And now for something completely different! This is a stunning
example of a 1969 Saab Sonett V4 that has been converted to an
electric vehicle. Expertly upgraded by its current owner (Kriss
Motors), this car is truly unique (well, there is one other) and
offers a smooth quiet ride wherever it goes. Overall this car is
exceptional and is ready for a new home.
The electric conversion of this Sonett uses LiFePO4 battery
chemistry that slightly differs from Tesla lithium technology.
These batteries do not suffer from a heat runaway effect and thus
do not require a sophisticated battery management system. On the
other hand, these large prismatic cells - they resemble old
fashioned phone books - are not as energy dense, and therefore
vehicle range is somewhat reduced. Range on a full charge is
approximately 60 miles.
The alternating current electric motor is configured to provide
regenerative braking via a 5-volt control circuit. In contrast to
commercially manufactured EVs like the Tesla, our vehicle runs at a
relatively low voltage - around 125v - and is easily recharged with
typical 120VAC household current so no special charging station or
equipment is required. The car utilizes its original 4 speed column
shift transmission which is mated to the electric powerplant.
This 1969 Saab Sonett is this owners original car which he
repurchased by chance when embarking on this adventure. The paint
is superb and was finished by a well respected professional. The
interior is in great condition and the gauges etc have been
upgraded to reflect the EV conversion. The odometer reads 716 miles
since completion of the restoration/conversion and essentially the
car is new and in better condition than it was the day it
originally left the factory.
This Saab Sonett is exceptional in every way and you will see from
the gallery photographs that absolutely no expense was spared in
completion of this project. From the purchase of the original
condition car, this project has taken years, considerable expense
and masterful craftmanship that has resulted in this stunning
automobile. The restoration/conversion project itself is
meticulously detailed all of which will be provided to the new
owner of the car for their records, Access to the complete
restoration documentation can also be made available upon
request.
