If you happen to have a car that you like, but it eats too much gasoline right now, there is something you can do to make it better. You can convert it into a pure electric car.

It is a complicated procedure and you definitely want to be technically educated person and probably want to have some help from people with proper tools for such car work. But the most complicated part is having experience and information about what you need, where you can get it and what to expect in the process. There is a company in US, where you can seek for help with this.

It’s Metric Mind Corporation - they seem to have all the necessary documentation, experience and parts that you need to get such project going.

One thing to remember when you plan to do conversion: there are many options which you can include into conversion or decide to skip on them for some reason. The only mandatory thing is the electric engine and probably you want power converter.

Your electric car can have batteries, ultracapacitors or both. It can have normal or regenerative breaks. It can have 1 forward gear, standard manual transmission, CVT (continuously variable transmission) or some other kind of automatic transmission. Depending on budget and expectations, you can choose one or another set of options.

Tell me about your experience if you do something like this yourself.
