Slashdot Mirror
Electric Vehicle Kits for the Masses?
Aciel asks: "I just finished watching 'Who Killed the Electric Car', and was quite impressed. I'm too poor to buy anything but an old clunker, and not eager to pollute the atmosphere (or empty my wallet) with gasoline. The movie inspired me: I think I'd like to convert an old car (or perhaps a motorbike) to run on electricity. Have Slashdot readers attempted such a thing before? What experiences have you had, and what would you recommend or not recommend?"
I stopped being interested in compressed air powered cars when I asked a slashdotter who seemed to be in the know to give me some technical information. He exploded into a gigantic ball of rage and hate and told me that it's skeptical people like me who are preventing his project from getting off the ground.
