How much does it cost to do an electric car conversion? Well, it used to cost anywhere from $5,000 to $10,000. But not anymore. New electric car technology has made it much cheaper. The conversion is also easier to do than it used to be. You no longer need to be a super-mechanic.
This is a great time to convert your gas-guzzler into an electric powered vehicle. The New York Times just reported that an electric car infrastructure covering the whole country is in the works right now. Not only that, but you'll be able to specify which source of energy you want. "Will you have wind, sun, or coal energy power your car battery, sir...?" It might sound crazy, but Forbes magazine says this scenario could become a reality in as little as two years!
But you can build your own electric car right now. There are many electric car conversion kits available online. They cost anywhere from $35 to $50. These sets of instructions are easy to download, so once you purchase one you're ready to start work immediately.
