Converting a regular car into a electric car means taking out the gas engine and replacing it with an electric engine and a lot of batteries. This process can be done by anyone in the comfort of their own home or garage. The batteries will need to be replaced once about every three to four years but fuel costs will be down roughly 75%. While fueling vehicles doesn't take more than five minutes it will take your new electric vehicle roughly six hours to charge.
