Frequently Asked Questions
How far can I go on electric power?
Our typical conversion gets 50-70 miles per charge with conservative battery usage to prolong its lifespan, occasional maximum range can be even higher. You can go further with larger battery pack, but the vehicle will either be heavier than it should be or much more expensive. When planning EV conversion we will carefully select the size of the battery pack to meet your range goals, while managing the cost and weight of the pack.
How fast will it go?
Our conversions produce "fully capable" electric cars. That means that the cars we build will be able to get speeds in excess of 65 mph. These cars accelerate well and can coexist in city traffic easily. Beyond that, top speed and acceleration are determined by your budget. Remember that range decreases with speed because of increased air drag, so range estimations are made at typical speed of 40-50 mph. For example the range at 70mph will be significantly less. That is why its important to choose aerodynamic cars for conversion.
How do I charge it?
The cars plug in to charge. They don't use gasoline at all. Most of us just charge in our garages or in our driveway. They can use either 110 volt or 240 volt outlets. We recommend installing a 240V outlet in the garage for faster charging.
How long does it take to charge?
Fully discharged EV will charge in 7-8 hours on a 240 volt high amperage outlet or 10-15 hours on a 110 volt outlet. However, its unlikely that your EV will be fully discharged every day, so nightly charges will be shorter than that.
How do I register EV with the DMV?
Since Florida does not have mandatory emission test program, you do not need to inform DMV at all. You can, if you'd like, request a change in the title of your converted car to indicate electric propulsion, instead of gasoline. You will have to pay a title fee at that time.
How do I insure my EV?
Mandatory liability coverage does not care if you have EV or ICE car, since it only covers the other party in the accident. Comprehensive coverage must be reviewed with your insurance company to make sure it covers additional cost of the EV conversion, if you want such coverage. Some insurance companies have different rules regarding "stated value" of the car. Its not really about EV, its about the fact that original car's value has changed significantly, so you need to work with your insurance agent to make sure your coverage goals are met.
Are there Tax Incentives available for EV conversions?
Yes, The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 extends a 10% plug-in vehicle tax credit to EV conversions. So, you can get 10% of your total conversion cost back on your next tax return. Check with your CPA for details.
