So I've played with the idea of converting trucks. But the problem is
not that there aren't converted trucks, it's that very few want/care to drive electric.
In other words, if someone is out there wanting to buy a Honda, I doubt they will be more inclined to buy an "electric" Honda any more than anyone else. The people you will get a sale from are the ones strictly looking for an electric car. In some respects, that makes your job easier as a businessman. You aren't tied down to picking a car that attracts the average buyer. I just happen to have a bias towards Geos, and the conversion seems a bit easier considering the fact of no power steering, but supply is certainly more of an issue. If you love Hondas, and know all the ins and outs of them, your job is that much easier. In any case, I really hope you go forward with this, as the world truly needs more electric vehicles.
