Left Coast Electric

Welcome to our new site. We are pleased to announce that Left Coast Electric is back in business!

Left Coast Electric burned to the ground October 12th 2008. The fire was deemed arson, but there were no suspects. It started on the roof, and even though there was very little flammable material inside, the tar in the composite roofing fed the fire. It was so hot that aluminum melted into pools on the floor. This tragic fire provided a blank slate to start from. Since we didn't have fire insurance, it has taken a while to get back on our feet.

We've been very busy rebuilding the shop and improving ways to bring electric cars and motorcycles to the general public. Bringing the kind of performance and range we expect, at a price that makes sense. WE no longer do any lead acid conversions. We are full committed to lithium polymer for our batteries.

Left Coast Electric inc. is the worlds only electric car conversion company that is certified diamond status by the IEEC. (International Energy Efficiency Council) The IEEC is committed to energy conservation and energy avoidance, not just efficiency.

Reverend Gadget has received in 2009, an Environmental Hero award, for his recognition for improving our environment through individual action. The award was given by VOICE. Volunteers and Organizations Improving the Country's Environment. www.greenervoice.com

Our site is being completely remodeled so please check back soon as we will be adding up to the minute information regularly. Please visit Gadget's blog "Musings of a Madman" which takes a hard look at tech news and announcements and gives it to you straight.

If you have a car that you would like to convert to full electric or if you have questions about converting a kit car to full electric please contact Reverend Gadget . Thank-you.

Why Not Switch To Electric Cars? PDF Print E-mail

By Doug Korthof

There is more than enough off-peak electricity available to easily allow the transfer of all of our driving miles from gasoline- to electric-powered vehicles. We hear a lot of empty talk about attaining energy Independence and about reducing our need for overseas imported oil. But absolutely nothing is being done by our oily political leaders. Yet there is something that people have found they can do, and which bears out the axiom "when the people lead, the leaders follow." There is a small but surprisingly unyielding number of people who adopt the "PV-EV" way of living, using solar Photo-Voltaic ("PV") panels to generate more electricity than they can use and driving a plug-in electric vehicle ("EV") to soak up some of that power. The only impediments to expansion of this small number are the loss of our solar panel industry to foreign companies and the failure of our leaders to make plug-in electric cars available for sale on the open market. There is more than enough off-peak electricity to easily allow the transfer of all of our driving miles from gasoline- to electric-powered vehicles.
