[Greenbuilding] [BULK] Re: I gotcher donor car right here

[Lawrence Lile]

Well, it isn't my Truck. I am seriously considering an electric
conversion in next year's budget.  I think one of our folks in the
Northeast was complaining there are no good used vehicles in their area
because of salt and rust.  No salt in Phoenix! 

About $8000 - $12000 will convert a small pickup to electric, the higher
figure will get you better batteries, more range, or pay someone else to
do all the hard work, the lower figure will get you going provided you
have 40-100 hours of free time to spare and a well-equipped shop.

Hey Lawrence,

I have a Chevy S-10 Blazer that still runs, so far.  How hard would 
it be to convert it to electric?

That's a mighty fine price you got on your truck there.  :--)
