Introducing the Electric Duster Project

Personally, I think this is a very cool project. As someone else has already mentioned, it makes a much better vehicle (pun partially intended) to demonstrate that there are alternatives to friggin' Honda and Toyota that have style.

I'm eager to see battery technology make some huge advances. That'll probably have the single most significant impact on these conversions. I'm still toying with the notion of running on alcohol and/or gasoline that's blended heavily with alcohol for reasons similar to your own. The thing I just can't quite get past about the electric vehicles is the range.

In any case, your car will turn heads from a distance and perhaps more so from close-up.
