Would You Pay to Convert Your Car to All-Electric?
Last night we watched "Who Killed the Electric Car." They said you can get your car converted to all-electric, some specialists will do it for you. However it is between $17K and $30K depending on the battery technology.

Of course all-electric is the way to go. So would you pay to have your gas vehicle converted?

1. I drive such a low number of miles yearly it wouldn't make sense
but if I did decide to pursue a battery-electric vehicle, I would probably attempt the conversion myself, as another DU'er is -->> http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=115&topic_id=80356&mesg_id=80356

2. been looking into things for my pt cruiser...
alterations and adjustments, not yanking the whole power train. have not got responses from contacts yet.

there is a trial in new york city using totally electric cruisers as taxis, not sure how it is going, but I think the cost of
the things are way out there like $50K or more. yuck.

the cruiser is a perfect candidate for hybrid, far as I can see.
