ELECTRO AUTOMOTIVE CAN GET YOU DRIVING AN ELECTRIC CAR TODAY

When you hear the term “electric car” two thoughts probably run through your head.  First, may remember those goofy early electric cars that a handful of people in California drove around in the seventies, and second you may think of futuristic concept cars that automotive companies keep alluding to, yet never put into production.  (Yeah, that’s you, Tesla…)

Well, Electro Automotive may just provide people with a different view of electric cars because this company sells kits that can convert regular cars into electric automobiles.  Sounds pretty cool, doesn’t it?

But surely there’s a catch.  Like, only Honda Civics can successfully be converted, right?  Not really.  Although an electric conversion will surely be better with a lightweight, energy-efficient car, almost any car can be made into an all-electric. 

For example, auto enthusiasts have used kits from Electro Automotive to convert everything from a Rolls Royce, to a VW Rabbit, to a Porsche 911T to full electric power.  One converted Porsche 914 runs on 120V and can achieve speeds of 90+ miles per hour.  The range of the batteries of this conversion kit is from 80-100 miles.  Electro Automotive refers to this particular kit as the Voltsporsche kit. 

While most auto-enthusiasts will find these conversions interesting, a good many of them ultimately prefer their exotic cars to operate the old fashioned way.  Unfortunately, most enthusiasts are priced of the exotic car market. 

Fear not. There is a solution for these poor lost souls: exotic car clubs.  These exotic car clubs exist all over the country; www.exoticcarclubs.com is an excellent online directory for finding a club in your home city.  For residents of the Texas, DFW Elite Car Club (www.dfwelitecarclub.com) offers members the keys to a club paddock with over 40 classic, exotic, and luxury autos.

Best of all, the Ferrari F430 F1 and Bentley GTC can be driven without the costs of traditional exotic car ownership. No depreciation, no maintenance, just the pure joy of the open road for a monthly membership fee that’s less than the payment on a single exotic. If someone on your Christmas list has been a very good boy, consider making him a member of the premier exotic car sharing club in Dallas, TX. 

For something a little more short-term, there are always exotic car rental.  www.rentexoticcars.net is an outstanding directory of exotic car rental companies across the United States.  In the Dallas/Ft. Worth, DFW Elite Auto Rental (www.dfweliteautorental.com) offers an outstanding selection of classic and exotic cars and offers daily internet exotic car rental specials. 

For the truly once-in-a-lifetime experience, a true car enthusiasts should take an exotic car tour.  Select exotic car rental agencies offer these full day fantasy car driving experiences. Instead of renting a single exotic, tour participants drive four or five exotics back to back in the space of a single day. The day includes briefings on the finer points of operating the exotic cars, photo ops, lunch, and unlimited high fives.
