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.

Although most vehicles can be converted with an electric car conversion kit, note that some models present fewer difficulties than others. Using a model with easily available, cheap spare parts means your conversion work will not go down the drain for lack of parts. Use a model with a manual transmission, since an automatic transmission is not necessary in an electric car. A manual transmission is cheaper and easier to convert.
