I'm currently looking into working with the local University in their hybrid vehicle engineering program, which will give me more experience. This spring I plan on converting my own vehicle myself. But I'm more interested in opinions concerning whether or not this is a good idea economically, since the conversion costs will be competing with current, and more importantly future hybrids and EV's being sold on the market. This may not be a sustainable business, since future technology advances may make conversions not even worth the effort. Though converting older hybrid/EV vehicles to more efficient hybrid/EV vehicles could and will have to be the next step in the business.
