the Grassroots EV Corporation
March 31, 2006
As the price of gas is going up so has interest in Electric cars. Grassroots EV goal has been to help people make the change gas to electric as easy and fast as possible. We can now supply most of the parts, help with any part of a conversion, or supply an” all electric conversion" ready to drive.

This year has started off with me moving some of my operation to a new work place I call “the green shed ". This wonderful building was built buy a boat builder, in the middle of a beautiful wooded area. I now have a place where we can work on your car or truck out of the rain and sun, without bothering neighbors or the city.

Another focus this year will be on people starting conversion shops around the country, helping people who want to start business’s converting cars and trucks to electric and linking them together. Lets trade video, send me a video of your EV project with permission to duplicate it and I'll send you a CD-ROM. Your Project could become our ”project of the month” just call to find out how

Letter from the President of the Grassroots EV Club
March 31, 2002
Two weeks after the 9/11 tragedy sales of our video tapes of Electric Vehicle conversions hit the roof. I had been dragging my feet on my EV Porsche 924 conversion but 9/11 renewed my commitment and the Porsche was on the road the next day. If there was any doubt what foreign oil is doing to our country 9/11 was a bell ringer. What are you willing to give up to keep foreign oil out of America? By converting a gas vehicle to electric you recycle a gas burner and help America become independent of foreign oil. I am expanding this operation. Three people have stepped forward to help. Jon who set up this web site and is now driving an EV Mitsubishi conversion will be helping with sales and promotions. Yvette who is now making and editing the EV videos, and Dan who is showing me what a real car mechanic can do and helping with the current Mazda pick up truck project. They have shown me the importance of group participation as each one brings something new to the table. Buying an EV video, book or having your auto converted to electric will pump life into this grassroots movement,
waiting for somebody else to do it won't.
We incorporated grassrootsev.com and have stocks available for anyone who is interested in becoming a serious part of our organization.
I am opening my shop doors to people who need help with their EV projects for $50/hour. We will take monthly payments on labor and if you can't do that but still need help we'll work something out. I am always happy to give someone a ride in one of my EV conversions. The main objective of the Florida Electric Vehicle Club is to let as many people as possible experience driving an EV, and to share what we have learned about converting gas vehicles to electric.
We have a great deal on 9" motors which are ideal for car conversions just click on the catalog. Anyone who purchases a motor from us will also get a "Convert Your Vehicle to Electric" Video.

Steve Clunns' latest electric conversions.

February 7, 2001
One of my main agendas of the Fort Pierce Electric Car Club is to let as many people as possible experience what driving an electric car is like, and to share my knowledge and help convert gas cars to electric.In 1994, I converted a VW, my first EV, and it worked so well, I started using it for my business, towing a 1500 lb. trailer, and driving about 25 miles a day. Since then, I've converted a Mercury Lynx, Ford Ranger, Hyundai XL, and a Mitsubishi.
In April, 2000, I organized my own electric car show/rally at the local Discount Auto Parts store in Ft. Pierce, FL, where we had several cars on display drawing a crowd.

How much, how difficult, and how long will it take to convert a gas car to electric? To answer these questions, and to show the conversion process, I've made videos of all my conversions (five so far), showing several different ways to make adapter plates, battery boxes, meters, motor mounts, and lots more. To help sell this 2 1/2 hr. tape, I packed it with various other topics such as music lessons, cooking tips, etc., anything that I thought would be of interest. How about adding footage to my collection of your conversion or specialty? Each video includes a ticket, giving you a chance at winning a conversion.

I want to help as many people as possible to convert their car to electric, so let's not let anything stand in the way of your project. If you can tell me what you want the car or truck to do, i.e. how far, how fast, or what tools you have, i.e. welder, torch, I can tell you what your going to need. If you're in the area, you can test-drive my conversion.

I'm offering the video and/or ticket for $10. With each ticket you also get discounts at local participating businesses in Ft. Pierce, and all the money raised from this goes towards parts for another conversion, which will then be given away at the 2001' EV rally in Ft. Pierce on April 28, the Saturday following Earth Day.

I need to sell 500 videos/tickets to raise $5000 to buy the parts to make a very nice conversion. So far, I've got the car body and electric motor, however, there are still lots of parts to be paid for and I'm counting on people who care about the environment to help meet this goal. Get your tickets now, and watch your $10 recycle a polluting gas car into a clean EV.
