| At EV-propulsion we have been doing electric car conversions since 1975, right after the first "oil crisis". Back then there were not any parts that were designed for cars, so we had to modify existing components from electric forklifts, or create our own parts. Over the years we created more and more complex car conversions so we can now have automatic transmissions, power steering, air conditioning and like, so the driving feel of an electric car is not much different from the gasoline versions we are used to, except for the lack of noise and having to stop at gas stations! With the recent huge increase in gas costs there has been a huge demand for an alternative from people all over the country, up to and including the president of our country. This demand encouraged us to open our knowledge of electric vehicles for parts sales (for the do it yourself-er), and our conversion service where we will convert a vehicle for you. The following are pictures of a few recent conversions, as well as some unique electric vehicles we have had through the years. Be sure to check our "projects" page for our conversions being done now! |
| Our first electric car... Well not really-we don't go back this far! But it does show electric vehicles are not a new idea-in fact at one time there were more electric cars than gas powered-and they were the vehicle of choice for many people. This is a picture of a 1903 Centaur Electric. |
| Our current project, a Mazda Miata, being converted on a rotisserie. Please see the "projects" page for more details! |
| Some recent conversions, a Chevy S-10 pickup on the left, and a Ford Aspire on the right. Recently in local newspapers and TV. |
| This is our first conversion, a 1971 Simca. Was in several newspapers also at the time, and used for many years. |
| Several unique production cars we've had over the years. Clockwise from top left: 1-Used by the New York city electric company, Con Ed. 2-Solargen electric AMC Concord station wagon. 3-Subaru electric mini-van 4-Vanguard Citicar, a popular vehicle in its time, we serviced a few in the local area. |

Build a car for you, not for them ! (the oil companies!) |
| This is a GE EV-1 SCR speed controller from the late 70's, early 80's (compared to todays Curtis controller) These were used in the solargen shown above- quite a difference from todays controllers-in size,power, and obvious ease of wiring! |
30 years difference in speed control design !
