EV Projects · 30 January 07

Bob out for a drive

As the comments here and my email Inbox can readily attest there’s always quite a few EV projects in the works from all around the world, along with many other folks interested in taking on their own conversion or finding someone to convert a vehicle for them. I suspect when warm weather and higher gas prices return later this year we’ll see an even larger demand!

So I thought I’d share a couple of the photos from the Inbox.

Sitting in my overflowed mail queue from this summer and fall (resend emails if I haven’t answered yet) was a few nice in-progress shots of Joe Porcelli’s 280Z electric conversion.

That was Atom.

Bob's EV · 1 May 06

Bob and his EV

A few days ago I posted a link to a story about Bob Hurst and the EV he made during the 70’s oil crisis.

As chance would have it his son ran across another part of this site a few days later and sent an email suggesting I post something about his Dad’s story.

We exchanged emails and James sent a few photos over for our viewing pleasure.

Update 5/1/06: added some more pictures
