Thanks to the recent stimulus package incentives, the US Government is now joining with our own Austin Energy to make buying an electric car more affordable than ever. Typically, a ReinCarNation conversion will cost you between $12,000 to $15,000, depending on the car converted.
This price may still seem high at first, until you compare it to any other electric car option or hybrid on the market today. And electric cars really show their economy in the long run, when you consider the cost of gas is on the rise again. Here is how much folks typically spend each year on gas, when gas is $2, $3 or even $4 per gallon. An eKarz car is much cheaper to recharge, adding only about $20 per month to your electric bill.
