Would an All-Electric yaris be cheaper in the long run? - Toyota Yaris Forums

bzinn 1 · 01-21-2010, 12:09 AM

my buddy at work bought a datsun last year,not sure but think it is the B210......he got the electric motor and batteries so far,and most the wires and other stuff.......no tranny as the motor bolts up to drive line via a converter of some sort.....

his total investment is under $6000.....and he figures the car will do 12second 1/4miles.......

there are people out there doing electric conversions all over and it is a really cool alternative and honestly the parts are fairly comparabel to fossil fuel drive tranes.......

Electric yaris I would buy......honestly this is about the funnest car I have owned,takes no gas,drives forever,pretty well built,has enough creature comforts to keep me happy,cheap,and looks cool with minor mods liek wheels and tint......
