It has 20 x 6volt deep cycle golf cart batteries that
need to have water added about every six weeks. Before owning
this EV the repair and maintenance cost of my gas vehicle
were very high. The basic mechanics of this pickup truck
is an electric motor, accelerator, controller and a battery
pack instead of a internal combustion engine and its parts:
pistons, carburetor, gas lines and tank, spark plugs, sensors,
radiator, pumps, hoses etc. a lot of things breakdown on
an internal combustion engine and the oil and spark plugs
need to be changed often. You do have to change the batteries
in an EV about every three to four years but just counting
the money you save on gas not even counting what you save
on maintenance and repairs will more than pay for this.
By the time you have gone 70,000 non gas guzzling miles
the money you save will be more than you paid for the EV.
You can expect an electric motor to last over a million
miles compared to a gas engine that will only run a little
over 150 thousand miles before you have to do major repairs.
An EV can pay for itself five to ten times when compared
to the average internal combustion engine. Electric vehicles
are literally very cool and may be a major factor in combating
air and water pollution. We know that this is very important
for our environment and future generations. This is why
Grassroots Electric Vehicle Club is helping as many people
as possible convert from gas powered vehicles to electric.
The gas powered transportation system has been leaking oil
into our water and poisonous exhaust into the air we breathe
and this is causing health problems, carbon monoxide exhaust
and gas fumes can be deadly and may be adversely affecting
your health now. www.GrassrootsEV.com shows you how you
can afford to own and benefit by commuting in an EV, joining
this movement toward the cleaner electric mode of transportation.
We offer for sale EV conversions and all the parts and literature
a person needs to convert a vehicle to electric or we can
do the work for you. I am proud to drive an electric vehicle
knowing that I am not contributing too many of the problems
America is facing today because of its dependence on oil.
America needs you to join this grassroots progress like
thousands of other patriotic Americans. It has been over
two years since this truck has been converted there have
been some improvements in the new electronics and our techniques
have advanced from the back yard into a CNC machine shop.
Your EV can have major improvements over this one. So please
consider this option the next time you are making major
transportation decisions.
