  Save the Investigator Electric Vehicle

Investigator 1
                                              Electric Car


In the 70's, Flinders University (here in South Australia) built an electric car. They then expanded on that experience to build another (converted) car and two two Bedford vans which were used as demos and prototypes for EVD (Electric Vehicle Developments). These used 6 original type motors stacked in line to form one unit.

EVD built 3 Bedford vans which went to ETSA, SA Gas and the Department of Mines and Energy. EVD also converted a Toyota HiAce which went to PWD in Victoria. These used the same PCB rotors, but were fitted to a much shorter purpose built unit.

The original car however languished, somewhat into obscurity, without batteries and motor, and of course - no longer running, until a home was found more recently with a member of the SA Branch of the Australian Electric Vehicle Association (AEVA)

But there’s a problem...
AEVA want to see this vehicle return to running condition and, as an association with limited financial resources, we need fundraising support to purchase vital components for this vehicle, that have either perished, broken, been removed or basically rotted away over the years.
