Electric Car Conversion Kit

Electric Car Conversion Kit? What's that. Well the other day while I was surfing online I came across a site about converting your gas guzzler into a low cost green machine! Ever since reading a bit about it I have become almost obsessed with it.

On my way to the grocery store today I found myself thinking that there is no reason why I couldn't use an electric car conversion kit to transform my old Ford Ranger into an electric vehicle that I can use for the short jaunts about town.

Electric Car Conversion Kit - Advantages And Perks

I discovered that an electric car conversion kit or not even necessarily a kit but just the information and instructions about how to convert my vehicle to an electric vehicle would allow me to do the following:

1- Eliminate the engine and all of the repairs and upkeep that go with it.

2- Get rid of the gas tank.

3- Get rid of the exhaust pipe and muffler. Yeah no more muffler shop bills every 3 years or so.

4- No more stops at the gas station except of course for when I get the munchies.

5- Eliminate oil changes. No engine no oil.

6- Save $$$$$ !!!!


These are just a few advantages that I thought of off the top of my head I am sure there are tons more. Anyway picking up detailed instructions or a full blown electric car conversion kit is sounding more and more appealing.

Detailed Electric Car Instruction Manual Or Full Blown Electric Car Conversion Kit?

For me, after seeing the price tag for a full blown electric car conversion kit versus the price for an electric car conversion manual the decision was a no brainer. The conversion manual was very cost effective.

I have read about people spending $12000 to convert their vehicles to electric vehicles (EV). But I also found people that spent less than $800 to do it. The difference......a lot of money. If you do it yourself with detailed instructions and a used motor and batteries you can make it very affordable, less than a grand.

This brings me to the source of information that I found:

This manual is a great source of information that even tells you where to source used parts and batteries for free or a lower cost. The couple that put the information together having been living the green life for many years and are willing to help those of us trying to convert.

Just finished our project car, the Toyota, just like you suggested worked great. It feels so good to drive by those gas stations, our range per charge is just over 100 miles, which is great. We are now working on the off road vehicle conversion you suggested.
