Conversion Time	over a year thanks to the now out of business ECOS motors. Thieves still owe my $750!
Conversion Cost	$5,000 for the kit, $2,000 for the bus and $1,000 for the batteries.
Additional Features	an additional switch for the contact after the keyed ignition switch. Thats it I have no gauges I use a multimeter I had plans for a digital display but could not come up with the money.
I did not really like what I was getting out of the bus too many problems with the vehicle the only thing that was good about it was the electric conversion. When the transmission broke I took the opportunity to convert something else which is coming soon....
