I just don't understand retrofitting an electric system into a gas car. You'll never recoup the cost of batteries, wiring, drive system and a motor.(unless you keep it and drive it for 15 years!) As well as all the little things that come along that nickel and dime you to death.
Case in point. A owner converted 2001
Ranger on ebay was for sale. Claimed all it needed was "a little work to finish". How he had over 19000 in it with the batteries still needing replaced! Whatever, it never sold . The point is its extremely shortsighted to think that spending money converting to electric will recoup the cost of the the gas you would've spent. In my trucks milage of over 240,000miles ,Ive spent probably about $25000 in gas over the life of my 97 Ranger.
Oh and the other pinto electric guy? yah he has over 30k in his car, its a pure race car and only does 12's! WHAT?? Big whoop. If i had 20000 in my car id be doing 10s safely and driving it to work and back if that what i wanted.
This is just my say and i know im not going to change any greeny weenies out there with my logic. I really am disliking this new world order that is being bestowed upon us "Dinosaurs"
Ive said my peace.
