Converting your car to run on electricity has proven to increase mileage eliminate fuel costs - and help the environment. (There are also IRS refunds available up to $1,000 to people driving  environmentally friendly cars).  

Up until recently, it was also pretty expensive - the only way to electric car conversion was to get it done professionally, which could cost as much as $6,000. Even stand-alone electric car conversion kit can sell for as much as $3,000.

Luckily, the last six months has seen a crop of electric car conversion guides, which show how to convert your car to electricity yourself - using low cost materials, and with little or no technical knowledge required.

We decided to sit down and review these new guides - our key criteria were ease-of-use, affordability of materials, and speed of conversion. Overall, we were pleasantly surprised with the results - the technology evidently does work, and if you pick the right guide, you could be up and running in two weeks.

We reviewed 11 electric car conversion guides - only 3 met our criteria:

• Should explain how to obtain free electric motors
• Should explain where to find controllers for motors and which one is best.
• Should explain how to find free batteries for your electric car conversion
• Should be easy to understand and use 
• Should provide a step-by-step PDF manual with illustrations
• Should offer full online support

Our Preferred Choice: Electricity4Gas

Electricity4Gas Rating 9.8/10 Features Ease of Use Effectiveness Customer Service Visit Website Now "Still the best Electric Car Conversion Guide in 2008..." By far the easiest-to-follow guide we came across - our own experience says you should set aside two weeks to get your electric car conversion done. This is the only guide that assumes absolutely no knowledge of cars. Impressively, our support ticket was responded to in under an hour (although it could take a little longer at weekends), and there is an unconditional 8 week money back guarantee. Best of all, the technology required is readily available and cheap - we were able to access all the parts needed for well under $300. Given that its proven to eliminate fuel cost, you could well recoup your investment in under a week. Installation works with any gas or diesel powered car, van, truck or SUV. Aimed squarely at car "novices", and still our top pick for 2008.   Instant download - offers immediate access to the guide once you have paid. August 2009 Update: there is now a promotion running on the site, and it is temporarily available for $49.97 instead of $99.97 - as such, we recommend ordering sooner rather than later. The Verdict: Guide shows fast and easy electric car conversion; range over 100 miles, works for complete car novices; proven eliminate fuel cost - our top pick.

Rating 9.0/10 Features Ease of Use Effectiveness Customer Service   Highly Recommended Convert2EV Our second pick uses the same technology as our top pick - and again, we were impressed by the fast support, money-back guarantee and low setup costs. The guide includes free bonus - 'The Going Green Value Pack'  (Wind Energy for Your Home - including how to build your own wind generator; Solar Energy for Your Home - includes making and installing your own  solar panels; Free Solar Panels and Renewable Energy Solutions Guide; Bio Diesel Fuel Solutions - a great alternative fuel), arguably worth the cost of the guide on their own. All in all, its a great package for very little. So why only four stars? Well, perhaps we were spoiled by our top pick, but we found the directions a little harder to follow - and since ease of use is so important, we decided to knock off a star.

Rating 8.5/10 Features Ease of Use Effectiveness Customer Service Also Recommended Gas2Electric Gas2Electric is our third and final pick, and again, the guide was presented in a clear and easy-to-follow format. The difference between this and the other two sites was small, however - our support ticket was not responded to  as fast as other two. A full, hands-on support system is vital if a relative "car novice" is to install the technology, and here unfortunately it just wasn't there.   Click Here To Get Instant Access To Gas2Electric
