Find below most of the Frequently Asked Questions I receive on a regular basis. Please have a look through before sending me an enquiry (which I will be more than happy to answer as long as it is not already answered on my website).
The least expensive conversion I know of was done for $1,500. This was a 72 volt, 12 horsepower, Yugo conversion, and many would say, a poor example. While it is certainly a reasonable commuter car, it would never be considered a performance car. Most conversions are done for $10,000 to $15,000. When more "goodies" are added, the more the cost goes up. It also depends on how much repair work the donor car needs.

This depends on many many factors including terrain, speed, temperature, driving style, and of course the design of the car. Most conversions average around 35 to 50 miles, with some less and some much more. A recent pickup conversion with Lithium Ion batteries was able to handle over 120 miles of highway driving on one charge.

There is no "best car" to convert. The vehicle of choice depends on what you want it to do. Porsche 914 conversions tend to be quick and have excellent range, but they aren't much good for hauling a couple of kids to school. Volkswagen Rabbits have room for passengers, but can lack pizzazz. Mini pickups can handle a lot of battery weight, but tend to be rather heavy. Basically, what works for me may not work for you. There are a few general rules. Look for something lightweight with plenty of room inside. Try to avoid anything over 10 years old, because parts availability starts to drop off. Just because a vehicle is free or inexpensive, doesn't make it an ideal conversion. If it was a junky gas car it will be a junky EV too.

Again this depends a lot on the design. Most conversions are fast enough to get a speeding ticket on any highway in the U.S. Acceleration does tend to be slower than the average gas car, with few conversions able to reach 60 in less than 20 seconds, kind of like driving a mini van. On the other hand, some conversions are wickedly quick, and have far more horsepower than they did as gas cars. An electric drag car recently managed 8.100 seconds and 153.6 mph in the quarter mile! That is quick! If your curious about high performance EVs, check out the National Electric Drag Racing Association.
