Do EV Conversions for fun, not profit

I’ve been getting a FLOOD of email lately about EV conversions.  I’m happy to answer the email directly, but would be just as glad to have them as comments on the blog so other people can see the questions.  I’m planning to edit and publish the emails on the blog.  They are mostly the same:

• Should I convert my car to be an EV?  If you are passionate about change, not just to save gas.
• Should I buy an EV?  There are few real choices.  Aptera is the most interesting one, but not here yet.  I cannot recommend any NEV.
• I want an EV that goes 50 miles per charge.  Can I do that?  Yes, but it will be expensive (estimate $30k)
• Can you give me plans to convert my car?  Yes, read the blog.  It’s all in the history.
• Is the RAV4 a good EV choice?  Yes, but you need a manual transmission.
• I only have 1 car, should I convert that?  No, I don’t think you should rely on an EV as your only car.
• I have an exact budget using a kit.  What do you think?  Hmmm,  prepare for the unexpected.
