Gav’s EV Conversion – Bonus Video – Wow! I’m Famous!
TV3′s top rating current affairs program Campbell Live did a piece on my electric car project! It’s a hot topic with the price of gas going up recently, and will get become even more valid when gas prices go up again in the next few weeks. It was a great fun day of filming and test driving on private roads north of the city. You can see some beautiful Taranaki backdrops there too. You can see the presenter enjoying driving the electric car too. He couldn’t believe how good the acceleration was and how it didn’t use a drip of fuel the whole day! Hey, I’m still getting used to it myself! Being part of the TV3 film crew for a day was great fun – I could do that more often! 
You can check out the next step and project progress on my website www.KiwiEV.com ANOTHER UPDATE!! I’m selling DVDs of the whole project for USD at my website www.KiwiEV.com (That includes Airmail postage too!) The quality’s much better than on Youtube and it comes with an unreleased Bonus Video!

Gav,
Thanks, you have inspired me to? more fully document my own EV conversion on YouTube.
I love how it is called a conversion. Almost as if it is a religious experience. Not far off I’d say. Cheers from Kearns, Utah, USA
My? dream is to convert American Muscule Car into an Electric, but i think Muscular Cars are generally Back Drive, Is is possible to convert Back Drives into EVs.
Yeah, You are Famous? and Inspiration for EV freaks like me. I will definitely convert one, following all you instructions when I earn.
Is it possible to power up the steering wheel in these converted EVs?
