Then there's the price to consider in these new cars. For most of us who are priced out of our range. The $ 35.000 to $ 50.000 which are for a lot, especially in these times. There are a few that fell below that point, about $ 15,000.
If that price is still out of reach for you and you still want to join the club of the electric car, you might consider your own electric car at home. You need some time, you need a little knowledge or experience, you need some kind of shop with basic tools, but above all, as with anything worthwhile, would have some desire, and as always, you need some the green stuff (money) to go green, for less than a new electric car. We call the 5 "that should be some" to end their home built electric car.
Let's start with "You need time." First, you need to decide what car or truck you want to convert into electricity. By the way, here in Kansas to call a truck, a van, not a truck. A van of my definition is a small vehicle with less than 1 ton rated for light transport purposes. A lorry used to transport heavy loads that require more suspension and capacity. Hope it is not confusing to you. Anyway, all electric cars have a certain amount of weight to carry the batteries and electric motor, and other components. The best batteries equals more distance between charges. That is why small trucks better job, electrical conversions. If you shop around, you can find a small pickup truck, used with a "bad" engine and replace the engine with the electric motor. This will definitely save a lot of money.
