- I didn't intend to start the project until mid-summer in the first place.
- I need to sell my truck first. This hasn't happened yet.
- Right now, I need a car to drive during the conversion. So far, I've been driving the CR-V as a gas car. My old car needs an exhaust, rotors, and a battery if I am to start the conversion myself.
- I have been considering having a garage perform the conversion, and I'm still mulling this over. The garage will have the conversion done much faster than me doing it in my spare time, but on the other hand, I want the experience of doing it largely myself.
- Lastly, I was in a minor accident on my motorcycle back in March, and uncertainty about medical bills made me cautions to commit many resources. Not to worry, I am completely fine, and fully recovered from the accident.
With all of that out of the way, we are proceeding with the conversion. The way and timetable to proceed is still a bit in question, but it is happening.

Hi Mike,
Just wondering if you ever got round to doing any more work on the CR-V.
I have a high-miler 1997 one that I am thinking about converting in the next few years for my son to drive when he's old enough.
I'm thinking the technology has changed a bit in the 4 years since your last post, so any comments would be very interesting!!
Good luck with the project whenever you get to it.
Gary.
No, I never did convert the CR-V. I ended up moving to Arizona (from Pittsburgh).
Now that I live in a place that it almost never rains, I use my 80 mpg Honda Rebel Motorcycle to do my commuting about 95% of the time. I only use the CR-V for long trips and for towing a pop-up camper - both are things that an EV isn't going to be able to accomplish.
At this rate, the next EV will be a motorcycle conversion, but I don't even have plans for that at the moment.
