Message	the minimum conversion cost is $8000. The author assumes electricity cost to be $.02 per mile and for comparisons sake assumes $3 per gallon and 20 miles per gallon or $.15 per mile ($3/20). Therefore the price differential between gas and electricity is .$13 per mile. So after 61,538 miles ($8000/.13) you would recover the conversion cost in money not spent on gasoline. The article features a 84 300ZX conversion. While your driving those 61,538 miles in that car if you want to go fast, say 40 to 45 mph, you can go as far as 70 miles at a time. Is this what you drive a Z car for? Chance favors the informed
