I wish CARB would give a project like this a HOV "ok" sticker for the bumper!

This project was over 1000 hours of build time, and a whole lot more learning the principles of electricity and physics.
I would imagine that a more basic conversion could be accomplished for under $10K, no? And a lot less than a 1000 hours, I hope.

I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
