Welcome to my first EV conversion project blog!

Now that I have installed solar panels on my roof and am generating more electricity then I use, I would like to use the totally renewable energy to charge a ZERO emission electric plugin car. Thus, freeing myself of my dependence on gasoline, not to mention the benefits to the environment.

If I had the money, I would just get one of these.

But I am still a ways from being able to afford one of these, so I will convert an existing gasoline car to an all electric plugin car.

However, in order to replace my gasoline car for most of my daily driving, my plug-in electric needs to achieve a range of 80-100 miles on a single charge with mostly freeway driving. This will allow me to get to and from work everyday as well as give me the flexibility to get around most of the Bay Area from my centrally located home in Castro Valley, CA.

Feel free to leave me a comment if you have questions about any content on my blog, my goal is to share with as many people as I can; perhaps it will motivate others to build their own EVs that run on sustainable, clean energy sources.
