Environmentally Friendly Electric Vehicles
^ and fun to drive!
Why Electric Cars?
It is a fact that we are rapidly reaching the point of "peak oil" production and will soon enter an era where the demand for fossil fuels will rapidly exceed the demand. There are many alternative fuels that can be used to power our vehicles, but none as versatile and renewable as electricity. At this point, nearly every auto manufacturer in the world has plans for production of hybrid or all electric models in the next 3 years.

Comments from a recent student
I just want to thank you again for the EV class. It was informative in that it reinforced many of the things that I had seen on the internet plus I learned quite a few things, especially about safety. It was really great to see a 'real live' EV with all its components and thanks for letting us drive it!
Have a Car Converted
If you aren't the "tinkering" type, let us know and we can either find you your "dream EV" or build one for you! Not every car is a perfect candidate for becoming an electric car, so let us know what you are thinking about and we will let you know if it is possible. We also offered "Shared Build" projects. You can work with us and do some of the labor yourself!
