This guy was on the radio today talking about his Ford Explorer EV conversion kit (that he sells...for $25k). He designed it for Ford Explorers (1995-2002 only). He said he has other car conversion kits available as well...but pricey!
Interesting info...but pricey! Vehicle retains it's 4x4 capabilities...pretty cool.
