This kit includes all that is needed for a straight forward installation. All you'll need is a donor car and some elbow grease, and then you'll be driving your car up to 60MPH (70 mph theoretical), for a range of 25 to 35 miles depending on your driving. I drive it daily to work and back, and plug it in at night for a recharge. It is amazing how quick and smooth this Beetle drives, not to mention that the motor doesn't make a sound.... what a welcomed change. Most of what you will have to do is run wire, and find a way to safely install the batteries into the car.</span></span></p> <p><span editor_id="mce_editor_0" style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;" ><span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;" >This kit uses your existing transaxle.
