Welcome to our site!

The California Cars Initiative (CalCars) started a revolution when they published their open source method of converting a Prius to a Plug-In Hybrid thereby proving to the world that 100MPG vehicles are possible now. Movies like "An Inconvenient Truth" and "The 11th Hour" have given voice global warming scientists when governments are silencing them. Peer reviewed scientists who have studied climate change are unanimously alarmed about the threats to our planet. Now, since governments and automakers have failed to act, average citizens are taking matters into their own hands and beginning to convert cars to electric or plug-in hybrid electric. This site is a distillation of information and resources for those interested in the do-it-yourself work of others.
