Reply ↓ ↑ report 6 CaramelZappa 3:20AM (4/23/2009) Yea, you COULD convert a lotus for $10k but the conversion wouldnt be terribly satisfying. This is only useful after your on some other renewable source of electricity or using nuclear. As more renewables come online, battery electrics just keep getting cleaner and greener.
