DIY 'E-rides' and 'E-walls'

Jehu Garcia and Michael Bream of EV West, grease monkeys or a lithium monkeys? Auto enthusiasts transforming guzzlers to fully-electric cruisers and making self-sustaining e-walls. They acquire lithium laptop batteries, Tesla modules, second-hand e-motors and installs them in vintage rides. They don't belch carbureted-black smoke at startup, no rumbles or burbles or gear-shift stumbles; they quickly and quietly surge down the boulevard and still kicks dust offroad. Cost of lithium-ion batteries are rapidly dropping and they represent 1/3 of building EVs. Lowered costs attracting the next-gen gearheads. Their most important tool, a soldering iron?
