Beloved by enthusiasts everywhere, the Pontiac Fiero is the ultimate little American car. This is one of the most affordable and practical electric car conversions you can find. With the right amount of work and determination you can build an electric vehicle (EV) with a range of up to sixty five miles with driving speeds of fifty five to sixty miles per hour at highway speeds. Such an EV can achieve a top speed of over eighty-five miles per hour. You can even travel to work, buy groceries or just drive straight on a lazy Sunday in this luxurious electric vehicle.
Be prepared to invest upwards of $4000 if you have a Pontiac Fiero sent to be retrofitted into an electric car by a professional workshop. One option is to do the conversion yourself in the garage of your home. How do you convert a Fiero back into an EV? This article will provide some useful information on the conversion process.
Step one of the conversions involved removing all of the Pontiac Fiero’s internal combustion engine components and leaving all the wiring for the chassis in place. Be sure to mark this wiring carefully. Keep the original clutch and flywheel, as well as the transmission. This produces a functional car chassis that works except for the fact that the engine and all related systems are missing. Then, clean the chassis to remove all old dirt and grease from the old engine. After all they will not come back.
Most conversions use a manual transmission vehicle for its simplicity. With the internal combustion engine and associated components gone, it’s a simple matter of bolting the electric motor on in its place. One conversion used an advanced nine-inch DC series wound motor, coupled to a flywheel. The original four-speed transmission has been omitted. To eliminate drag on the Fiero, the starter ring is bolted to the flywheel. It’s important to balance the entire assembly before you put it back together. The conversion process replaces virtually every part in which fluid is moving such as the gas tank, fuel lines and radiator along with electrical wiring and connectors.
