my electric "kancil"..

A famous city car in Malaysia, the Perodua Kancil, was chosen for conversion into a fully electric vehicle due to its light weight. The 660 cc (1997 model), three cylinder carbureted engine rated at 31 Hp (22.1KW) was replaced with a 48-72V separately excited DC motor rated at 8KW continuous and 20KW peak.
