Vehicle	2001 Volkswagen Beetle
Drivetrain	Standard 5-speed manual gearbox WITH clutch. Convincing people to switch to electric is hard enough without then informing them that they have to 're-learn' how to drive!
Batteries	0.00 Volt,
Heater	Ceramic heater and a redesigned mechanical ventilation with heat recovery (similar to that used in energy-efficient houses).
Top Speed	80 MPH (128 KPH) There is absolutely no need to develop a vehicle that can exceed 80 mph as there's nowhere in the UK that you could use it - other than on a track!
Acceleration	0-60 mph in 9 seconds (approx.)
Range	80 Miles (128 Kilometers) The standard conversion will provide at least 80 miles urban driving.
Seating Capacity	All original seats.
Conversion Time	60-70 hours
Additional Features	We have an extremely cheap retrofitting device that gives the converted vehicle a further 10-25% range over that of the standard conversion. It enables the batteries to be charged when coasting and whilst waiting in traffic. We sell all extracted engine components except for the engine blocks, which we take pleasure in destroying. This is one of the conditions of the conversion and prevents the engine going back out for use. We are also planning a long-range Ford Transit.
How many potential car buyers ask the question "how far will a full tank of fuel get me?". None! The reason being is that there are too many variables to calculate the distance. So why, when talking about EV's do people ask how far a full charge will take them, when there are even more variables to consider! The website will be up and running soon. Pictures to follow.
