"From suburban garages to professional workshops, Australians are popping car
bonnets and stripping out petrol and diesel motors, fuel tanks and gear boxes,
mufflers and exhausts.
In place of these greasy, soot-stained parts, they're installing banks of
lithium-ion batteries and small, but powerful, electric motors.
Though not cheap, EV conversion, or "electro modding", is booming in
popularity.
Often, it's a way of breathing new life into beloved older models — a way of
having a classic car without the fumes and breakdowns.
Some hope this change is just the start: they look forward to a time when
conversions can be done cheaply and at mass scale. They believe that at least
some of the petrol cars being sold today may see out their time on the road as
converted electric ones.
So what does conversion cost and could it work for your car?"
