Hi all,

I saw the clip on Li-battery powered cars (normal cars) on CNN. With gas 
prices etc this is an unavoidable topic. The clip shows conversions of 
common (?) cars to electric/lithium power. This may be the shortest way 
from what exists to what should exist, in despite of weight problems. At 
the same time, hybrids are de-hyped in certain articles. A converted 
(new) Smart was said to be worth $30,000.

How far fetched is it, for the home/garage constructor to convert an 
exsiting used car to electric for about $10,000. Who would insure it ? 
Is it street legal ? Can he *sell* it ? (where! beware there are lots of 
roads outside the US ...). Discussion ?

Peter
