subject: Benefits Of The Electric Car Conversions [print this page] With the growing environmental concerns and impending shortage of fuel added with the day by day increasing prices more and more people are looking for other options. If you have enough money you can go for a new hybrid or electric car, but if you are financially uncomfortable or love your present car too much to part from it, there are other options that can allow you to keep your present car and draw the benefits of an electric car. This is done by using an electric car conversion kit.
Electric powered cars can save you a lot since you will be using electric power instead of gas. But for some people, buying a new electric powered car is way too expensive. And it will also be the same if you hire an expert to convert your gas powered car to electric. It would probably cost you around $4,000 to $10,000 just to do the conversion.
Luckily, there is an electric car conversion kit available in the market today. You can just purchase the kit and do the conversion yourself. The kit includes an easy to follow instruction manual for to make the conversion easier. This kit usually cost less than $100.
You just need to have the right tools and equipments to do the conversion easier. These tools can be bought at an affordable price and some may even come for free. The guide goes over what tools you'll need for the job in detail.
Other benefits include the 200 miles for one full charge on your electric car, and lower maintenance costs. You will also have a better ride which is more comfortable and quieter. No more of those gas guzzling rumbling or roaring noise. It may not go as fast as a gasoline car, but if you live in the city, you can['t really go fast anyway. If you live in the suburbs, there is always a speed limit as well. Traveling down a highway is not going to be a quick trip, but at least you get to enjoy the view. Otherwise, if you need to reach somewhere quickly, just take a bus, train, or plane.
You can actually do the electric car conversion on your own, and it's not as difficult as you may think it to be. Of course, you can pay a mechanic or a shop to do it for, but it will cost you more. The choice is not a major issue whether you have the money to spend or not. It's really a matter of personal satisfaction and time constraints.
The point is you are moving in the right direction, and the sooner you get started, the less chances of being caught in the flurry of electric car conversions that will happen.
