GM Releasing Kits That Can Convert Old Gasoline Cars to Electric Vehicles

The biggest issue is the battery. Replacing the average vehicle’s 15 gallon gas tank with an equivalent sized battery does not provide anywhere near the range. 15 gallons of gas is about 270 kWh of energy. Smaller EV’s like the Mini Cooper only have 28 kWh of energy.

Electric vehicles such as the Tesla carry a massive batter occupying much of the floor of the vehicle. There is no way to readily convert a gas vehicle to electric with any meaningful driving range.
