Quiero poner mi grano de arena, tambien estoy con la intencion de convertir mi auto a electrico, y de tanto investigar, encontre una pagina conocida como alibaba.com donde venden autos electricos nuevos de fabricacion china, de precio minimo FOB, de $1500, pasando por rangos de 3, 5, 7,000 dolares, hasta llegar a los mas caros de $29,000. pero lo interesante, son los de rango medio, seria una buena opcion, ya que traen todos los componentes integrados y si en un futuro, se requiere mas potencia o mas rango de autonomia, concidero mas facil, añadir esas piezas, sin necesidad de trabajar tanto en la transformacion de gasolina a electrico. Suerte a todos y sigamos por un planeta mas limpio.

Do you know of a conversion company that specializes in Toyota Prius conversions? I mean, with Prius being manufactured for more than 10 years now and having sold more than 2 million vehicles (three different models of course but common design elements), there should be a very special conversion market out there with a car that’s already half way there. It’s already got a powerful electric engine coupled to the transmission, low aerodynamic drag, a ventilated battery compartment (and plenty of extra room in the back for more batteries) and other essential EV design element, including even a safely housed high-current wiring between the battery and the motor as well as the battery charge controller that can probably be reused/re-purposed. In a regular ICE vehicle all these little things would have to be done from scratch.

Anyways, I know of companies doing plug-in conversion of Priuses, but do you guys know of someone who completely removes ICE from Priuses and converts them into fully-EV vehicles?
