An electric car conversion kit, what is it? Well the other day while I was out and around town I came across some pamphlets in my local coffee shop about converting your gas -guzzler into a low cost green machine also known as an earth friendly car. The kit is essentially a package that you can purchase to convert your combustible engine car into a greener alternative electric motor driven car. Ever since reading a bit more about it I have become almost preoccupied with it.

On my way to the food store yesterday I found myself thinking that there is no reason why I couldn't use an electric car conversion kit to transform my old Toyota Camry into an electric vehicle that I can drive for the short errands about town.

I discovered that an electric car conversion kit or not even necessarily a kit but just the information and directions on how to convert my vehicle to an electric vehicle would allow me to do the following:

1- Get rid of the combustible fuel engine and all of the upkeep and bills that are included with it.

2- Get rid of the gas tank.

3- Tear off and dump the muffler and exhaust system. Yippee no more replacing the exhaust.

4- Never have to stop for gas again!

5- Stop paying for oil changes. Fewer moving parts-no oil.

6- Save a lot of money in upkeep and repair bills.

These are just a few perks and advantagesthat I thought of off the top of my head. I am sure there are a ton more. Anyway picking up detailed directions or a full-blown electric car conversion kit is sounding more and more the way to go.

For me, after seeing the price tag for a entire kit versus the price tag for a conversion manual the selection was a no-brainer. The manual was very cheap.

I have heard about people blowing $12000 to convert their vehicles to electric vehicles (EV). But I also found people that spent less than eight hundred dollars to do it. The difference is a lot of dough. If you do it yourself with detailed directions and a used motor and batteries you can make it very cheaply, less than a thousand dollars.
