The technology to convert gas powered cars to electric has been around for over 20 years. You could be spending $30 a month to power your car with electricity instead of $300 a month in gas. Take a look…

I’m not suggesting that everybody should go buy a $40,000 hybrid vehicle. Most people don’t have a fat wallet to go out spend that kind of money on a new car. That is one reason why a gas-to-electric conversion might make more sense for the average consumer.

There are many options for converting a gas powered vehicle to run 100% on electricity. In fact, you can buy really good gas-to-electric-conversion kits online for between $2,000 and $5,000.

Just imagine how many jobs would be created if every gas car was converted to electric.

The Benefits

– Greatly reduce your monthly fuel costs
– Jobs created for converting Vehicles and stations for electric
– Reduced Carbon Footprint
– Less war being fought over foreign oil
– A safety net for our infrastructure if gas prices get unaffordable

Increased domestic manufacturing is crucial for our economic recovery and converting gas cars to electric cars is the answer. Let’s take a look at some of the hurdles that need jumped to make this a perfect plan for economic recovery.

There are some hurdles that need to be jumped before this can realistically happen….

Improve existing battery technology

Battery life and charge time greatly affect the feasibility of gas-to-electric car converisons. Most of these types of electric cars only have a range of 30-100 miles. For most people, this can be fine for going to work and back, but some people also want cars that can go long distances.

Evolve the Infrastructure of gas station and convenience stores

Batteries charge slowly. In fact, for many batteries, the faster you charge them, the faster they will run out of juice. This is why creating a mechanism for changing out batteries is essential for extending the range of gas-to-electric conversions.

Conclusion

We’ve been in quite the recession lately. There have been big bail-outs and economic stimulus plans that have failed. What we really need is to increase manufacturing within the United States. If we buy most of our things from outside our borders and don’t make anything ourselves, then of course we’re going to be losing money!
So what happens when gas prices get so high that trucks can no longer run up and down our interstate highways? Everything is transported to us, like food for example. I don’t know about you, but I prefer to avoid such situations.
