74 Build Your Own Electric VehicleAs we are now headed directly towards $5 per gallon as shown on this bumpersticker on the eBox, the electric car is far from being killed (Figure 3-25). In fact, it hasemerged in many different forms and will only increase over time.Fi g u r e 3-23 Who Killed the Electric Car? bumpersticker on an eBox. (How appropriate!)
CHAPTER 4The Best ElectricVehicle for YouPut an electric motor in your chassis and save a bundle.You learned from earlier chapters that electric vehicles are fun to drive, save youmoney as you use them, and help save the planet. The benefit of building/converting your own electric vehicle is that you get this capability at the bestpossible price with the greatest flexibility.In this chapter you’ll learn about electric vehicle purchase trade-offs, conversiontrade-offs, and conversion costs. You’ll find out how to pick the best electric vehicle foryourself today—whether buying, converting, or building.Electric Vehicle Purchase DecisionsWhen you go out to buy an electric vehicle today, you have three choices: buying aready-to-run EV from a major automaker or an EV conversion shop, or buying a usedEV conversion from an individual. Your two most basic considerations are how muchmoney you can spend and how much time you have. Another dimension of yourpurchase trade-off is where (and from whom) you can obtain an electric vehicle. Thissection will present your options and highlight why conversion is your best choice atthis time.Conversions Save You Money and TimeSaving money is an important objective for most people. It’s also logical to assume youwant to arrive at a working electric vehicle in a reasonably short time. When youcombine these two considerations, conversion emerges as the best alternative. Figure4-1 shows you why at a glance. A conversion:• Costs less money than either buying ready-to-run or building from scratch.• Takes less time than building from scratch and only a little more time thanbuying ready-to-run.As you can see in Figure 4-1, buying “used” clearly lowers the cost for that category.However, when you compare equivalent used pricing across all three choices, conversionis still the best alternative.Copyright © 2009 by The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.
