Electric Car Conversions :

Want to stop using those pumps and paying ridiculously high prices for gasoline? Then we may have just the thing for you!
When this first started showing up a few years ago, it would cost upwards of $11,000 dollars to convert a car.
That has all changed now.
Electric car conversions are easier than they ever have been before. And these conversions not only give you good range, but they give you all the power you need and all the ease of use, too.
You can convert your own battery electric car and you won't have to invest more than $500-$1000 dollars. (Even if you're like me and don't even feel comfortable changing the oil)
And if don't feel comfortable doing it yourself, there are companies around the U.S. that will do it for you.
Here’s the list of companies
to get you started:
Some of the companies we have listed below can perform conversions that can (in some cases) go up to 200 miles between charges.
Each of the companies we list here usually either has its specialty vehicle of choice (that they usually work on) or they only sell the parts for a do-it-yourself (DIY) conversion.
Check with them to see what they offer, and remember: If they only provide the parts for conversions, you can still hire a reliable mechanic to perform this work for you (if you don’t want to do it yourself).
