Hello,
I am playing with the idea to buy a used A2 with no engine/or high mileage and convert it to an electric vehicle.
Since weight is a significant factor when you aim to get max mileage/charge the A2 seems to be a very interesting alternative as a so called donor car.
Questions:
1. Does anyone know if this has already been done?
2. Is it possible to get some drawings somewhere on the A2's internal structure and measurements: Engine bay, gasoline-tank, transmission, flywheel size etc...? I need this to be able to figure out what kind of electrical engine would fit and how I can integrate the batteries and controller.
I am by the way aiming to keep the cooling system to be used for cooling the battery pack and the engine/controller.
It would be fun to get some input or ideas from you people...!
