Electric driving is so great. Once you drove an electric car for one day, you never want to miss it anymore. It is so much more relaxing and joyful than an internal combustion car.

Dude! Been following for so long (2007) when you built an electric EV (Mitsubishi) and then you sold out the EV, then moved to Europe and I thought you got the EV, then you disappear and now... Back in New Zealand... With a gas EV? Wait... That's not right... 🚘⛽️. But welcome back! 😊❤️

@@BenjaminNelsonX Ah yes No env-200s for you lot. The E-transit, will be available in the US in 2021 so options are finally appearing. And you get Rivians (also 2021?) and we don't. You can get a tesla-equiped promaster from Maxwell vehicles now, www.ev-works.com/electric-promaster/ (expensive, no doubt) and I guess there is a good chance that the e-ducato will make it over there (as a promaster) at some point. There is a dearth of e-campers with useful range everywhere, but I expect that to change over next couple of years.

Hey Im looking to convert. You said your parts in your old car costed around 16k. Now it seems 25-30k. What has caused this? inflation? I would love my budget to be 16k (or as low as possible)

Better parts. The stuff you can get 10 years on is so much more refined, but it is expensive. You can do a conversion on the cheap if you look around for things like the BMW gearbox motor and old leaf/volt/something batteries.
