My wife and I have inherited her family's cottage rental business. The business currently has a small truck (1996 tachoma) that shuttles firewood, a lawn mower, returnables, and laundry. It never goes far, and does not drive in winter. It does, however, need to be able to to go short distances...

Hi, I am a complete newbie to EV conversions. I have a couple good candidate vehicles already on hand. One is a stripped down former drag car, 3rd gen nova that needs the drivetrain replaced, but there is not much battery space. Battery space equals more possible range, I think. So my...

I've been thinking about my needs for an EV and I am now considering something larger rather than smaller. I have a 1989 Toyota 4x4 pickup truck with a cap and I rarely drive it, but it comes in handy once in a while for getting stuff like firewood, furniture, building supplies, appliances, etc...

This weekend we filmed some footage of Craig's S10 EV. I thought it was a very nice conversion although he wants to make it even cleaner still. The truck had plenty of pep and good range. If you have questions about this conversion, this is the place to ask. He used 16 8v Trojan golf cart...

I've got a late 80's Toyota pickup with a blown engine that, to me seems like a perfect candidate for an electric conversion. What concerns me is that I have not seen much talk about converting Toyota pickups. Am I just not looking in the right places or are they just difficult to work with...

I'm interested in converting an older (~2000) model Nissan Frontier truck. The older ones are a little smaller than the newer ones. I realize it will be on the heavy side, but it serves a huge need for me. I want to be able to get my family of 4 inside and be able to drive around town...
