Many people ask us why we started on the mission to convert a gas communter car to electric...
GAS PRICES was one of the first elements that made us start to look into electric cars. Then Sean won the video "Who Killed the Electric Car" from KATY which really allowed us to see that there are alternatives out there, you just have to put forth the effort to make it happen. Then upon doing internet investigation we came to a video online (see link in the box for conversion video) and realized that there is a class that we can take to do it for ourselves. SO WE ARE!!!!
The next step for us was deciding on the car that we want to do. Darlene has always wanted a VW new beetle and we thought it would make a great EV. We then searched out the class and found the one in San Diego for the summer of 2008. It fit in our schedule so we signed up to take the class. It also happened that the instructor was converting the same exact car... a 2000 VW Beetle. See pictures below.....
