cheers for the advice.guess i will stick with my daewoo matiz conversion.

noticed you can get dc powered revas for less than £3000 .question is is it a worthwhile proposition .

pros and cons. will need a new battery pack how much.also can it be upgraded or is it not worth it.

thinking i could get one to start tinkering with.opinions please.

my first set of trojans 6off scs225 130ah flooded jobs lasted 3000miles.cost £1200 second set of ranger 125ah so called equivalents lasted 1200miles cost £700 now looking at 100ah 72volt lifepo4 last time i checked around 6 months ago cost £3000inc bms. had a quick look and can be had for around $30...
