Reply #40: There are dozens of ZEV manufacturers, NONE are in Detroit. [View All]

The www.electrifyingtimes.org, www.greencarcongress.com sites link to so many ZEV resources it's surprising.
Any decent mechanic can drop an electric motor and controller and battery rack into a mini pickup for $7000. They seem to be limited to 40 mile ranges, at sub freeway speeds. BUT NEV's, glorified golf carts for neighborhoods (neighborhood electric vehicles) are available for $3000 brand new, off the shelf. Lee Iococa is involved in Palm Spring's Ca., company, Lido, Inc. for starters. Las Vegas has a rental company for the slow NEV's using the GEM and the Lido battery cars.
