Well now there’s an easy way to do it in the form of a conversion kit that takes an e-bike and turns it into something of a snowmobile with the inclusion of a snow track kit. For power, I guess you run your throttle back to the new controller, though that’s another reason just to start this build from scratch. Tank tracks!”

Some time ago we were approached by a City Municipality that was in the process of doing a fleet conversion of their gas vehicles to electric. We chose these transmissions because of the availability of a Low Gear Planetary set and the fact that we can custom build them to handle 1000+HP if necessary. See Attachments below).

My professional life has kept me busy, but I still have made good progress on my conversion. But in the theme of remaining true to my build philosophy, it is fully capable of handling my actual driving conditions, but doesn't exceed it by far. I am not building a dragster. This is a 6.7" I have yet to see photos.

If I was to build my spit for here with top speed of 50mph and say 25 to 50 mile range. I'm trying to decide if I was to go with another gas engine or turn it into a electric car. If I go gas it will probably cost me $2000 or so. I was hoping someone would give my an idea of the cost of going electric. Around town here it is flat terran.

Hi everyone, It has been a while since I last posted. Some of you may remember my previous projects which were budget minded autocross centred EVs. Since then our governing body has closed the gate on EVs and there is no glimmer of hope for the foreseeable future for electric vehicles under them. So my last chassis is going into retirement.

Conversions are mostly for the Prius, with a few for the Ford Escape/Mercury Mariner hybrid SUVs. At that point, we expect the aftermarket companies prices to have come down sufficiently so that their conversions will be attractive to owners of hundreds of thousands of hybrids already on the road. So far, most start as hybrids.

Imagine the Siri voice or the Alexa voice; it’s like that, but rather than being an AI that you’re having a conversation with, it moves all the functionality of the computer from the mouse. It said, “ Image may contain adults standing in front of a building.” These days, the speech is a good synthetic voice.

Chrysler isnt the first to realize that building an EV off of a Lotus platform makes for an incredibly fast and fun experience (see also: Tesla Roadster ) We escaped from the dark confines of Cobo Hall onto a decently sunny day and cruised along the river and past the Ren Cen, gunning the Circuit whenever possible. Its a Lotus.

I imagine there will be tax incentives to build green generators when were at that stage. Once electric cars are more common, demand for electricity will rise, and electricity producers will have to look at big generators such as dams, nuclear stations or decentralised wind turbines that feed in to the grid. However, I dont welcome this news.

It is thought that the cars that Renault is building to function with the Better Place model will have the ability to have its power supply swapped and the newly announced Tesla Model S is said to also incorporate this concept. You could sit in your vehicle while the operation takes place. Hey, maybe you got an email during the drive, right?
