Do It Yourself (DIY) Electric Car Conversion in Australia

I found a video below from Youtube about an Australian guy that made his own electric car in Australia. He totally retrotiffed a Hyundai Getz to run purely on electricity. Just like most of the electric car pioneer, he faces some challenges from the state government. Good news is, the local government of Victoria is open to his idea. Check out the video.

I think it is a matter of time before the world’s governments open up to the idea of mass electric vehicles. How long can we depend on fossil fuel? We should applaud all the electric car enthusiasts around the world and offer our support to them. Hopefully, one day all of us will be driving a clean, efficient and noiseless electric motorcar.
