You would be better off making them from scratch.

You would have to take the engine out, mount a bank of batteries, mount a electric motor, figure the transmission and differential out.

Oh! and don't forget that you have to plug it in at night to charge, and the power companies burn coal... So forget about calling it "green"

There are very few old cars that could be retrofitted. The donor car should have mechanical brakes, not power, mechanical steering, not power, and no AC.

I think there is a small market for it, but widespread conversion opportunity's will not happen until higher energy density batteries become available at a competitive price.

So far there are only few markets of it. You should find something that might prosper your business. You can start with car parts first.

He is clear in what He asks and clear in what He offers. The choice is up to us.Isn't it incredible that [Only registered users with more than 5 posts can see links. ] God leaves the choice up to us? Think about it. There are many things in life we can't choose. We can't, for [Only registered users with more than 5 posts can see links. ] example, choose the weather. We can't control the economy.We can't choose whether or not we are [Only registered users with more than 5 posts can see links. ] born with a big nose or blue eyes or a lot hair. We can't even choose how people respond to us. But we [Only registered users with more than 5 posts can see links. ] can choose where we spend eternity.
