VEVA's First Conversion Course was held at Canadian Electric Vehicles
in January 2008. Over two weekends and with 8 pairs of hands helping, the purple GMC Sonoma shortbed lost its engine
and got a new 9" motor, new pack of 26 US-125 6 volt 230AH batteries, Zilla 1K controller and PFC-20 charger.
Its range is about 80 km on the backroads, somewhat less on the freeway and the city.
VEVA President Don Chandler is the proud new owner of the truck and he says it feels good to not have to buy gas!
A camera crew from Knowledge Network shot a whole lot of footage at our course!
