“If you replace your current large or small internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicle with a new PHEV of the same size, it will take over 40,000 miles of driving the PHEV in place of the old vehicle to save as much energy and CO2 emissions as was consumed in the manufacture of thenew vehicle! If instead you convert your existing vehicle into a PHEV, you will need to drive only 8,600 miles before beginning to save more energy and CO2 emissions than caused by the conversion process.”

The Case for EV Conversion vs. New PHEV is very obvious to anyone who will “Run the Numbers” as the recycling of the “Glider” saves 65% of initial cost. In my opinion however all the conversion workshops shortchange the electrical repair and operation theory AND Practice. Stop showing ‘power point’ slide shows and make the classes much more “Hands-On” like my EV Training Institute Inc. does! Call me at (863)289-0690. I’ll explain it to you.
