Do you want to convert a small car or light pickup to electric?

  

Well, there are some things you need to know to complete the conversion successfully with as little wasted time and money as possible. Realistic expectations must be set before you begin. Take time to read the FAQs and key articles that I have placed in the Library.

 

 

 

Study this entire Web site carefully before you begin your conversion!

 

Just before Christmas of 2006, I finished the conversion of a 1998 Chevy S10 pickup truck (below).  It used to have a 2.2 l., 4 cyl. engine and it still has the 5-speed manual transmission with clutch – see the S10 Conversion page.
