Project Electric 106

[Eeyore]

If you want lead acid batteries I've got one or 2 that work OK in the garage that were only going to go for scrap but id mount them on a frame under the boot.

I would mount a flywheel and clutch on the engine to make it easier to control the speed and economy.

This will never be cheap or light. If you are looking for something top do just because you can then fine but if you want to save money think of how far you could drive a 106nad on the £2k that will cost to do your conversion.

You could run the vac pump and alternator off a toothed gear off the fly wheel.

Its basically an idea to do just to do it. Not because I want cheap motoring. Ill have to look into a flywheel and clutch but tbh just a solid drive to the motor should be okay. Having a flywheel would improve economy but also increase wear on brakes etc having to stop that weight every time. I think :S. No alternator for this as its got a seperate 12v battery to power all the normal electrics. Vac pump will be electric too.

Also just for reference this is the dash in a 106 electrique.



there is no gear stick



and it also has two horns. One normal one for beeping cars and another for beeping pedestrians who didnt hear you coming because youre electric!



and they had a small petrol heater so you still had all your lovely heating.

Batteries are one above the motor under bonnet and one at the rear where the spare wheel normally goes. Traction batteries are 120v fuel tank is made smaller about 6ltrs this is for the webasto petrol water heater so that your heating is the same as a normal 106

and from wikipedia....

In 1995, Peugeot launched an electric powered version of the 106, called the 106 Electrique.[3] This was offered in a number of European countries including France, Belgium, The Netherlands, Norway and the United Kingdom.
The electric powertrain was developed and built by French engineering company Heuliez. The car used Nickel-cadmium battery technology manufactured by Saft Groupe S.A., had a top speed of 56 mph (90 km/h) and had an official range of 100 km (62 mi).
Despite the high price of the vehicle, Peugeot anticipated demand for around 15,000–20,000 Peugeot 106 Electriques each year, with an expected total production run of 100,000 vehicles.[4] In the end only 6,400 Peugeot 106 Electriques were sold between 1995 and 2003, most purchased by the French Administration.
