I don't know about conversions, but if you search the net far enough there
are people that will convert just about anything. I also saw a new car
that is being marketed - named the tesla - designed in conjunction with
lotus - looks very interesting. My father's into hybrids, and he had an
official link,but I can't seem to find it with a real quick google search.
Anyhow - it is fast, light car with a recharge range of about 250 miles.
