Answer
Well, as an investment, it's a good thing. Because the power you spend is much cheaper then petrol. Also, electrical engines are far more efficient then petrol because there is minimum energy loss then petrol engines, or any engines that run on fossil fuels for that matter. It's ecological, you don't have any CO2 emissions. However, there is a big con on these types of cars. For an example, since these engines are electrical, they need electricity to power them, and a lot of energy is required for that. You need to store that energy somewhere. That is, you need a large battery with enough Ah capacity to hold the el. energy as much as it can. Whats the con?
First, all battery's have a number of charge cycles. For example, a typical Li-Polymer battery has 1000 charge cycles, which means when you (in total) discharge and recharge the battery for 1000 times, the battery losses it's capacity. And then you need to buy a new one. The ones you use for el. cars, are pretty expensive. Price range is from 1000$ to 10000$, depending on the capacity of course. And since you, I suppose, drive a lot, the battery will run for a few years and then dry out. And since you need a new one, it "seems" that it's even cheaper to run on petrol. This of course depends a lot, but I think it's better to buy a hybrid then completely convert the engine to electrical. And you also need "gas" stations where you would have fast chargers so you can "fill up" your battery. The whole electrical cars concept is still new and it's developing really slow.

Nevertheless, if you own 2 cars, I would definitely convert one of them to electrical. Use one for city drives, and the other for long distance drives. You could save a lot of money by this method.

car engine?

could i put a V6 engine in a hundyai elantra that has a 2.0L engine in it now or would everything have to be change everything? If yu need more info to figure out what i have to do email me at sherman2131@yahoo.com.?


Answer
It probably won't fit without extensive modifications to th engine bay, front wheel drive cars are much more difficult when it comes to engine swaps of different size if the new engine isn't native to a trim level of the car
