We are in these present times facing twin threats that are changes in the environment and also possible shortages of fuels that we use to drive our automobiles, and with the cost of fuel also increasing, there is need to find alternative means to transport us from one point to another. Now-a-days, for those who have a little extra cash there are hybrid cars and also electric cars that offer hope as far as the environment and which are cheaper and more efficient fuel as well. However, there are many people that are so attached to their family cars that the thought of switching over to hybrids or electric cars is nothing short of mental torture.

Two Different Types

But, one does not have to worry too much as there is an alternative and that is using an electric car conversion kit, which is available in two types that include replacing existing mechanisms and replacing them with electric drive systems, and having them installed along with the existing fuel system. Which one you choose depends on your personal preference since each has its own positives and negatives.

Anyhow, the essential electric car conversion kit consists of a motor and also a battery as well as control mechanisms. It is also possible to charge the batteries with the help of energy derived either by plugging them to electric wall outlets or through the original car engine. And, a common misconception with regard to electric car conversion kit is that it is inefficient and it may not gel well with your existing car mechanisms. However, the making of electric car conversion kits has undergone certain changes thanks to new technologies that are constantly being evolved which do not cause such problems.

In addition, one may also be under another misconception that the electric car conversion kit will adversely affect the speed and also pick-up of the car though this is not a real problem, and the newer technologies are making even electric car conversion kits provide good enough speeds that are at least as good as what a standard car would give.

With an electric car conversion kit you also get the advantage of your fuel costs going down and there is also no real pollution caused, and that is bound to make your drive free from any worries regarding environmental pollution and when you opt for a gas plus electric car conversion kit, you can get double advantage from using either type of fuel and drive on gas till it runs out and then switch to electricity.

The bottom line is that using electric car conversion kit is not a problem and it gives your car a new lease of life and you get to drive in an eco-friendly manner.
