Would I do it again? Yes, No, and Pretty Please

Someone asked me at a holiday party if I would do another conversion. It was not a simple question to answer now that I have a working EV. I would love the learning and discovery of converting another car, but I doubt that I will.

I’m am very glad to have an EV to drive and have gotten comfortable with it’s limitations. However, to repeat the experience, I would want to take it up a notch and go for an AC motor with lithium batteries. That type of system would run about $30k and I could not justify putting that into a beat-up glider. That means spending something like $20k (or more) for a nice car. I’m just not willing to spend $50k on a car no matter how green.

All this is subject to change since my 6 year old daughter has already informed me that we are building a car together when she is old enough to drive. How can I argue with that!
