\nSee EV-Works.com<\/a> from Bainbridge for top notch conversions, but only if you are prepared to drop about $45k on a conversion. Yup, that’s about the minimum for a highway-capable AC-driven professional conversion, given that it takes at least 240 hours of labor and serious shop overhead. <\/p>\n

\n<\/a>Dave Cloud Electric Racing<\/a>\u00a0(no website- email only)\u00a0\u00a0SEVA member Dave Cloud has probably done more EV conversions than anyone else in the State of Washington.
