Car conversions to electric power are on upswing, www.boston.com reported on November 30, 2008.
The article says Wayne Alexander, who’s been converting cars to electric for more than 30 years in his south-central Kansas garage, has his hands full keeping up with demand for his cars while big automakers trying to stay afloat in a cantankerous economy.
The article says Alexander converts about four cars a month, up from about one or two cars a month last year. Alexander charges about $12,500 to convert any car or pickup truck to electric. His cars can normally reach speeds up to 70 miles per hour and can go about 35 miles at that speed on a single charge. They plug into a 110-volt outlet and are recharged in about five hours.
The article also reports a company that sells electric vehicle components has its business grown by about a third since summer.
Of the 240 million vehicles on US roads, about 70,000 are electric, up from about 56,000 in 2005, according to the Electric Drive Transportation Association. The article says.
