Electro Automotive

Jan 17 2009 Electric Car Conversion workshop held by Electo Automotive

I'm really interested in learning about the electric conversions being done. This workshop was informative and really brought into perspective just what it takes to actually do a full conversion. I learned about the parts, the process, the cost, environment impact and economical benefits of driving EV's. Mike and Shari at Electo Automotive have been doing electric conversions on VW's and Porches for years. These days they mostly supply the parts needed to do conversions and sub out the actual hands on conversion process to local mechanics. The most specialized part of most conversions is the transmission adaptor plate. Mike has done hundreds and has one of the biggest libraries of specifications they can fabricate for different vehicles.

    Buyers beware of doing business with Electro Automotive. Check their BBB rating and multitude of unresolved complaints filed by customers who've been ripped off.
