Has anyone looked into this ?Would like to share ideas . My son has a two door and it is a great runner; am tempted to approach him with the idea of taking out the engine and gas tank and putting in an electric motor and some batteries. Jack Crate, Frewsburg, NY

i have been thinking about buying an electric motor and pitting it in a lite compact car such as a geo metro and i have some ideas about how you can run the car and have the batteries charging while you are driving or just when it is needed at a low cost, and it is not solar. kevin hale flint, michigan

I have a Geo Metro I am converting to battery electric.If I have one which ran well, I would just keep it as gas. They were such great little cars, it would be a shame to mess with one which is a good runner. You can see information on what I am doing at; Ecomodder.com in the "Fossil Fuel Free Forum". Also, do a web search for "Forkenswift" for another interesting Metro to electric conversion. -Ben
