Yes, They All Do Electric Vehicle (EV) Conversions

Tuesday July 8, 2008
If you're like us, the thought of how to curtail (or even eliminate) the need to buy petrol has crossed your mind. More than once. And especially in the past months.

Well, one of the great things about this job is the chance we have to keep learning more and more about the opportunities in vehicle-atopia--and in this case, we've been learning about all the companies that have been quietly doing electric car and EV conversions. They've been (cleanly) chuggin' along, taking ole gasoline burners, gutting them and putting in the components necessary for zero-emissions electric motoring. So ... if you have been wondering if it's possible to go electric--and not buy a new car--check out this listing of electric car conversion companies. And please let us know if you've done an electric conversion (and send us a pic!), or if we've missed any companies.
