You can convert most cars to 100% electric power right?

I wonder how much motor swaps cost?

I remember seeing an electric 240 on TV.

It depends. You can buy kits that will fully convert a VW beetle for around $3000 and it will have approx 40hp. The kits are certainly out there.

Thats less than I would of thought.

I found this too.

Here, this is where I was looking into buying a motor from…

The top motor yields 90hp. Not too shabby.

Well I went and looked at it in person.
The gloss black plastic makes it look cheap.
It is bigger than I thought it would be.
I will have to bring my camera tomorrow and take pics since there are more concepts down there as well.

I will take the VW for $4200.
For now I will use my 200mpg Subaru.
