctions end. The balance due in Money Order or Cashiers Check. *Support* I will offer free Email support for as long as you own it. I know this vehicle very well and will assist in any questions and / or concerns. I have helped others with thier electric vehicles as well and can provide contacts and refrences if you wish to find out how much I do help people I don't even know with thier EV issues. We are all together on this earth weather we like it or not and this is a techonology that I firmly believe will revolutize the U.S. economy as well as the Environment (i'm ranting again, sorry) Regardless of gas prices we all pretty much know that ICE (internal combustion engine) cars and trucks will have to go away, planes and semi's will take a looong time for the technology to catch up with them but hey, if we all had electric cars and all we needed fossil fuel for was planes, semi's, the military, and other extremely heavy machinery our own U.S. resources would support it no problem. Someone has to take the first step and when asked locally what inspired me to get such a vehicle it was always my response, someone has to get the "first" one before we all will have one. It's been a long and fun spring, summer and fall last year with this vehicle and it's time for someone else too enjoy it. I will be getting another electric vehicle down the road for sure but for now I must part with this one. I'm not happy about it at all but I have my reasons why I must (michigan economy). The best bit of advise I would suppose would be to reccomend that the high bidder be at least handy and familiar with working on cars (electric cars not nessary, I had no EV knowlege at all). It's so incredibly simple it's sick, she's like a big cordless drill, batteries, controller and a motor is pretty simple. Please also understand and know that the vehicle itself was manufactured in China so the fit and finish is not all that great. Yes, the doors shut and the windows roll down and all that but it's pretty cheap in it's construction. It's not like Ford, GM or Chrysler would do it if they ever would build an EV :') - nudge nudge wink wink - Or, at least, one we could actually drive and buy. This you can buy and drive! every gallon's worth gas you save is 19 pounds of CO2 not going out in the atmosphere and at a penny a mile too drive, you'll be sparing us allot of pollution and saving a bunch of money! | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
