As of late last fall, my electric Tercel has been disassembled.

The body has been parted out for another Tercel (gasoline) and the electric parts are now in my father’s garage. I hope to someday build another electric vehicle using them, maybe a little aluminum framed summer vehicle.

The project was a lot of fun and taught me a lot. For me, building the car was less about the car itself, and more about getting through a rough time in my life. I hope the fact that my car is no more does not discourage anyone from going at it themselves. Home built EV’s are a great bit of fun and are very worthwhile in the end. I had gotten to the point where I needed to replace the batteries but it did not make sense financially for me and my family to buy a new battery pack. As with everything in life, there is a priority list, and my hobby car did not make the cut this time around.

With that being said, if anyone is interested in the parts that I have (check out the kit components), make an offer and I’m sure I can make you a very good deal. Also, as I’ve been doing, I’ll try and answer any questions that come my way.

Thank you everyone who contributed and supported the ZeroGasoline project.

It is with a heavy heart that I must offer up the ZeroGasoline Tercel for sale. The project has been an amazing experience for me and my family over these past few years. However, changes have brought me to the position where I can no longer give the car the time or money that it deserves.

The car is in proper working order – however it is very near time for the battery pack to be replaced. You can find a complete list of parts on the Costs page in the menu on your left. I would like to sell the car as a whole, but would be willing to sell parts if no one is interested in the complete vehicle. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.

I’d like to get out of it what I put into it, $5000.00, but would be very willing to negotiate that price if “Molly” were to make it to a good home.

Thank you all!
