Here comes the Electric White Zombie!

Published by Stefano Paris on November 20, 2008 — 9:50 pm
Oregon Public Broadcasting recently aired a segment on John "Plasma Boy" Wayland's White Zombie - an electric conversion of a 1972 Datsun 1200.  Watch the embedded video below to see how quick this DC electric home conversion runs against the gasoline muscle car competition.  Enthusiasts like John are showing the performance potential of electric vehicles and proving once again that "filling up" on electrons is cool.

    I have been trying to find out what car/truck is best designed to give the most miles per charge and is it possible to do my own conversion? I am a plumber with little electrical knowledge.
