Build your own Electric Car! They are not all equal. I was looking for something lightweight, with no power anything. Heavier cars need more energy to push down the road, thus limiting your range on batteries. Things like power steering and power brakes run off the engine, which is going to be removed anyways, rendering them useless. Power windows and locks add weight and complexity to the vehicle. I ended up finding a Geo Metro for sale, for $5. The engine ran fine, and the body wasn't too bad, but I couldn't drive it home because the clutch was messed up. Oh well, this conversion isn't going to use a clutch anyways! Make sure the car doesn't have anything major wrong with it (other than maybe a blown engine!) You want to do a Conversion, not a Restoration!
