Incase you aren’t aware of this project, a New Zealander decided to do an EV conversion about 8 months ago and has been steadily posting updates on YouTube. He did his first test run about a day ago, and here’s the video:

In the next video, to be featured on his website, he’s going to go on a closed circuit and do something involving a Television crew 
Can’t wait… I want to do an EV Conversion NOW.
thats awesome, i remember when he first got the car in his garage and started stripping it.
Me too, I was there the whole duration of the project. When I saw that car move under its own power I felt like saying “spread your wings and fly away Gav, your father and I are proud…”
I know it’s weird, but I was so touched and inspired, and I still am.
Here’s the TV interview he did
thats awesome i’m over here with my EV grin
I’m over here with my EV school girl giggles 
I had an idea while I was going to sleep a few days ago that maybe we should send Gavin a certificate or letter of thanks on behalf of the people of evforum.net and wattintheworld.phpbb24.com (my forum) for his contributions to the EV community. Maybe we could accompany this with a few dollars worth of carbon credits from cleanairpass or terrapass?
