1991 Geo Metro donor



Hi all, my name's Rodney, and I live in Bellevue, WA.

My wife and I want to convert our driving lives to electric as much as possible, feasible, and affordable. Her work commute is usually about 10 miles round-trip in a day on city streets, and mine is less than 20 miles round-trip with one brief (1-mile) highway section in each direction. Both of these trips are easily achievable with low-cost owner-conversion Electric Vehicles.

On May 2, 2009, we bought a 1991 Geo Metro 5-door hatchback which we intend to convert to electric, a project which will be chronicled on this blog. It's very clean for an 18 year old car. Built in Canada, it's got the 1.0L 3-cylinder engine, manual steering, and power brakes.
