This is Discover Hybrid Cars, but is there a tree hugger among us who can resist the prospect of a full electric? How about a full-electric classic VW bug? I thought not! Well, hold on to your hippy hats—the folks over at Wilderness E.V. now sell a range of DIY electric kits designed to plop right into any pre-1979 Volkswagen bug.

 

The E-Volks kits start at about $2200 for the basic set up and run up to about $5500 for the top-of-the-line kit that’ll hit freeway speeds. They even sell complete cars if the do-it-yourself style isn’t your thing. Plus, it’s not just bugs the E-Volks works in—any V-dub based ride will do. From Ghias and vans to square backs and kit cars, any rear-engine model can be outfitted with these well thought out kits.

The Best Buy in Electro-Motion

Thursday, 19 November 2009 21:26 Keen & Green Hybrid Car News
It’s happening folks, as technology, manufacturing and distribution progress, consumer prices fall. A prime example is the recent partnership between Brammo, maker of the Enertia electric motorcycle, and BestBuy, seller of all things electric. When the partnership was announced, the Brammo Enertia’s base price dropped from $11,995 to $7,995! Couple that with a 10% rebate from Uncle Sam, and you’re commuting carbon free for just over 7 grand. Sometimes it seems like going green is only reserved for the rich and famous, but moves like this are a good sign of things to come for us cost-conscious tree huggers.
