Question

Where can I get the best info to convert a lite truck into a electric vehicle.?

Answer 1

Why would you want to?

Electric Cars have a very small range, and just moves most of the pollution from your location to the power plant location that provided the power for you to charge.

Why not just get a smaller vehicle, or hybrid? It will help the environment and save you money.

Answer 2

There is an electric vehicle association in most states and countries around the world.

If you do a general search using "electric vehicle association " and your state you should come up with local contacts.

Mostly the members of these groups are the best sources you will find. They will put you onto the best and closest people. ( save you a heap of searching)

Electric vehicles are not just about saving oil, they are just a much better driving experience than clunky, smelly, high maintenace infernal combustion.

Even if the electric comes from fossil fuel there is still a huge saving because of the efficiency of large generators and electric motors. And Tesla will help you fit your own solar pannels on the garage http://www.teslamotors.com, imagine never having to pay for fuel again
